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 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).
• We are seeking tutors for either the verbal sections (which include Critical Reading and Writing) or the Math section of the new SAT, but candidates with proficiency in ALL of the sections (with a 1450+ composite on the old SAT or 2150+ on the new SAT) are preferred and strongly encouraged to apply.

• Tutors will start at $18 per hour.
• Candidates should have at least 14-20 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 August after the paid training in April through July. The paid training is long and intensive and will require at least 14 hours per week, primarily on Saturday AND 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 April through July 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 start at $18.50 per hour.
• Tutors will probably start in June after the paid training.
• Good tutors will generally work about 8-16 hours per week.

Other requirements

• 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 (through July 2009) (although we would love to have a great tutor stay for years and grow with the company).

Other information

• 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.
• Bonuses and raises may be given for excellent results.
• Some travel may be necessary.
• Paid training.
