About Learner Education

Learner Education is on a mission to empower students by helping them reach their full academic potential through personalized support. We believe that building confidence and providing the right guidance at the right time can transform a student’s future.

As we expand our college admissions offerings, we are seeking experienced College Admissions Coaches to guide students through one of the most important and personal stages of their academic journey.

Role Overview

As a College Admissions Coach, you will work one on one with high school students to guide them through the full college application process, with a strong focus on personal statement and supplemental essay development.

This role goes beyond editing. You will help students discover their voice, reflect on their experiences, and craft authentic, compelling narratives that represent who they are to admissions readers.

You will also support students through the broader admissions process including researching, planning, and staying on track with deadlines.

What You’ll Do

• Guide students through brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revising college essays

• Support Common Application, Coalition Application, UC, and supplemental essays based on student need

• Help students develop authentic, personal narratives using “show, don’t tell” techniques

• Provide feedback while preserving the student’s voice and ownership of their work

• Support broader admissions strategy including building college lists, working through applications and writing activities lists.

• Help students stay organized, motivated, and on track with deadlines 

• Meet with students virtually throughout the admissions cycle

• Answer student and parent questions about the college admissions process

• Provide emotional support and encouragement during a high stress process

💡 Strong coaches understand this is both an academic and emotional process and can support students accordingly

What We Offer

• Flexible remote work environment
• Set your own schedule
• High quality student referrals
• Supportive tutor community
• Ongoing collaboration and best practice sharing
• Compensation for late cancellations
• Tutors retain 100 percent of their hourly rate

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Empathetic, engaging, and student centered approach
