RESPONSIBILITIES & EXPECTATIONS

You will join our team on a part-time basis as an independent contractor, and work directly with our founder to learn how to effectively coach middle, high school and college students to help them learn to earn better grades with less stress.

As an Academic & ADHD coach, you will have an opportunity to make a positive difference in the day-to-day lives of students and their families by working 1:1 with teens and young adults and empowering them to reach their goals by improving their time management, organization, mindset, and study skills.

SOME EXAMPLES OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE…

• Meeting 1:1 with students for weekly coaching sessions, and collaborating with them to create systems + strategies that will help them reach their goals
• Identifying + planning the most important topics to cover in each session
• Writing & emailing session summaries to parents after meetings
• Checking in with students by text or email between sessions
• Meeting with parents for check-in calls to discuss students' progress
• Monitoring students' grades and online progress reports
• Reaching out to students' teachers, counselors, and/or tutors, as needed
• Attending regular team meetings & training sessions

There is a paid 3-4 week training period for all new coaches, during which you will work closely with our founder to learn the ins and outs of leading students through the coaching process.

After this initial training period, we will identify the days and times that will be ideal for your schedule, and begin matching you with students. We will gradually add students to your schedule over your first 2-3 months, so you have plenty of time to get comfortable with the coaching process and build strong relationships with each of your students and their families.

The starting rate for our new coaches is $35 - $40 / session.

Please note that if your primary goal for this position is to get a side job where you can quickly earn some extra money, we are NOT going to be the best fit for you. Learning to be a truly effective coach is a challenge, and requires far more practice and dedication than most other part-time jobs!  

However, if you are looking for a part-time position where you are constantly learning and growing both personally and professionally, with flexible hours and a close-knit group of positive, supportive colleagues, and a sense of purpose where the work you are doing every day is making a difference in peoples' lives, this will be the perfect opportunity for you!
