Private School Admissions Tutor SSAT & ISEE

Summit Boston is looking to add one or two SSAT/ISEE specialists to our ranks. Ideal candidates are only looking for 5-8 hours a week during the prep season and have strong experience working with lower-school-aged students (5th-8th grades) and have availability after school and weekends throughout the greater MetroWest area. Classroom experience is a plus!

Job Summary

Summit Educational Group is looking for caring, thoughtful educators to join our team as part-time, in-person tutors for SSAT and ISEE prep. At Summit, we calmly, caringly, and expertly guide students through the private school admissions testing process, helping them build confidence, reduce stress, and develop the skills they need to thrive in competitive academic environments.

This flexible, part-time role involves one-on-one instruction for the SSAT and/or ISEE, with tutoring beginning as early as summer and continuing through the winter testing season. Tutors have the freedom to set their own schedules and are matched with students based on mutual availability. You'll be supported every step of the way with expert training, a dedicated team, and Summit’s proprietary curriculum and materials.

Whether you’re an experienced tutor or just starting out, Summit offers the structure and resources to help you succeed. If you’re excited about making a meaningful impact during a critical academic milestone for families, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Guidewell Education brand, we’re guided by values that shape how we support students and work together as colleagues — we are student-centered, empathetic, expert practitioners, and growth-oriented. These principles show up in every coaching relationship we build and every decision we make. You can read more about how our team lives these values at guidewelleducation.com/about.
