GMAT, GRE, and EA Tutoring Jobs
We’re hiring tutors for the GMAT, GRE, and Executive Assessment. Tutoring at Atlantic is demanding but flexible and well paid. The application is at the bottom of the page.
About Atlantic
Atlantic GMAT provides private tutoring for the GMAT, GRE, and Executive Assessment. We have a thoughtful, refined curriculum built on two decades of tutoring experience and a large library of in-house study materials. We also publish a GMAT blog and a YouTube channel.
Tutoring at Atlantic
Our program is highly organized and structured, but not cookie-cutter. We’ll support you with a strong curriculum and materials and train you to think in a way that sparks learning and, eventually, success for you and your students.
The work is challenging in a good way. We have high expectations of ourselves and of our clients, and we take a team approach: we plan and troubleshoot every preparation as a group. We are always refining the method and hope you’ll be part of that.
Compensation with room to grow
Teachers in training are paid $80/hour for tutoring hours. Once fully trained, we aim for $140/hour, with yearly reviews and potential increases. Initial training takes 6 to 8 weeks; reaching full compensation takes about a year. You may move faster, but plan for a year.
Flexible
Almost all tutoring is done online, so as long as you have a quiet environment and a solid internet connection you’re set. There are no geographic requirements.
For the first couple of years we ask for a minimum of 12 teaching hours per week. You won’t be booked for 12 hours a week at the start, but we want you to have the bandwidth to approach the tutoring in the high-quality way that leads to results.
The standard workday has become more flexible, but expect to need some weeknight and weekend availability, since most of our students are working professionals on a 9-to-5 schedule.
More than tutoring
This is a small, growing company and we’d like you to be involved beyond teaching: curriculum development, writing explanations and articles, teacher training, forum posting, video, and launching new areas such as admissions consulting or other tests.
Application requirements
Demonstrated ability in teaching. To be a great tutor you need solid teaching skills. We’ll sharpen them during training, but the fundamentals must be in place. The experience doesn’t have to be in test preparation. If you have no formal teaching experience, explain why you’d still be a strong candidate.
Standardized testing skills. Ideally you’ve already scored in the 99th percentile, or close to it, on the GMAT, GRE, or Executive Assessment. To interview, we’ll consider any stellar test scores or a compelling case for why you’d be a great fit. To start teaching, you’ll need a 99th-percentile GMAT score or GRE equivalent. We expect teachers to eventually teach all three MBA exams and strongly encourage taking them regularly to stay sharp.
Superb verbal reasoning and writing. Quant wizard? Great, as long as your verbal is exceptional too. We’re generally not looking for quant-only experts. There are many opportunities to write explanations, blog posts, and articles, so strong writing is a major plus.
12 teaching hours per week, long term. We’re looking for people who want an excellent part-time job for the long haul; think three years minimum. If you want a short-term or in-between gig, this isn’t it. While you’re new to the system there is more admin time than usual, so plan for about 18 hours a week total for the first two years: up to 12 hours of teaching plus around 6 hours of student communication, homework organization, and lesson prep. After two years there is no minimum and you can teach as much or as little as makes sense. The initial requirement exists because you need the hours to build the experience that makes a great teacher.
