- Problem-solving and data analysis (ratios, percentages, statistics basics)
- Geometry and trigonometry fundamentals (as applicable)
- Word problem translation, modeling, and strategy selection
- Test-taking strategy
- Pacing, skipping/returning, educated guessing
- Process of elimination and trap answer recognition
- Calculator vs. no-calculator efficiency (as relevant)

Key Responsibilities

- Deliver structured sessions with clear objectives, guided practice, and strategic review
- Use practice data and student work to identify gaps and target instruction
- Facilitate timed practice sets and teach pacing and strategy routines
- Track student progress through skill checklists and ongoing error analysis
- Maintain a supportive, inclusive learning environment that builds confidence and persistence
- Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
- Adapt instruction based on performance trends while maintaining intended outcomes
Qualifications (Required)
- Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
- Demonstrated proficiency in SAT and/or ACT content, question types, and test strategies
- Experience tutoring high school students in math and/or ELA (test prep experience strongly preferred)
