Remote Academic Tutor jobs – Full‑Time Remote Teaching Specialist in Chicago, Illinois – Experienced Education Specialist for K‑12 & College Math, Science & Writing – $45‑$60 k yr

• Flexible Schedule
• Collaborative Learning Platform Team --- ### About the Team At

BrightPath Learning

, we’re a tight‑knit crew of 24 educators, curriculum designers, and tech‑support staff spread across the United States. Our flagship product,

PathwayPrep

, is a subscription‑based tutoring platform that blends live video sessions with AI‑enhanced practice problems. Over the past 18 months we’ve grown our active student base from 5,000 to 13,800, a 176 % increase, and we’re on track to hit 20 k by the end of next year. We’ve deliberately built a

remote‑first

culture; every team member works from wherever they feel most focused. Our main hub is a virtual “learning commons” that runs 9 am–5 pm Pacific, but the real magic happens when tutors log in from coffee shops in Chicago, Illinois or from a home office in the outer suburbs. The role you’re reading about exists because we just launched a new

STEM‑Accelerate

track that will add 2,300 high‑school students in the next quarter, and we need tutors who can hit the ground running while we keep our SLA of 95 % session‑completion within the booked time slot. ### Why This Role Exists Now The pandemic turned remote education from an experiment into a mainstay. Since 2020 we’ve seen a steady uptick in families seeking supplemental instruction that’s

personalized, affordable, and accessible anytime

. Our data team tells us that the demand for one‑on‑one tutoring in Chicago, Illinois spikes in January (post‑holidays) and again in May (college‑application season). We’ve just secured a three‑year partnership with the

Chicago Unified School District

, which will fund 1,200 tutoring slots for under‑served middle‑schoolers in Illinois. That partnership brings a concrete need for tutors who can: 1. Deliver curriculum‑aligned sessions that match state standards. 2. Provide real‑time feedback that helps students close specific gaps. 3. Work in a

flexible‑hour

model that respects both the tutor’s life and the student’s after‑school schedule. If you love watching a student’s confidence shift after a breakthrough moment, this is the place to make that happen—and to be counted on for measurable outcomes. ### What You’ll Do – Day‑to‑Day | Time Block | Core Activities | |------------|-----------------| |
