Job Description
We are seeking high energy, creative, and fun employees who are passionate about working with college bound students. We are very particular when selecting members to join our team because we understand the importance of the role we play in the future of our students' lives. Our guiding principle is "It’s cool to be good in school!" This is more than just a tag line. It is what every staff member instills in our students each and every day.
Our high school students especially like working with current college students so we encourage you to apply. As an added bonus, our employees are welcome to study in the quiet tutoring center during their off time and help each other with their studies.
All positions are located in Charleston, West Virginia and involve part-time or full-time work as a W-2 employee. No travel is required. Hourly rate of pay, between $10 to $25, is based on experience. You have the luxury of setting your own working hours but must be able to meet client scheduling needs which may include off business hours, such as after school, evenings and weekends.
If you excel at motivating students and delivering personalized service, we encourage you to apply to join our team.
