Job Description

In-Person Tutors (All Subjects, All Grade Levels)

About the Role:

SiSTEM is hiring experienced tutors to work in person with motivated students and families in the Pearland, Texas area.

This is not a volume tutoring gig. Our tutors work as trusted academic partners with families who value expertise, helping students build real understanding, stronger study strategies, and confidence in their coursework.

In-person availability is required. That can look like a lot of different things: sessions at a student's home, a public library, a community space, a coffee shop, a school, or your own location. If you can meet students face to face somewhere in the Pearland, Texas area, we want to hear from you.

What You Can Tutor:

If you can tutor any of the following, apply:

• Math: elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics.
• Science: elementary science, life science, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, anatomy and physiology.
• English and Language Arts: reading fluency and comprehension, grammar and mechanics, writing and composition, literature, essay and college application writing.
• Social Studies and History: world history, U.S. history, government, economics, geography.
• World Languages: Spanish, French, ASL, and others.
• Computer Science and Technology: intro programming, AP Computer Science, robotics, general tech skills.
• Advanced and Honors Coursework: Honors, Pre-AP, AP, IB, and dual credit college courses.
• Test Prep: SAT, ACT, PSAT, STAAR, TSI, ISEE, SSAT, GED, AP exams.
• Study Skills and Executive Function: organization, time management, note-taking, test-taking strategy, homework routines.
• You do not need to tutor every subject or every grade level. If you specialize in elementary reading only, or AP Chemistry only, or anything in between, we want you on our team.
  

About SiSTEM:

SiSTEM is an academic guidance platform that builds personalized roadmaps for students in grades K-12. Every student on SiSTEM has a plan. Tutors are a key part of that plan and are matched to students based on specific needs, not random availability.

We started as a tutoring agency in Texas, grew to 300+ tutors serving 10,000+ students, and are now launching a platform that gives educators better tools, better-matched students, and the ability to build a real client base.

What You'll Do:

• Work one-on-one and in person with students in grades K-12 in your subject areas.
• Help students develop deeper conceptual understanding, not just finish homework.
• Build the study habits, problem-solving strategies, and confidence that carry across subjects.
• Identify and close gaps in foundational skills that are holding students back.
• Align your sessions with each student's broader academic roadmap through SiSTEM's planning tools.
• Communicate with families on progress and strategy when appropriate.
• Maintain high standards of preparation and professionalism.

What We're Looking For:

We are selective about who joins the SiSTEM team.

Strong candidates typically have:

• 3+ years of teaching, tutoring, or academic mentoring experience.
• Deep expertise in at least one subject and grade band listed above.
• Reliable transportation and the ability to meet students in person in the [CITY/REGION] area.
• Experience working with motivated students in honors, Pre-AP, AP, IB, gifted, dual credit, or test prep settings.
• A track record of helping students improve grades, build confidence, or master concepts they previously struggled with.
• Clear, patient communication and the ability to make a subject click for students who think they are "not a math person" or "not a writer".
• Professional reliability.

Applicants must have completed high school. Current high school students are not eligible.

Bonus: current or former classroom teachers, professionals who tutor in their field, educators with degrees in their subject area, and tutors with experience across multiple grade bands.
