Academic Tutor

We started in 1998 building safety training for a single manufacturer. Our designers write, storyboard, build and test their own courses.

The role

The Academic Tutor meets with the same students each week and sends a short progress note to parents after each session. The company is based in Miami, the US. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in India, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.
