Who? College Zoom is the #1 ranked college admissions counseling service in Los Angeles on Yelp. We help students uniquely develop compelling college applications that change the way that they see themselves and compel admissions officers to recognize their value. No admissions experience is necessary, we developed a unique practicum curriculum and can teach you our methodology.

What? We are looking for tutors who can assist college applicants one-on-one with their college essays or activity summaries. This entails helping students identify the best windows into their lives and assisting them in seeing new angles to those stories and experiences. Every meeting with a student feels like a heart-to-heart.

How? Tutoring sessions typically range from 45 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes at a time. You'll meet with clients virtually via Skype.

Compensation? During the 6-9 month training period, your pay progressively increases based on performance. Starting at $19/hour, you'll immediately jump to $24/hour when competently co-leading client meetings and advance to $30/hour when leading meetings solo. The flexible, rolling basis allows rapid compensation growth tied directly to your demonstrated skills, with potential earnings scaling up to $100/hour.

Hiring Timeline? We'll conduct interviews from February to the end of March. New hires will begin training by May. The first students come in June.

When? The admissions season spans June to January (7 months), peaking in November, with a shorter appeals and waitlist season from March to April (2 months). During these periods, we seek tutors who can maintain a flexible schedule to support student success. Ideally, tutors should be able to offer availability for potential sessions totaling around 15 hours per week, though actual paid hours may vary based on client bookings. We value the ability to accommodate student sessions every 3-4 days, as this helps maintain client satisfaction and progression. Compensation is based on actual tutoring time, not availability hours. Peak student demand occurs after 3 PM Pacific Time on weekdays and throughout weekends, so availability during these times is particularly beneficial.

Fun and Flexible! We have fun team dinners and bonding events throughout the year. We also treat a handful of families to dinner with their students to celebrate their successes. Our best tutors are ambitious people inspired and enriched by pursuits beyond college counseling. While with us, we'll invest in training you to adopt a multitude of transferrable hard and soft skills that will propel you in your other purposeful endeavors.

No Nightmare Students is Our Goal! College Zoom is fortunate enough to be in a position where we can (and do) politely decline to guide students who show signs of non-compliance, disrespect, and laziness. Hence, the students you'll be working with are genuinely motivated and eager to seek your advice.

Residency: College Zoom prefers to hire residents of California, Arizona, and Texas. Those are the states where we satisfy existing requirements for workers compensation coverage and state-specific payroll tax withholding processes. While we are open to considering residents of other states but still prefer employees in the Pacific, Mountain or Central Time Zones where most of our students are. All employees must be U.S. citizens.
