Tutors work from home with the ability to earn competitive pay, benefits (including health insurance, life insurance, and 401K), and quarterly bonuses.

About the Role

The Professional Tutor role is made up of the following responsibilities for the approximate percent of a tutor’s work schedule:

  • Previous teaching experience – particularly with students between 3rd and 10th grade
  • Expertise in STEM and/or AP academic subjects (AP Physics, AP Computer Science, AP Statistics, AP Calculus, and AP Chemistry) and foreign languages. If you can tutor these subjects, you may be eligible for a higher starting rate.
  • A commitment to customer service
  • A desire for ongoing professional growth
  • A "growth mindset" (unafraid of challenges; adaptable to change; willingness to learn)

Professional Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree welcomed
  • Experience teaching or tutoring desired but not required
  • Ability to comfortably provide academic support to students in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra II. Candidates will take a short assessment representing content from the entirety of geometry and algebra 2 prior to receiving an offer of employment.

  • Ability to teach consecutive online tutoring sessions while sitting or standing for extended periods of time, five to six days per week
  • Ability to work during peak tutoring hours. Please refer to Prime Time hours listed below.
  • This specific position requires availability Monday through Thursday evenings from 2:15-4:30 p.m. PST during the school year
  • Ability to work on at least one week-end day (all full-time Revolution Prep online professional tutors are required to be available for at least 8 hours’ worth of tutoring on Saturdays or Sundays within our prime-time hours)
  • Ability to commit to employment and schedule requirements for at least one calendar year from start date
  • Authorized to work in the United States (current residence must also be in the US)

Schedule Requirements

All faculty members are required to post at least 8 hours of availability within prime-time hours on Saturdays or Sundays during the school year; it is recommended that tutors provide some weekend availability over the summer. Weekly availability should be consistent for several months into the future.

School-Year Prime-Time Hours (mid-August through mid-June):

  • Sundays: 5 AM-7 PM PST
  • Mondays-Thursdays: 12 PM-8 PM PST
  • Fridays: 12 PM-4 PM PST
  • Saturdays: 5 AM-4 PM PST

  • Sundays: 5 AM-7 PM PDT
  • Mondays-Thursdays: 6 AM-8 PM PDT
  • Fridays: 5 AM-4 PM PDT
  • Saturdays: 5 AM-7 PM PDT

Tutors choose a delivery target between 16 and 40 hours per week and post recommended availability in order to reach their target. Benefits (including a salaried option after a positive six-month performance review) are available for tutors with a delivery target of 28 hours per week or higher. The number of hours of availability posted does not necessarily equate to the actual number of paid hours worked but improves your ability to receive new student assignments. Actual hours worked are highly dependent on tutor's proactivity with families, individual subject coverage, quality of instruction, and tutor-selected availability. Hours also fluctuate based on sales volume and seasonality. The bulk of our tutors work anywhere from 20-35+ per week.
