Math Tutor
Pollak Tutors | New Providence, NJ | Part-time
About Pollak Tutors
Pollak Tutors has been helping middle and high school students succeed academically for over a decade. We're a small, professional practice built on a simple belief: every student is capable of doing the work, and our job is to help them believe that. Our office is calm, professional, and kinda fun, a place students actually want to come.
How We Work
We use a Socratic approach: the student does most of the talking, and we teach through guided questions until they figure something out for themselves. When a student gets something wrong, we say so — and use that moment to build deeper understanding. Our best tutors are direct without being discouraging, and hold a high standard while making a student feel capable of meeting it.
About This Role
Math Tutors work 1:1 with students to support their coursework, from Algebra I through Precalculus and Calculus, including AP and honors. Sessions are individualized, in person and online, on evenings and weekends during the school year. We give tutors wide latitude to diagnose where a student is stuck and build the right plan to fix it. Expect to spend part of your time keeping parents apprised of progress.
Compensation is competitive and hourly, with a flexible schedule that can grow with you.
What We're Looking For
- Deep command of high school math through Calculus, including AP-level material
- Reliability: punctuality, responsiveness, and follow-through
- Experience working with teenagers — tutoring, teaching, or coaching
- The ability to diagnose weak spots quickly and remedy them efficiently
- Strong communication with students and parents, and the ability to make hard concepts understandable
- Comfort delivering direct feedback with care
- Availability to meet in person in New Providence, NJ (online also available)
- SAT/ACT math experience a plus
