High School English / ELA & ACT/SAT Tutor

Scottsdale Education Center – Scottsdale, AZ

Independent Contractor | After-School/Evening Opportunities | $25–$35 per instructional hour DOE

Scottsdale Education Center is looking for an experienced, engaging English tutor to work with middle and high school students in both academic English/Language Arts and ACT/SAT test preparation.

This independent-contractor opportunity could be a great fit for a current or former English teacher, experienced tutor, retired educator, or education professional who enjoys working one-on-one or in very small groups with students.

Depending on your background and experience, tutoring opportunities may include:

• Middle and high school English/Language Arts
• Grammar and writing
• Reading comprehension and analysis
• Essay development and organization
• ACT English and Reading
• SAT Reading & Writing
• PSAT preparation
• AP Language and AP Literature support
• College and application essays

Previous ACT/SAT tutoring experience is a plus, but it is not required. Scottsdale Education Center provides access to our test-prep curriculum, materials, and resources to help qualified tutors become comfortable with our ACT/SAT programs.

Our ideal tutor:

• Has a bachelor's degree; English, Education, Journalism, Communications, or a related field is preferred
• Has experience teaching or tutoring middle and/or high school students
• Has an excellent command of grammar, writing, reading comprehension, and literary analysis
• Connects well with teenagers and can adapt instruction to different ability levels and learning styles
• Is dependable, professional, and encouraging
• Is interested in ACT/SAT test preparation and willing to become familiar with our curriculum and strategies
• Is interested in accepting consistent tutoring opportunities during our primary after-school and evening hours

Current teachers, former teachers, retired educators, graduate students, and experienced professional tutors are encouraged to apply.

Tutoring takes place in person at Scottsdale Education Center. Our highest student demand is generally during after-school and evening hours Monday through Thursday.

Tutors work with students individually or in very small groups, allowing for personalized instruction and meaningful relationships with students.

As an independent contractor, you can accept tutoring opportunities based on your availability and the needs of our students.

We handle much of what independent tutors normally have to manage themselves.

SEC provides:

• Access to students seeking tutoring
• Scheduling and administrative support
• A professional tutoring environment
• Curriculum and instructional resources
• ACT/SAT materials and resources
• Opportunities to work with students on an ongoing basis

That allows you to spend more of your time doing what you enjoy — teaching.
