Full Job Description

College Counseling Associate & Academic Tutor

Help students navigate high school, discover the right colleges, and tell their story.

AJ Tutoring is an established Bay Area education company that has supported students and families for more than 20 years. We are looking for a thoughtful, organized, and engaging educator to join our growing College Counseling team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves working with teenagers and is interested in building a career in college counseling. You do not need to come to us as an experienced college counselor. We are looking for someone with strong communication and writing skills, excellent judgment, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with students and families.

We provide training, mentorship, and ongoing support as you develop your college counseling expertise.

This is a unique hybrid role combining college counseling and academic tutoring. You will work closely with high school students over time—helping them succeed academically while gradually taking on greater responsibility for guiding students through the college admissions process.

What You'll Do

College Counseling

Build strong, supportive relationships with high school students and their families
Help students explore their interests, goals, and potential college options
Guide students through college research and the development of a thoughtful, balanced college list
Coach students through brainstorming, drafting, and revising college essays
Help students organize and complete applications accurately and on time
Manage deadlines and keep students moving forward throughout a multi-step application process
Communicate regularly with parents about progress, priorities, and next steps
Collaborate with experienced AJ college counselors who provide guidance, feedback, and additional perspective on student applications

Academic Tutoring

Tutor students one-on-one in at least one high school academic subject
Help students build confidence, independence, and stronger study habits
Develop long-term relationships with students and families
Work primarily during after-school, evening, and weekend hours

Who We're Looking For

You may be a teacher, tutor, academic advisor, writing coach, recent graduate, or other education professional interested in developing expertise in college counseling.

Strong candidates will have:

A bachelor's degree
Experience working directly with middle school, high school, or college-age students
Strong writing, editing, and communication skills
Teaching competency in at least one high school academic subject
Exceptional organization and attention to detail
The ability to manage multiple students, projects, and deadlines simultaneously
Warmth and confidence communicating with both teenagers and parents
Intellectual curiosity and an interest in learning the college admissions landscape
A collaborative mindset and openness to feedback and professional development
Availability during after-school, evening, and some weekend hours

Prior college admissions experience is welcome but not required.

Why AJ Tutoring?

College counseling can be difficult to learn on your own. At AJ, you will be part of an experienced team rather than operating as an individual practitioner.

Our counselors collaborate regularly to review college lists, essays, application strategy, and completed applications. You'll receive training, mentorship, and ongoing feedback while developing the judgment and expertise needed to become an excellent college counselor.

Because AJ also provides academic tutoring, our counselors have the opportunity to understand students beyond their applications—their learning styles, academic strengths, challenges, interests, and goals.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with students during one of the most important transitions of their lives, helping them stay organized, discover what they want, and find colleges where they can thrive.

Compensation: $70,000–$90,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications.
