High School Science Tutor Part-Time (AP & College-Prep Subjects)

Teacher Tutors is hiring high school teachers to join our team as part-time tutors, working one-on-one with students in grades 9 through 12. We're specifically looking for teachers with classroom experience in AP and college-prep (CP) level courses — the people who've actually taught the curriculum, graded the FRQs, and seen what trips students up year after year.

This is the work where teaching experience matters most. A high school junior preparing for the AP Calculus BC exam doesn't need a college student who got a 5 four years ago. They need someone who has stood in front of a classroom of twenty AP students, watched where the wheels come off, and knows the three or four conceptual moves that unstick most kids. That's the bar.

You'll meet with students in their homes, online, or at our Livingston, NJ office. We match families to tutors based on your preferred travel radius — you tell us how far you're willing to drive, and we work within that.

Subjects in demand

We have ongoing demand across the AP and CP catalog. The highest-volume requests are typically:

Math: Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (AB and BC), Statistics (AP and CP)

Science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics (1, 2, and C), Environmental Science

English: AP Language, AP Literature, college essay coaching

Social Studies: US History (APUSH), World History, Government, Psychology

Test prep: SAT, ACT, and AP exam preparation

You don't need to cover all of these — most of our tutors specialize in one or two subjects they know deeply.

Responsibilities

Deliver one-on-one tutoring sessions in your area(s) of expertise, calibrated to the specific course the student is taking and the specific teacher they're taking it with.

Diagnose where the student actually is — not where the grade or the parent says they are — and build sessions around closing the gap.

Prepare students for in-class assessments, AP exams, and standardized tests, with a clear sense of what each one actually measures and how to study for it.

Coordinate with parents on goals and progress, and with classroom teachers when invited, so tutoring reinforces what's happening at school.

Track progress across sessions and adjust pacing, materials, and strategies based on what's working.

Submit a short session note after each tutoring session so families and our Director know what was covered and what's next.

Coverage area

We serve families across northern New Jersey, with most in-home sessions concentrated in Essex, Morris, Union, and Bergen counties. When you join, you'll let us know your preferred travel radius from home, and we'll match you with students within that range. Online sessions are available statewide.
