This is not a cold calling role. Families are already reaching out looking for support. Your job is to guide conversations, build trust quickly, understand student needs, and help families take the next step toward tutoring services that truly make an impact.

  • Accurately track communication and activity within our CRM
  • Partner closely with internal teams to ensure a smooth student experience
  • Hit weekly and monthly enrollment and performance goals
