Test Prep Tutor/Teacher - Summit Educational Group

Summit is looking to hire test prep tutors for in-home, one-on-one, and in-school group classes to serve Hartford and New Haven counties.

Overview

Founded in 1988, our team of experts has calmly, caringly, and expertly guided thousands of families through the process of preparing their students to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners. Today, Summit Education Group is part of Guidewell Education, a newly-formed, mission-driven company representing a range of successful legacy brands in the education space. Our family of brands includes Applerouth Education, ESM Prep, UES, and Launch Precollege Labs. Together, Summit and these brands provide a full suite of services, including academic tutoring, college counseling, executive function coaching, and test preparation to students across the world.
