• Up to three weekly SHSAT classes: $80 per hour
• Fourth, fifth and sixth concurrent weekly SHSAT classes: $90 per hour
• Seventh and all subsequent concurrent weekly SHSAT classes: $100 per hour

Our most prolific teachers have taught up to 9 cohorts per week, for a total of over $40,000 from September - June! (Please note that a portion of the above-listed comp is tied to a completion bonus at the end of each semester.)

Quality materials and support: work with the most reputable enrichment program in Manhattan. You'll have support staff like Teaching Assistants and Operations Associates to help you with the program.

Plus: work as many hours as you want! You are welcome to contract for as many or as few engagements as you'd like.
