Description

Do you know the secret formula to crush the AP exams, SAT, or ACT? Are you a proven test-prep tutor with a track record of improving student scores? If you are ready to escape the rat race of drumming up your own business or forking over a portion of your pay to a corporate test prep company, join gt.school!

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. 

In this role, you will map the content and skills needed for our high school students to ace the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Next comes the fun part! You'll find the very best resources to deliver that missing content - testing hundreds of apps, games, and online videos to find the most effective and engaging options!

We guarantee 40 hours of work every week at competitive rates. All your work hours are billable, not just your time spent with students. No more hustling to get new clients or doing hours of unpaid work traveling to students and prepping for sessions. gt.school provides the students, infrastructure, and a winning framework – all you need to bring is your expertise and creativity!

If you're ready to help revolutionize education, apply today!
