Application question(s):

We have offices in Richmond and Vancouver. Which location do you prefer, and would you be comfortable working from either if needed? Are you currently located in British Columbia, legally authorized to work in Canada, and able to start as soon as a position is offered? Please provide the best phone number and email address to reach you at to ensure timely communication. Please provide details of your education. Include the name of your high school and any post-secondary education, specifying the degree, field of study, and institution. What prompted you to look for a new opportunity, and what were you hoping to find that wasn't available in your last role? If you have experience coaching students for AP exams or academic contests, please describe the results achieved (e.g., AP exam scores, contest levels reached, rankings, or awards). What is your level of fluency in English? Please indicate whether you are a Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Native speaker. If you speak additional languages, you may also list them with your level of fluency. Please list the mathematics and computer science subjects, grade levels, standardized exams, and academic contests you can teach or coach confidently without preparation. Students may ask spontaneous questions, so include only areas in which you have strong mastery and can respond clearly and accurately in real time. Examples include K-12 Mathematics, AP Calculus AB/BC, IB Mathematics (SL & HL), math contests, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, IB Computer Science (SL & HL), and computer science contests. Please list any additional subjects, grade levels, or standardized tests you could teach if given preparation time. Please describe your general availability on weekdays and weekends.

Please ensure the times you provide are times when you will be fully free, as we will call you directly at one of your suggested times. We will send you a notification email beforehand, but please be prepared to take the call at the time listed (for example: January 12 at 2:30 PM). Please indicate your preferred type of employment (e.g., full-time or part-time) and your preferred hourly rate for this role; experience with SAT or AP tutoring may qualify you for a higher rate.
