Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Senior Tutor! By becoming a Senior Tutor, you can expand your impact by sharing what you’ve learned about tutoring with the community. Your main responsibilities will include leading SAT Bootcamp onboarding sessions, completing peer reviews of SAT Bootcamp sessions, and answering questions from new tutors.
What does "highly engaging Bootcamp" mean?
You are eligible to become an SAT Bootcamp Senior Tutor when you have led at least one highly engaging Bootcamp.
A “highly-engaging Bootcamp” is one that meets key quality benchmarks and provides a great experience for learners. Currently, this means leading a Bootcamp with:
7+ sessions completed
Average tutor talk time under 90%
High average learner satisfaction rating
In addition to these, we also review a variety of other quality factors, such as tutor reliability, safety, learner feedback, and overall session experience to ensure the Bootcamp meets Schoolhouse standards.
How do I meet the "Host an SAT Bootcamp Onboarding Session" requirement?
Once you have hosted a highly engaging Bootcamp, you are eligible to host Onboarding Sessions for new tutors! Complete the training on leading Onboarding Sessions and host your first Onboarding Session! The window for publishing onboarding sessions opens three weeks before the start of each Bootcamp; you will receive automated messages letting you know when the publishing window is open.
How do I meet the "intermediate-level peer reviewer" requirement?

I don't understand why my Bootcamp didn't qualify as "highly-engaging." What should I do?
There are a variety of factors that go into screening a Bootcamp as "highly-engaging." We encourage you to review any feedback you’ve received (AI feedback, peer reviews, learner feedback, etc.) and use it as a guide for your next Bootcamp. Tutoring is a skill you develop over time; just like with anything, the more you practice, the better you get. Each Bootcamp is a chance to learn, grow, and refine your approach.
Wondering what happened to the previous "SAT Guide" role?
As part of overall changes to the tutor journey, the Guide role has turned into a “Senior Tutor” role that is no longer application-based; instead tutors will be able to level up to this role (similar to other roles on the growth journey). All previous Guides automatically qualify as Senior Tutors.
