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 can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time. You'll meet with clients virtually.

Compensation? The base pay starts with a probationary training period at $19/hour pro rata while you learn the ropes (mostly offline work, mock sessions, and shadowing). You'll step up to $24/hr rate once you can competently co-lead live client meetings. The training process spans approximately 3 to 4 months. You'll graduate training at $30/hr with raise thresholds up to $100/hr.

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

When? The admissions season spans June to January (7 months), peaking in November. We also have a second, shorter season for appeals which lasts from March to April (2 months). During these periods, we need employees to be available for 10-20 hours regularly per week. Note: students seek meetings after school in the afternoons and evenings, and weekends.

Fun? We have fun team dinners and bonding events throughout the year. We also treat a handful of students to dinner with their families to celebrate their successes.

Scheduling is Flexible! We want tutors to enjoy the work they do with students and never feel overworked or overwhelmed by balancing College Zoom with other important obligations in their life. 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 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. However, in the post-COVID era we are now open to hiring residents of other states, but still prefer employees to be in the Pacific, Mountain or Central Time Zones. All employees must be U.S. citizens.
