Stanford undergrads and grad students — this is the best-paying coaching role on this board, and it's built to be worth your time.
We're a small, selective 1:1 college-prep program. Our students are ambitious high schoolers, and our coaches are the near-peers who've actually walked the path — top-school students who coach a small roster 1:1, with training, structure, and a head coach behind you. This is coaching for real-world impact — helping students grow as founders, builders, and leaders — not tutoring or mentoring.
THE PAY
• $100/hr plus performance bonuses — the highest rate in college-prep coaching, period
• Coaches with a full roster earn $300–$400/week
• Predictable, sustained income all year — every program is long-term, so your roster and your paycheck don't reset every season
• We bring the students — no hunting for clients, no marketing yourself, no gig churn
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Currently hiring coaches in: Econ · Pre-med · CS · AI · Engineering
Stanford undergrad or grad student (exceptional candidates from other top schools considered). Freshmen and other non-seniors especially welcome — a longer runway with us means more students and a roster that grows with you. What matters most: you can explain hard things simply, and you show up, every week, for the full year.
• EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE — non-negotiable on every track: you genuinely connect with high schoolers, motivate them when they're stuck, and inspire them to aim higher. Students don't just need the material — they need a coach who believes in them
• ECON — coach students aiming at top business/econ programs: finance and investing projects, business competitions, clubs that actually ship something
• PRE-MED — help students find and run research, prepare for science fairs and competitions, and build real clinical and volunteer experience
• CS / AI / ENGINEERING — mentor students building apps, AI projects, and competition entries — hackathons, app challenges, robotics — that they can actually finish and show
Across every track, the craft is the same: helping your student land summer programs, awards, research, community service, and passion projects — the pieces of a standout application, alongside academics and test prep.
THE ROLE
• One-hour 1:1 sessions, weekly or bi-weekly, for 1–3 students (you start with one)
• Full training, session structure, and head-coach support provided — and we'll walk you through everything else once you're matched with a student
• One-year commitment per student — our students plan their year around you, so no mid-year exits
