Description:
For well over 50 years, A-1 All Subjects At-Home Tutoring Service® has been one of the best and most professional tutoring services serving the Greater New York City area.

Currently, we’re actively seeking intelligent, mature, well-spoken, articulate and responsible people to fill positions in each of the following two areas:
1. Tutors – Individuals who present one-to-one, in-home lessons covering various academic subjects, grades, levels and tests and help students understand and master their course work.
2. Student Coordinators – Individuals who post flyers in stores to advertise our tutoring service, answer and take care of calls from people seeking academic help in response to those flyers and facilitate the successful hiring of a tutor.

1. Tutor Jobs

If you’re considering seeking a tutoring position with A-1 All Subjects At-Home Tutoring Service®, it’s essential you set aside a great deal of time needed to read this entire document slowly, seriously, carefully and completely. In the past, many prospective tutors who came across this ad skimmed through it, called us up and asked us what they had to do to become a tutor with us. This is very discouraging to hear when all the answers sought are already in this listing. The reason this text is so long and time-consuming is we tried very hard to make it complete and give you all the details you’d need to make an informed decision about working with us. So, we ask you to give this entire document a very serious reading and hope you’ll decide to tutor for us.

Since 1955, A-1 All Subjects At-Home Tutoring Service® has provided adult, experienced teachers for expert, one-to-one, home instruction. We help students, parents, educators and agencies overcome academic difficulties and excel in educational endeavors. Our teachers thoroughly test their students to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, identify deficiencies holding them back and learn exactly which topics need to be taught. They maintain very high standards of professionalism to maximize their effectiveness and help their students realize their full potential.

We seek teachers, tutors and other articulate, intelligent people to explain academic subjects and tests at all grades, levels and tests to elementary, high school, college and adult students. For the past 50 years, almost 90% of our tutoring requests have been for lessons in one or more of the following four subject areas:
1. Grammar school math (Grades 1 to 8)
2. High school math (especially Elementary Algebra (Grade 9) and, to a lesser extent, Plane Geometry (Grade 10) and Intermediate Algebra and Trigonometry (Grade 11)
3. Grammar school reading (Grades 1 to 8)
4. High school science (especially Chemistry and Physics).

Although most of our requests for tutoring are in these four subject areas, we do get some calls for other subjects. In math, we get calls for precalculus, calculus and statistics. In reading, we get calls for the Orton-Gillingham method. In foreign languages, we get calls for Spanish, French, Italian and Latin. Among standardized tests, we get calls for GED, SAT, GRE, LAST, LSAT and TOEFL. In the area of finance, we get calls for accounting, finance and economics. If you can effectively and articulately tutor any of these subjects (as well as others we did not mention), we may well be able to use your services.

As is true of almost every other tutoring service in the country, we always need more tutors to handle the ever increasing number of students seeking effective tutoring help. We intend to actively recruit suitable people during the rest of this year as well as during the next several years. We offer excellent pay and flexible hours for both full-time and part-time positions.

Our tutors earn between $20 and $45 per hour depending upon the student’s subject and location. For students who live in Brooklyn, Bronx, northern Manhattan (above 125th Street), Queens and Staten Island, tutors normally earn $30 per hour for regular students and between $20 and $30 per hour for students accepted into our sliding scale fee program. For students who live in the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, Midtown and Lower Manhattan, tutors normally earn $45 per hour for regular students and between $30 and $45 per hour for students accepted into our sliding scale fee program. For students who live in Long Island, Westchester and the lower Hudson valley, tutors normally earn $35 per hour for regular students and between $25 and $35 per hour for students accepted into our sliding scale fee program.

Yes, we DEFINITELY need and want tutors in ALL sections of Greater New York City (New York City, Long Island, Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley). No, teaching licenses or certificates are NOT required. Due to the incredible ongoing demand for tutoring help, we’ll CERTAINLY hire many additional adult, articulate people to augment our tutoring staff during the next several years.

You’ll now see our How To Become A Tutor with A-1 All Subjects At-Home Tutoring Service® web page. This page will tell you EVERYTHING about becoming one on our tutors. When you read this page, you’ll see there are six steps leading to becoming one of our tutors. Please read very carefully all six steps and all the links contained in them several times. After you've learned all about us, understand what’s involved in being a tutor with us and still want to be one of our tutors, go back to step five where you'll find the Greater New York City Tutor Application you need to complete. Fill it out, click the SEND button at the bottom of the page and we'll call you up within a few days to arrange the time and date of an intensive telephone interview with you. If we find both your application and your interview to be of sufficiently high quality, we’ll immediately start referring students to you. PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT THE APPLICATION UNTIL AFTER YOU’VE CAREFULLY READ STEPS ONE TO SIX OF THIS WEB PAGE SEVERAL TIMES.

It’s important to realize our application is quite long, involved and comprehensive. In it, you’ll need to tell us about your personal background, what subjects, grades and tests you can and wish to teach, the zip codes to which you’ll agree to go to give lessons, your educational background and your employment history. In addition, you’ll need to answer four very important essay type questions which are designed to see how well you know and understand our basic principals and how articulately you can explain them. Indeed, for every ten people who begin filling out the application, only one actually completes and submits it. And, for every three people who actually submit completed applications to us, only one actually succeeds in becoming a tutor. So, don’t begin the arduous application process unless you seriously want to become one of our tutors.

Our tutors are always free to simultaneously tutor for other services, work for other companies or take classes in school.

You may, if you wish, email us but don't forget to include your phone number in your message since we only respond to inquiries by telephone. Please DON’T include any attachments in your email; because of the acute threat of computer virus infections, we NEVER open and read them.

2. Student Coordinator Jobs

Student Coordinators are people who perform the following two tasks:
1) Post flyers advertising our tutoring service in neighborhood stores throughout the city.
2) Take care of calls from people seeking academic help from one of our tutors and facilitate the process of hiring a tutor to help overcome academic problems.

With regard to task 1, we need a person who’s healthy, articulate, well-spoken, intelligent, reliable, mature, fit and presentable to post flyers advertising our tutoring service in neighborhood stores throughout their home region. These 8.5”x11” flyers are to be posted from 9:00AM to 6:00PM Monday to Saturday during February-March and September-October each year. You can see copies of the flyers we use on our Link To Us web page.

With regard to task 2, the same person would spend one to five hours a day on the phone handling tutoring inquiries and helping people seeking lessons. This would be done at home from September 1 to June 30. To see how we sign up students for our tutors, please visit our Selling Students web page.

We’re looking for Student Coordinators in each of the following 22 regions: North Brooklyn, South Brooklyn, East Manhattan, West Manhattan, Northeast Queens, Northwest Queens, South Queens, Staten Island, East Bronx, West Bronx, North Nassau, South Nassau, East Suffolk, West Suffolk, Lower Westchester, Upper Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange, Ulster and Sullivan. We plan to employ a total of 22 Student Coordinators, one for each region indicated above.

We’ll give top priority to mature candidates who drive, are retired, can perform all three tasks and intend to work with us for several years. However, if we’re unable to find a suitable single candidate in a particular location, we may consider splitting up the job and hiring two people (i.e., a Flyer Distributor and a Lesson Sign-Up Specialist) instead of one to do the three tasks done by a Student Coordinator.

If you'd like to become the Student Coordinator for your home region, just visit our 11. Other Employment web page. Then, fill out the Other Employment application and click the SEND button at the bottom of the page when finished. A Form Confirmation Letter will appear within a few seconds to indicate successful transmission. We'll call you within a few days and tell you if we believe you’re suitable for the job. If you wish to speak with us about this position after you’ve THOROUGHLY and COMPLETELY read our Other Employment web page, you may call us at (866) 463-7386.
