Description

Do you know the secret recipe to ace the AP History & Social Studies exams? If you crushed your own AP history exams and are ready to help others do the same, we want to talk to you!

gt.school helps gifted and talented students accelerate their learning via fully remote educational apps. We believe technology can deliver an educational experience that engages and teaches kids 3-5x faster than the standard teacher-classroom model. 

You will approach learning through the lens of tutoring: when students only have 1-2 hours a week to spend on a subject, what are the most important concepts, tools, and skills to learn? Success in this role will be measured by the percentage of students scoring 4+ on their AP exams.

If you’re eager to give kids a learning experience that actually makes them love school, we urge you to apply.

What you will be doing

  • Building educational software by mapping content to standards and lessons, building content classifications, and sequencing lessons
  • Evaluating academic content created by generative AI for completeness, accuracy, and clarity
  • Analyzing and improving generative AI prompts
  • Providing feedback and guidance on educational software to ensure it's student-friendly and leverages best practices in education design

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching groups of students; our educational software does the teaching and you'll be building the content it uses
  • Building the technical side of the product or coding

Key responsibilities

  • Developing educational software that prepares students to excel on AP exams
  • Constantly improving the program to enhance student engagement and achievement

Candidate requirements

  • Attended a Top 15 US college or university
  • At least 2 years of experience tutoring AP World History or US History (1-on-1 tutoring) or college-level tutoring experience
  • Scored a 5 on the AP World History or US History exam
  • Ability to pick up technical concepts quickly and an interest in using generative AI
  • Willing to iterate and adapt to change in a fast-paced startup environment
