Shape Minds, Build Futures

As a Success Coach, you’ll deliver engaging classroom tutoring to motivate students, collaborate with teachers to support learning goals, design interactive activities to reinforce concepts, and serve as a role model. The collaboration could look like a 1:1 intervention, small group intervention, or co-teaching alongside the teacher. The role involves an almost even blend of academic tutoring and mentorship.

Success Coaches must be enrolled in an accredited college/university with a minimum 2.75 GPA (3.0 for first-semester students). You should have competency in core high school subjects like Algebra, Geometry and English. Communication, leadership and adaptability skills are also key. Prior tutoring experience is helpful but not required.

Success Coaches must work a minimum of 12 hours a week and can work up to 29 hours a week. Schedules are customizable to accommodate college/university schedules.

Undergraduate Success Coaches start at $16.50/hour and graduate students start at $17.50/hour. This competitive rate recognizes your dedication. Opportunities for pay increases are available over time.

You can indicate your location preference during the training  process,  but specific school placements are determined by your availability and the needs of our schools.

Success Coaches participate in summer training as well as monthly professional development. You’ll work on a supportive team with other Coaches and a Faculty Teacher. Peer Power staff are also available to provide ongoing guidance.
