Job Description

Summit is looking to hire in-home, one-on-one, test prep tutors to service Fairfield County, CT (Greenwich, Stamford, CT, Darien, Westport, New Canaan, for example).  Applicants must have a bachelor's degree to be considered. As well as a willingness to tutor all sections of both the SAT and ACT - this, after comprehensive paid training, of course - but a baseline knowledge of high school ELA & math content is needed. Classroom instruction experience is a big plus!
