Description

Teacher Tutors is hiring a part-time Calculus Tutor to join our team on a flexible basis. This role is ideal for tutors with strong mathematics backgrounds who want to work one-on-one with motivated students. Supporting high schoolers in precalculus, honors and AP Calculus (AB and BC), and college students working through Calculus I, II, and III.

You'll work with students across a range of levels and goals: precalculus, regular and honors high school calculus, AP Calculus AB and BC, and college calculus through the multivariable sequence. Sessions take place in students' homes or at our Livingston, NJ office. This is an in-person role, not an online-only position. We do our best to match families to tutors based on your preferred travel radius. You tell us how far you're willing to drive, and we work within that.

Responsibilities

• Deliver one-on-one tutoring sessions tailored to each student's course, instructor's expectations, and learning goals.
• Plan lessons and prepare materials (problem sets, derivative and integral practice, AP-style FRQs and multiple choice, calculator and non-calculator drills, and structured exam-prep schedules as test dates approach).
• Build students' fluency with core calculus skills (limits and continuity, derivatives and their applications, integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, differential equations, and for BC students sequences and series and parametric, polar, and vector functions) and their ability to move between graphical, numerical, analytical, and verbal representations of the same concept.
• Track progress across sessions and adjust pacing, materials, and difficulty based on what's working.
• Submit a short session note after each tutoring session and flag concerns to our Director early.
• Communicate clearly and warmly with parents.
• Contribute to our team's shared practice: share what's working, ask questions, and help us keep raising the bar.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mathematics or Mathematics Education (Applied Mathematics also qualifies). Master's or PhD candidates are welcome.
• Demonstrated mastery of single-variable calculus at the AP and college introductory level, with the ability to scale up to multivariable calculus.
• Tutoring, TA, or classroom teaching experience (formal or informal) with high school or college students.
• Working familiarity with the current AP Calculus AB and BC course framework, including how FRQs and MCQs are scored, the calculator and non-calculator sections, and the common traps students fall into.
• Strong communication skills and the patience to work with students who may arrive frustrated, anxious, or burned out after a rough exam.
• Ability to plan individualized sessions and adapt in real time when a planned approach isn't landing, including explaining the same concept in multiple ways until it clicks.
• Availability for afternoon, evening, or weekend hours during the school year, with extra capacity around AP exam season (April–May) and college finals.
• Comfort with educational technology.
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license for in-home sessions.

Preferred

• Experience tutoring AP Calculus with students consistently scoring 4s and 5s
• Strength with BC-specific topics (sequences and series, parametric, polar, and vector functions) and the ability to support students moving from AB to BC
• Experience supporting college Calculus I, II, and III for STEM and pre-med track students, including multivariable calculus
• Ability to diagnose and close the precalculus and algebra gaps that most often hold calculus students back
• Bilingual (Spanish, Mandarin, or other languages common in the communities we serve)

Benefits

Compensation & employment status

• Pay range: $40–$50/hour, based on degree and experience
• W-2 (default): Most part-time tutors join as W-2 employees. Teacher Tutors handles payroll, taxes, and provides liability coverage during sessions.
• 1099 (optional): Tutors who prefer 1099 contractor status are welcome, provided they carry their own professional liability insurance and operate through a registered LLC. Documentation will be requested during onboarding.

Coverage area

We serve families across northern New Jersey, with most in-home sessions concentrated in Essex, Morris, Union, and Bergen counties. When you join, you'll let us know your preferred travel radius from home, and we'll match you with students within that range.
