Overview
Thank you for your interest in working with us! At Academic Approach, we value the worth of learning for all individuals, and we work to rethink and reshape the role of standardized testing in a student’s education journey.

Why Academic Approach?
Standardized tests are a rite of passage for many middle school and high school students. At Academic Approach, we view these tests as teachable moments: opportunities to mentor students when they are most in need of supportive coaching and intelligent instruction.
Our team members value the learning experience of both the students and the professionals in our organization, and we recognize that we can learn an incredible amount from the people that surround us. Our people are our biggest asset, and we constantly look for ways to build community in the workplace. You can find examples of this community building in our monthly events from team outings to a holiday party complete with karaoke.
Whether you are applying for a tutor or instructor role, or to become a member of our administrative staff, we look forward to what you can bring to our organization.
