What are the responsibilities and job description for the Academic Instructor (Part Time) position at Flex College Prep?
About the Employer Founded in 2001, FLEX has guided middle and high schoolers through their college prep journeys. From learners to impacters, FLEX is helping students unlock their potential and make positive changes in their communities. Job Summary FLEX College Prep is seeking dynamic individuals with strong communication skills to join our pool of instructors and teach middle and high school students.

Instructors are hired into our tutoring pool and will be scheduled for classes, tutorials, and private tutoring based on availability and subjects they are able to teach. Since many tutoring assignments are short-term, academic instructors will be hired as temporary employees with a 6-month review for regular part-time employment. Teaching experience in these subjects is preferred, but for those of you who are new to our industry, training is provided!
What you’ll do:
- Academic Instructors assist students individually and in small groups with academic coursework, standardized test prep, and enrichment courses.

And they maintain comprehensive reports of sessions to track progress and adapt to students’ needs. Most importantly, they help students achieve their academic goals while making the experience as positive as possible.

- Ability to work at multiple locations
What we’re excited to give you:
