About Brainlyne

Brainlyne supports students and families with international university applications and educational opportunities.

We are building a team of tutors and advisors to support students through online group classes and individual guidance. Our work covers university orientation, admissions preparation, and application support across different tracks, including the US, UK, Europe, and other destinations.

Areas we are hiring for

Depending on your background and preferences, you may support one or more of the following:

SAT and test preparation

English and academic writing

Essay brainstorming and feedback

University orientation and admissions systems

US, UK, and European application guidance

University research and school-list building

Activities, CVs, and personal profile development

Interview and financial-aid preparation

You do not need to cover every area. Assignments will be matched to your academic background, experience, strengths, and preferred areas of support.

Responsibilities

Online group classes

Lead engaging online sessions for groups of students

Teach topics such as SAT preparation, English, writing, and general university preparation

Explain university admissions systems, timelines, and requirements

Support students with practical exercises and clear next steps

Individual student support

Review each student’s personal Brainlyne folder and current progress

Follow an individual plan based on the student’s goals, destination, and stage of preparation

Support university lists, applications, essays, activities, CVs, interviews, and deadlines

Give constructive written and verbal feedback

Help students complete their own work without writing applications or essays for them

Track progress, update notes, and communicate important concerns to the Brainlyne team

Requirements

Currently enrolled as a junior or senior, or an alumnus or recent graduate of a leading university

Demonstrated experience in tutoring, teaching, mentoring, admissions advising, essay editing, writing support, or a related area

Strong knowledge of at least one relevant subject or admissions track

Strong written and spoken English

Excellent communication, organization, and follow-up skills

Comfortable teaching online and working with students independently

Reliable, patient, and able to provide thoughtful feedback

Candidates may come from universities such as Princeton, Harvard, Oxford, NYU, or other comparable institutions. However, university background alone is not enough. We are especially interested in candidates with practical experience supporting students.

Important expectations

Tutors and advisors must maintain professional boundaries. They should not write applications or essays on behalf of students, or guarantee admission, scholarships, visas, or test scores.

This is a flexible, assignment-based role. Compensation is based on approved hours completed and documented, including group classes, individual sessions, preparation, and feedback.
