Regional Vice President of Educational Operations
Multi-Unit Tutoring Centers | Senior Leadership | Education + Operations + Growth
This is not an entry-level position.
We are seeking an experienced, highly driven Regional Vice President of Educational Operations to lead the performance, growth, educational quality, and day-to-day execution of a multi-unit tutoring organization.
This is an opportunity for a proven leader who understands that successful educational operations require more than managing people or reviewing reports.
You must be able to:
Understand the student.
Understand the parent.
Understand the educational program.
Understand the numbers.
Develop the team.
Solve problems.
Drive the business forward.
We are looking for someone who wants to lead from the front, not manage from the sidelines.
Why This Role Is Different
This is a senior leadership position with significant responsibility and autonomy.
One day you may be reviewing multi-unit KPIs and developing a revenue improvement plan.
The next you may be:
- Conducting an Initial Conference with a parent.
- Reviewing a student's academic evaluation.
- Evaluating an SAT or ACT student's score progression.
- Adjusting a tutoring program to address learning gaps.
- Coaching a Center Director.
- Interviewing a new team member.
- Solving a staffing or scheduling problem.
- Reviewing student retention.
- Addressing a family concern.
- Evaluating why a center missed enrollment goals.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable moving between executive strategy and hands-on execution.
The Person We Are Looking For
You are an experienced educational and operational leader who:
- Has already demonstrated measurable success.
- Learns quickly.
- Requires very little daily oversight.
- Takes ownership naturally.
- Is highly organized.
- Communicates exceptionally well.
- Is comfortable making decisions.
- Understands educational programming.
- Understands parents.
- Understands business.
- Understands accountability.
- Wants a long-term leadership opportunity.
You do not need someone constantly telling you what to do next.
You identify what needs attention, develop a solution, execute it, follow through, and communicate the outcome.
What You Will Own
Multi-Unit Center Performance
You will help drive the overall success of multiple tutoring centers, including:
- Revenue
- Enrollment
- Inquiry volume
- Academic Evaluation bookings
- Inquiry-to-Evaluation conversion
- Evaluation-to-enrollment conversion
- Student hours
- Average program size
- Student retention
- Length of stay
- Parent conference completion
- Educational progress
- Staffing
- Tutor utilization
- Labor efficiency
- Accounts receivable
- Parent satisfaction
- Center profitability
We are not looking for someone who simply reports that a KPI is down.
We expect you to determine:
Why is it down?
What caused it?
What are we changing?
Who is responsible?
When will it be completed?
Did the solution work?
Educational Program Leadership
The Regional Vice President must have significant experience with educational programs and understand how to manage students for meaningful academic growth.
You will oversee and evaluate programs including:
- Individualized tutoring
- Reading intervention
- Math intervention
- Subject tutoring
- Academic enrichment
- Study skills
- Academic evaluations
- Progress testing
- SAT preparation
- ACT preparation
- IEP accommodations
- Other Exam Prep programs
The goal is not simply to move students through curriculum.
The goal is to maximize student growth while ensuring underlying learning gaps are identified and corrected.
You should be comfortable reviewing:
- Academic evaluation results
- Learning gaps
- Student prescriptions
- Skills completed
- Skills remaining
- Progress-testing results
- Tutor feedback
- Homework completion
- Digital assignments
- Workbook progress
- Attendance
- Student engagement
- Parent feedback
- School performance
- Exam Prep progress
When a student's program is not producing the expected results, you must be capable of helping determine what needs to change and why.
SAT & ACT Expertise
Strong candidates will have direct experience with Exam Prep programming and a solid understanding of SAT and ACT preparation.
You should be comfortable discussing:
- SAT scoring
- ACT scoring
- Baseline scores
- Goal scores
- Point gains
- Score progression
- Math versus verbal performance
- Recommended instructional hours
- Practice testing
- Homework
- Digital practice
- Test-date timelines
- Student pacing
- Readiness for official testing
You should be able to review an Exam Prep student's performance and determine:
- Where the student started.
- Where the student is now.
- Where the student needs to improve.
- Whether the program is progressing appropriately.
- Whether the student is completing enough independent work.
- Whether instructional priorities should change.
- Whether the current testing timeline is realistic.
Most importantly, you must be able to explain this information clearly to a parent.
Parent Enrollment Conferences
This role requires someone who is exceptional with families.
You must be comfortable meeting directly with parents to review educational needs and recommend appropriate programming.
You may personally conduct Initial Conferences in which you:
- Review academic evaluation results.
- Explain student strengths.
- Identify learning gaps.
- Connect those gaps to current school performance.
- Recommend an appropriate educational solution.
- Explain program structure and expectations.
- Discuss program length.
- Address parent questions.
- Present tuition professionally.
- Build confidence in the recommendation.
- Ask the family to move forward with enrollment when appropriate.
We are looking for someone who can combine educational expertise with strong consultative communication.
Parent Progress & Interim Conferences
Your responsibility to the family does not end at enrollment.
You will conduct and support Parent and Interim Conferences to review:
- Student progress
- Skills mastered
- Remaining learning gaps
- Progress-testing results
- School performance
- Homework
- Attendance
- Student engagement
- Program pacing
- SAT or ACT score gains
- Future test dates
- Program adjustments
- Next academic goals
Parent conferences should be meaningful educational conversations—not simple administrative updates.
Family Documentation Matters
Excellent service requires excellent documentation.
The Regional Vice President will ensure that important family expectations and concerns are documented from the beginning of the relationship and throughout the student's program.
Documentation should capture:
- Why the family initially sought tutoring.
- Parent concerns.
- Student concerns.
- Academic priorities.
- Assessment findings.
- Parent expectations.
- Student goals.
- Exam Prep score goals.
- Target testing dates.
- Scheduling concerns.
- Questions raised by the family.
- Program recommendations.
- Commitments made to the family.
- Progress discussed during Interim Conferences.
- New concerns.
- Program adjustments.
- Agreed next steps.
At any point, an appropriate leader reviewing a student record should be able to understand:
Why did this family come to us?
What did they expect?
What have we accomplished?
What concerns remain?
What did we tell them?
What happens next?
Important family information should never exist only in someone's memory.
Recruiting & Talent Development
Great centers require great people.
You will help build and maintain a strong recruiting pipeline for:
- Tutors
- Exam Prep instructors
- Administrative employees
- Center leadership
- Future management talent
Responsibilities include:
- Recruiting proactively.
- Interviewing candidates.
- Evaluating talent.
- Developing managers.
- Coaching Center Directors.
- Addressing performance issues.
- Building succession plans.
- Identifying high-potential employees.
- Improving employee retention.
- Ensuring staffing capacity supports student demand.
We do not want centers waiting until they are short-staffed to begin recruiting.
Hands-On Leadership
This is not a desk-only executive role.
You must be willing to work directly inside the centers and understand what is actually happening operationally.
That may include:
- Supporting inquiry follow-up.
- Booking Academic Evaluations.
- Conducting parent conferences.
- Reviewing student schedules.
- Reviewing student programs.
- Troubleshooting tutor coverage.
- Addressing parent concerns.
- Reviewing accounts receivable.
- Interviewing employees.
- Training leaders.
- Reviewing center files and documentation.
- Helping solve unexpected operational problems.
There is no meaningful operational responsibility that is considered "beneath" this position when a student, family, employee, or center needs leadership.
Exceptional Communication Is Required
This role requires outstanding interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
You must be able to communicate confidently and professionally with:
- Parents
- Students
- Tutors
- Center Directors
- Administrative teams
- Ownership
- Prospective employees
- School personnel
- Community partners
You should be able to:
- Build trust quickly.
- Listen carefully.
- Explain complex information simply.
- Conduct difficult conversations professionally.
- Coach employees.
- Lead meetings.
- Present KPIs.
- Write clear and professional emails.
- Create action plans.
- Document parent concerns accurately.
- Present recommendations to ownership.
Strong communication is not a "nice to have."
It is a requirement for this position.
Independence & Accountability
We are looking for a leader who can become productive quickly.
The successful candidate must:
- Learn systems rapidly.
- Retain information.
- Ask thoughtful questions.
- Operate independently.
- Prioritize without constant direction.
- Follow through without repeated reminders.
- Make reasonable decisions.
- Know when an issue should be escalated.
- Manage multiple locations simultaneously.
- Maintain strong organization.
- Hold others accountable.
- Hold themselves accountable.
Ownership will establish organizational goals, priorities, and expectations.
We expect the Regional Vice President to independently drive much of the execution required to achieve them.
This Is a Long-Term Leadership Opportunity
We are looking for someone who wants to build something over time.
This is not intended to be a short-term position or temporary career stop.
We want a leader who is interested in spending the coming years helping us:
- Build stronger centers.
- Improve student outcomes.
- Develop exceptional leaders.
- Grow enrollment.
- Increase revenue.
- Improve profitability.
- Strengthen organizational systems.
- Improve the parent experience.
- Build an outstanding team.
- Expand the organization.
We want someone who becomes increasingly valuable to the organization as the organization grows.
Work Ethic & Executive Mindset
This is a results-oriented senior leadership position.
There will be times when a:
- Parent concern requires attention.
- Student program needs immediate intervention.
- Staffing situation must be resolved.
- Enrollment opportunity needs follow-up.
- Manager needs support.
- Important deadline must be met.
We expect our senior leadership team to remain engaged when those situations reasonably require additional attention.
This role is best suited for someone who focuses on achieving meaningful results rather than simply counting the hours worked.
At the same time, exceptional leaders build strong teams, delegate appropriately, create efficient systems, and develop managers capable of operating independently.
We are looking for hard work and smart leadership.

This Position Is Not for Everyone

- Your first management opportunity.
- Extensive day-to-day supervision.
- A traditional desk-only executive position.
- A narrowly defined set of responsibilities.
- A role where problems are simply forwarded to someone else.

This may be an excellent fit if you:

- Learn extremely quickly.
- Take ownership naturally.
- Love developing people.
- Understand education.
- Are excellent with parents.
