Listing checked September 15, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is hiring Education & Tutoring Experts to work on a customer project that trains next-generation AI systems. You will use your teaching background to hold realistic one-on-one tutoring conversations with other participants. No AI experience is needed. Your tutoring, teaching, and academic coaching skills are what matter here. The role is fully remote and contractor-based.
What You'll Do7
- 1Hold realistic one-on-one tutoring and educational conversations with other project participants.

- 3Deliver clear, accurate, and helpful explanations that match different learning needs and levels.
- 4Show effective teaching techniques, active listening, questioning, and student engagement during conversations.
- 5Adjust your communication and teaching approach based on the learner's needs, understanding, and progress.
- 6Offer constructive feedback and guidance in a supportive and professional manner.

- 2Several years of hands-on teaching, tutoring, or academic support experience preferred.
- 3Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- 4Ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt explanations to different learners.
- 5Experience conducting one-on-one tutoring, teaching, mentoring, or academic coaching sessions.
- 6Strong active listening, patience, and student engagement skills.

Who Should Apply
This role fits someone with a solid background in teaching, tutoring, or academic coaching who enjoys one-on-one instruction and can adjust explanations on the fly. If you have several years of hands-on experience and strong verbal communication, you are likely a good match. The role is less suitable for people who prefer large-group lecturing or who have no direct tutoring experience. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot show specific examples of adapting to different learners or when their communication skills are not clearly demonstrated. Another common reason for low fit is a lack of comfort with remote, paired conversation sessions.
