Looking for a GREAT part-time (or even full-time!) job?  Earn $18+ an hour tutoring for the SAT or MCAT!

 

Infiniva, a leading test preparation and academic subject tutoring firm (and the leading and a rapidly expanding SAT private tutoring company in the area) based in Buffalo, NY, is seeking dynamic individuals with very high scores on the SAT or MCAT who are looking for flexible, rewarding part-time (or even full-time!) work to serve as test preparation tutors in the summer and beyond.

SAT

• Qualified candidates will have achieved a 720+ on EITHER the Verbal/Critical Reading section (660+ for pre-1995 scores) OR the Math section of the SAT.

• Verbal tutors should also have excellent grammar and writing skills (which may be demonstrated by a 720+ on the SAT II: Writing or new SAT Writing section [660+ for pre-1995 scores]).

• Candidates with proficiency in ALL of the sections (with a 1450+ composite on the old SAT [1390+ for pre-1995 scores] or 2150+ on the new SAT) are preferred and strongly encouraged to apply.
• Candidates should have at least 18-22 hours free to tutor per week, including at least two or three weekdays after 3:30 pm and some time on the weekends.
• Tutors will start in about July 2009 after the paid training in mid-March through June. The paid training will require at least 16 hours per week (for candidates doing all sections) OR at least 8 hours per week (for candidates doing only verbal or Math), primarily on Saturday and/or Sunday (about 6-8 hours per day) and possibly on one or two weeknights per week (2 to 4 hours per night). Candidates MUST be able to attend the entire training in mid-March through June (i.e., no extended vacations during that time) in order to be certified and work as tutors.
• Good tutors will generally work about 15-30+ hours per week.

MCAT

• Qualified candidates will have achieved at least a 12-13 on the Physical Sciences section (which involves physics and chemistry) or the Biological Sciences section (which involves biology and organic chemistry) OR a 13+ on the Verbal Reasoning section (or be able to demonstrate such a score on a diagnostic exam).
• Medical or graduate students are preferred.
• Candidates should have at least 10-12 hours free to tutor per week.
• Tutors will probably start soon after the paid training.
• Good tutors will generally work about 8-16 hours per week.

• Ideal candidates will have good communication and interpersonal skills, a gregarious and caring manner, and an affinity to teaching/tutoring.
• Prior tutoring experience is preferred but not required.
• Candidates with access to reliable transportation strongly preferred.
• Candidates must be reliable and responsible and MUST be able to commit to tutor for at least a year (although we would love to have a great tutor stay for years and grow with the company).

Other information

• Tutors will start at $18 per hour.

• Hours will vary, depending on demand and seasonal variations. Students prepare for the SAT and we are busy year-round, although the months of June and December are traditionally less busy months.
• Full-time positions with benefits available.

• SAT tutors may eventually be trained for other exams, such as LSAT, GRE, MCAT, etc.
• Bonuses and raises may be given for excellent results.
• Some travel may be necessary.
• Paid training.
• Set your own hours and locations.
• Benefits including health insurance and course discounts available.
