The posting

Teacher Tutors is hiring an experienced part-time Humanities tutor to join our team on a flexible basis. We’re seeking a seasoned educator with a deep humanities background to support high school students across honors and AP-level courses in English, history, and the social sciences. This role is ideal for a tutor with extensive experience in AP-level instruction, a strong command of analytical reading and writing, and a genuine enjoyment of working one-on-one with students.

Our students range from those strengthening core skills to those tackling the most demanding AP coursework and exams. Sessions take place in students’ homes, at the library, at our Livingston, NJ office, or online. Most of our clients prefer in-person tutoring, so we’d love tutors who are open to offering it. We match families to tutors based on your preferred travel radius: you tell us how far you’re willing to drive, and we work within that.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver one-on-one humanities tutoring sessions tailored to each student’s course, instructor’s expectations, and learning goals.
  • Plan lessons and prepare materials (close-reading practice, essay and free-response coaching, document-based and source analysis, thesis and argument development, review guides, and structured exam-prep schedules as test dates approach).
  • Build students’ fluency with the core skills that cut across humanities courses (analytical reading, evidence-based argument, clear and persuasive writing, source evaluation, and timed essay execution) alongside the specific content of the courses you support.
  • Coach students through the writing-heavy demands of AP humanities exams, including the essay and free-response formats and their rubrics.
  • Track progress across sessions and adjust pacing, materials, and difficulty based on what’s working.
  • Submit a short session note after each tutoring session and flag concerns to our Director early.
  • Communicate clearly and warmly with parents.
  • Contribute to our team’s shared practice: share what’s working, ask questions, and help us keep raising the bar.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in English, history, political science, a humanities or social science field, or a closely related area. Master’s or PhD candidates are welcome.
  • Extensive experience tutoring or teaching at the AP level in one or more humanities subjects, with a strong command of the analytical reading and writing those courses demand.
  • Demonstrated mastery in the humanities course(s) you’ll be supporting, with the ability to scale up to the most advanced coursework.
  • Tutoring, TA, or classroom teaching experience with students at the relevant grade levels.
  • Working familiarity with the relevant AP course and exam descriptions (e.g., AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP European History, AP U.S. Government, AP Psychology, or AP Human Geography) and the areas where students most often struggle, such as thesis construction, use of evidence, document-based questions, and timed essay writing.
  • Strong communication skills and the patience to work with students who may arrive frustrated, anxious, or burned out after a rough test or assignment.
  • Ability to plan individualized sessions and adapt in real time when a planned approach isn’t landing, including explaining the same concept in multiple ways until it clicks.
  • Availability for afternoon, evening, or weekend hours during the school year, with extra capacity around exam season and finals.
  • Comfort with educational technology.
  • Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license for in-home sessions.

Preferred

  • Strong outcomes with AP humanities students (e.g., grade improvement, AP score gains, successful essays).
  • Versatility across multiple humanities subjects, so you can support students taking more than one AP course.
  • Experience as an AP Reader or scorer, or deep familiarity with how AP free-response answers are scored.
  • Familiarity with the major textbooks and curricula commonly used in these courses, so you can meet students inside the framework their teacher is using.
  • Real-world or professional experience (writing, research, journalism, law, academia) that helps you bring the material to life.

Benefits

Compensation & employment status

  • Pay range: $40 - $50/hour, based on degree and experience
  • W-2 (default): Most part-time tutors join as W-2 employees. Teacher Tutors handles payroll, taxes, and provides liability coverage during sessions.
  • 1099 (optional): Tutors who prefer 1099 contractor status are welcome, provided they carry their own professional liability insurance and operate through a registered LLC. Documentation will be requested during onboarding.

Coverage area

We serve families across northern New Jersey, with most in-home sessions concentrated in Essex, Morris, Union, and Bergen counties. When you join, you’ll let us know your preferred travel radius from home, and we’ll match you with students within that range.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
