What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Academic Coach position at Denver Test Prep?
As a Senior Academic Coach with Denver Test Prep, you’ll play a key role in helping students achieve life-changing growth - both in their academic coursework and on the tests that open doors to the schools they want to attend. Working primarily one-on-one with private clients, you’ll provide highly customized instruction that boosts confidence and helps students reach their long-term educational goals. In this role, you will support students to develop their executive functioning skills, improve their understanding of course content, and prepare for admissions exams.
You’ll spend most of your time meeting students in person (homes, offices, libraries), coaching students toward academic success, teaching strategy-driven content, tracking student progress, and communicating clearly with families and our team. Tutors at Denver Test Prep are valued professionals and are given autonomy to personalize their instruction while being supported by proven training and a strong team culture.
While the position offers schedule flexibility, expect to work Sunday through Thursday, with evenings as core hours. Working as a Senior Academic Coach at Denver Test Prep offers competitive pay, the opportunity to work with students across the Denver and Boulder metro areas, and the chance to make a lasting academic and personal impact.
This is a growth-track role. Senior Academic Coaches who deliver excellent results for private clients have a clear path toward career advancement at DTP.
HOURS & SCHEDULE
A significant portion of this role is dedicated to teaching and tutoring students outside of normal school hours. As a result, this role will require consistent availability Sunday through Thursday, with afternoons and evenings as core working hours. Expect significant driving across the Denver and Boulder metro areas to meet students at homes, offices, libraries, and other agreed-upon locations; candidates must have reliable transportation. DTP team members have flexibility during weekday school hours and use this time for a mix of remote work, meetings, and personal time.
Senior Academic Coaches should expect to work approximately 40-50 hours per week during the school year.
