College Guidance and SAT R&W Mentor

 
 

We're looking for a compassionate, organized, and self–driven mentor who's excited to guide students through the full college application process — helping them define their academic goals, build a highly personalized school list, prepare for the Reading & Writing section of the SAT, and write essays that they can be proud of! Experience or an openness to help students with math subjects, SAT Math, and other STEM subjects is a plus!

A mentor at Mosaico helps students: 

  • identify what they're looking for in an education

  • define their priorities and area of study

  • develop a personalized, balanced, and financially viable list of colleges and/or universities where they can be happy and successful

  • brainstorm, draft, and edit personal essays that they can be proud of

  • improve academically in school subjects and executive functions

  • prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, DET

  • stay motivated and on track to complete their applications

  • find purpose in their next step after high school

Hours and Compensation

Since classes fluctuate over the course of the semester, mentors are not guaranteed a certain number of classes.  That being said, as mentors we teach approximately 20- 30 hours of class per month from August through December. This can be increased to 30-40 hours monthly if a mentor chooses to also teach SAT Math. We also may offer continued work (depending on demand) during the spring and summer months.

This is an ideal position for someone who has another part-time job in the mornings and is looking for the opportunity to work with students one-on-one on Zoom in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays and/or on weekends during the academic school year. Mentors have flexibility and a level of autonomy over their schedule, while still responding to the needs of our students. We will have a conversation to help you define your schedule. 

Mentors are paid:

  • $750 MXN per hour for Career Planning and Exploration (CPE),  College Guidance, and Academic Support classes. 

  • $700 MXN per hour for Test Prep classes

Every other Tuesday, our mentors participate in paid professional development team meetings. Meetings are two hours long and mentors receive $500 MXN for attending. In these meetings, mentors support one another with school lists, essay revisions, and current challenges with students. Additionally, opportunities may arise to work with full scholarship students or participate in projects related to our non-profit work.
