We’re not a multinational “ed‑tech” conglomerate; we’re a team of former teachers, curriculum designers, and a few software‑savvy educators who decided that the pandemic forced us to rethink how tutoring works.Our headquarters sit in a modest office in Dearborn, Michigan, but 95 % of our instructional staff works from home, connecting with learners across the U.S. through video, chat, and collaborative whiteboards. In the last fiscal year we helped 12,200 students improve grades by an average of 1.4 GPA points, and we’ve just secured a partnership with a regional school district in Dearborn, Michigan that will double our enrollment over the next 12 months. That’s why we’re looking for an experienced online tutor to join our remote classroom team right now.--- ### Why this role exists now Two things changed in the past year: 1. Demand spikes –The new district contract means we’ll be onboarding 1,800 new tutoring slots for middle‑school math and high‑school science by early 2025. 2.
