1. Tutor Jobs
Since 1965, A 1 Certified Tutoring Service® ( [please contact me for website address] has provided adult, experienced teachers for expert, one-to-one, home instruction. We help students, parents, educators and agencies overcome academic difficulties and excel in educational endeavors.

They maintain very high standards of professionalism to maximize their effectiveness and help their students realize their full potential.
We seek teachers, tutors and other articulate, intelligent people to explain academic subjects and tests at all grades, levels and tests to elementary, high school, college and adult students. For the past 40 years, almost 90% of our tutoring requests have been for lessons in one or more of the following four subject areas:
1. Grammar school math (Grades 1 to 8)
2. High school math (especially Elementary Algebra (Grade 9) and, to a lesser extent, Plane Geometry (Grade 10) and Intermediate Algebra and Trigonometry (Grade 11)
3. Grammar school reading (Grades 1 to 8)
4. High school science (especially Chemistry and Physics).

2. Student Coordinator Jobs
Student Coordinators are people who perform the following three tasks:
1. Post flyers advertising our tutoring service in neighborhood stores throughout the city,
2. Take care of calls from people seeking academic help from one of our tutors.
3. Simplify and facilitate the process of hiring a tutor to help overcome academic problems.
With regard to task 1, we need a person who’s healthy, articulate, well-spoken, intelligent, reliable, mature, fit and presentable to post flyers advertising our tutoring service in neighborhood stores throughout their home region. These 8.5”x11” flyers are to be posted from 9:00AM to 6:00PM Monday to Saturday during February-March and September-October each year. You can see copies of the flyers we use on our Link To Us ( [please contact me for website address] web page.
With regard to tasks 2 and 3, the same person would spend one to five hours a day on the phone handling tutoring inquiries and helping people seeking lessons. This would be done at home from September 1 to June 30.
We’re looking for Student Coordinators in each of the following 22 regions: North Brooklyn, South Brooklyn, East Manhattan, West Manhattan, Northeast Queens, Northwest Queens, South Queens, Staten Island, East Bronx, West Bronx, North Nassau, South Nassau, East Suffolk, West Suffolk, Lower Westchester, Upper Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange, Ulster and Sullivan. We plan to employ a total of 22 Student Coordinators, one for each region indicated above.
We’ll give top priority to mature candidates who drive, are retired, can perform all three tasks and intend to work with us for several years. However, if we’re unable to find a suitable single candidate in a particular location, we may consider splitting up the job and hiring two people (i.e., a Flyer Distributor and a Lesson Sign-Up Specialist) instead of one to do the three tasks done by a Student Coordinator.
