Help Students Build Their Future!

We’re looking for thoughtful, driven mentors to work closely with students navigating the U.S. college and graduate admissions process. This is a highly relationship-driven role focused on long-term student development, strategic guidance, and meaningful mentorship (not just application review.)

You’ll have the opportunity to support students as they explore academic interests, strengthen extracurricular profiles, develop compelling personal narratives, and prepare competitive applications for top programs.

If you enjoy coaching, writing, education, and helping ambitious students grow in confidence and direction, this role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact while working remotely with a flexible schedule.

What You’ll Do

Build meaningful 1-on-1 relationships with students over months (and sometimes years!)

Guide students through college and graduate application strategy

Help students strengthen extracurricular, academic, and personal profiles

Edit essays and provide thoughtful feedback that encourages students’ authentic voice and independent writing skills

Brainstorm creative academic, leadership, research, and professional experiences aligned with students’ goals

Meet remotely with students and families

Collaborate with fellow mentors and senior team members to support student success

Manage a flexible caseload based on your availability and interests

Why People Enjoy This Role

Fully remote work

Flexible scheduling and caseload options

Opportunity to build meaningful mentoring relationships

Intellectually engaging and rewarding work

Collaborative and supportive team environment

Multiple engagement paths available, including part-time contract, part-time salaried, and potential full-time opportunities

Opportunity for long-term growth within the organization

You May Be a Great Fit If You

Are an exceptional writer and communicator

Enjoy mentoring, coaching, or advising students

Have experience in education, admissions, academic advising, tutoring, consulting, or related fields

Hold a Bachelor’s degree from a U.S. college or university

Have teaching, admissions, graduate school, or research experience (strongly valued but not required)

Are organized, empathetic, and able to build trust with students and families

The compensation for this role will generally fall within the range of $25 - $50 an hour, though compensation is thoughtfully tailored based on experience, expertise, availability, and level of engagement. We welcome open conversations throughout the hiring process and aim to align compensation with the strengths and impact each individual brings to the team.
