In-Person Academic Mentor and Educator

Join Our Team as an Educator

Are you passionate about mentoring students and equipping them with essential skills? We invite dedicated educators to consider joining our team to provide personalized, high-impact instruction, both in one-on-one settings and classroom environments.

Position Overview

We are seeking enthusiastic educators willing to teach in-person at our Lincoln Park and Winnetka locations, as well as at our partner schools.

• Content Assessment: A content quiz, covering English and math, will be required as part of the interview process. This untimed quiz typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete.
• Training: Completion of our comprehensive training program is valued. The Gateway Training module, which includes both synchronous and asynchronous components, spans approximately 31 hours over 2-3 weeks, with a $500 stipend provided for participation.
