Salary : Who We Are

Our fundamental belief at Freudigman & Billings is that children learn best in the context of supportive relationships. We are committed to helping students better understand how they learn and how they can take ownership of that learning. Our team provides educational solutions for adolescents and children through individual assessment, personally tailored learning programs, and one-on-one coaching.

What We Do

Freudigman & Billings uses an efficacious approach to instructional coaching influenced by the founders collective experience working in cognitive science at Yale University. Our Instructors provide holistic academic support for high school students across a variety of educational domains. The work is as rewarding as it is challenging as we help students navigate some of the more meaningful steps forward in their education. Our instructors are empathetic and exercise a flexible mindset.

Who You Are

The ideal candidate has a B.A. / B.S. and some experience tutoring or teaching high school students (or an inherent desire to learn to teach). We are looking for smart, personable, committed individuals who exhibit the potential to grow. Well train you, but you need to bring the fire. Whether its an in-depth knowledge of Tik Tok trends or the best comedic timing weve ever seen, you need something thatll help you create an authentic relationship with a sleep-deprived teenager. You will also have the opportunity to be considered for our rotational program and train across multiple disciplines, including Educational Therapy and Standardized Test Prep, so that you can expand your skills and develop new ways to engage with students.

Why Join Freudigman & Billings?

Predictable hours at a single office location : Almost always, our work with students takes place at our 11,000 square foot headquarters in Westport, CT. Students are encouraged to utilize our space not only to see their instructors, but to do homework, hang out with friends, have a snack, get some advice, or even catch a quick nap during finals week. Instructors are provided with a private classroom, a whiteboard, and all materials necessary for a productive session. No unpaid time as you drive from house to house!

Teamwork : We work closely together on a daily basis to create and execute individualized learning plans, meaning that our work is far more comprehensive and impactful than a transactional hour of tutoring. We are proud of the collegiality that our building and our philosophy inspires, as well as the team of educators we have attracted as a result.

Professional development : We care about our staff and teaching you how to teach. Our team of Directors have PhDs, Masters degrees, and other certifications to help you achieve your goals and help you gain mastery of your own instructional techniques. You will learn our pedagogy and have the opportunity to experience career growth.

Administrative support : We have a full time team that handles scheduling, billing, inventory and printing of materials, and administration and scoring of practice exams.

Great benefits : Fourteen days of paid time off, ten paid holidays, and five sick days. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, short and long term disability insurance, paid parental leave, and a 401k plan.

Great pay : A guaranteed salary instead of an hourly rate.
