GSP interviewing for new tutors for 2012

We are about to finish our best fiscal year ever here at Get Smarter Prep and we are expanding. We are doubling our square footage and adding more classrooms and as a result, need more teachers apart from the 12 we already have who make anywhere between $40-$80/hour.

We do SAT and ACT prep. You already know that. But we are also adding classes for 7-10th graders for study skills, as well as adding career exploration clinics to our college counseling product. We need smart, funny people to help us grow! We offer both classroom and private, one-on-one, instruction depending upon the student's needs. For every class you take on, you'll be working 2 hrs/wk teaching. This means that your schedule varies depending on the volume of clients we have. Typically, we are busy all the time as students tend to flood in according to the official ACT/SAT testing schedules. Those tests are given 7 times a year, so we are busy a lot :-) 

The pay is $8/hour for training, which will be anywhere from 20-30 hours over a 5-week period. Then, once you are hired you will teach your first two full courses for $10/hour. During that time you will be evaluated on your classroom performance to see if you match our standards. After that, classroom hours are $25/hour and private tutoring starts at $40/hour, with pay increase opportunities depending upon performance. 

The interview process starts with auditions running from now until January 5th. If you are invited back after auditioning, training will be held for 5 consecutive weekends starting January 15th. Detailed schedules will be given out at auditions. At the auditions we ask that you prepare a 5 minute lesson on any topic in which you think you are an expert. We've been taught everything from how to make balloon animals to what to do if you encounter a bear in the wild to how to identify a true Wisconsin Cheese Head. Be creative and be yourself! We are looking to see how well you do presenting information in front of others. Note: this exercise is not in any way intended to be taken too seriously. Please bring enough supplies for 3 students if applicable. If all of this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please email rae at getsmarterprep dot com with your resume and she will give you the details on when and where we'll be holding auditions. 

It's a great long-term part-time position. We are not looking for seasonal or short-timers. The money is good, but the opportunity to significantly affect your students' college choices will be a reward you simply can't get at other jobs.
