Job description
- Texas Sports Academy is hiring an expert SAT Tutor to lead test preparation for our student-athletes.
- This is a senior role with full ownership of the SAT preparation arc — diagnostic through test day — for a roster of motivated students preparing for competitive college admissions.
- The position is fully remote, which allows us to recruit the most accomplished tutors in the country regardless of geography.
- We are seeking a practitioner with a defined methodology, a current command of the digital SAT, and a verifiable record of producing significant, repeatable score gains.
- The selection criteria are weighted toward demonstrated student outcomes rather than tenure or institutional affiliation.
- What You'll Do One-on-One and Small-Group Instruction: Conduct remote SAT sessions across all sections of the digital SAT — Reading and Writing, Math (Module 1), and Math (Module 2) — designed to produce measurable progression each week.
- Diagnostic-Driven Planning: Administer a full-length diagnostic test for every new student and build a week-by-week preparation plan tied to a target score and target test date.
- Integrated Content and Strategy Instruction: Teach content mastery and test strategy in parallel each session, including algebra, advanced mathematics, evidence-based reading, grammar and conventions, pacing, elimination logic, and College Board question patterns.
- Targeted Homework and Review: Assign and review focused homework between sessions, including section drills, problem sets, and timed full-length practice tests, and adjust the plan based on performance.
- Parent Reporting: Maintain a regular reporting cadence with parents that includes section-level data, score progression, areas of focus, and recommended next steps.
- Test-Week Strategy: Lead final-week preparation, including pacing strategy, anxiety management, and the test-day routine.
- Proven Expertise: A defined tutoring methodology developed over substantial experience with the SAT, with the ability to walk through specific student arcs and articulate how preparation decisions were made.
- Demonstrated Score Lift: A verifiable record of significant, repeatable score gains — the kind of progression that meaningfully expands a student's college options.
- Candidates should be prepared to discuss documented before-and-after results in detail.
- Instruction-Led Methodology: Score progression driven by direct teaching and live diagnosis rather than self-directed workbook completion.
- Homework supports instruction; it does not replace it.
- Deep Command of the Digital SAT: Working expertise in the current digital SAT, including the Bluebook environment, adaptive module mechanics, the scoring algorithm, and recurring College Board question patterns.
- Continued investment in staying current as the test evolves.
- Personal Test Mastery: Personal SAT score of 1500 or above, or 99th-percentile equivalent on the ACT or legacy SAT, with verification available.
- Remote-Ready Setup: Dedicated workspace, reliable internet connection, second monitor, and a document camera or tablet for live problem-solving on screen.
