The posting
Bridgewater Prep, a rapidly growing educational startup based in Fairfield County, CT, is seeking to hire a full-time senior instructor with an exceptionally strong background in mathematics and an outgoing personality to join our tight-knit team. You will work predominantly with high school students, teaching the ACT, SAT, mathematics (up through AP Calculus BC), and, if capable, chemistry, physics, and/or biology. You must be able to teach all areas of the ACT and SAT, so strong reading comprehension and grammar skills are required. During the school year, most of our work occurs between 3pm-11pm Monday through Thursday and 11am-8pm on Sundays. During the summer, our hours tend to shift a bit earlier.
At our core, we believe that teaching is as much about forging strong relationships as it is about imparting knowledge. If you're a kid at heart and can connect with teenagers on their level, then this job might be for you.
Responsibilities
- Teaching all areas of the ACT and SAT to high school students in one-on-one and classroom environments
- Teaching mathematics (up through AP Calculus BC) to high school students
- Forging strong relationships with high school students
- Identifying and addressing student weaknesses
- Communicating with the other members of the team regarding student progress
About Us
We are extremely serious about being the best in the business at what we do. Nobody knows more about testing and academics. We forge strong relationships with our students and are renowned in the communities that we serve. We’re flexible, low-stress people with a growth mindset, who adapt to pressure and calmly solve problems when they arise.
In addition to tutoring, we have many other projects in the works – we integrate machine learning into our programs, write our own tests and manuals, provide online content, work in college admissions, etc. Teaching is just a starting point and, as the company continues to grow, we will be looking to place instructors into managerial positions.
