Long Term Philosophy Tutor

Compensation: $1000 per month, may be adjusted commensurate with experience.

Job Purpose- This position offers the opportunity to take on a one-on-one philosophy student motivated purely by the desire to deepen and refine his philosophical thinking and writing.

The student's objective is to be able to produce philosophical scholarship at or exceeding the level of an excellent undergraduate senior thesis.

Total duration of position: at least one year.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

Base level duties and responsibilities of this position are not hugely different from those of the average college-level instructor. They consist of:

-Lesson preparation: Instructor should have precise and insightful recall of works and concepts related each class's topic.

-Course instruction: Instructional time is to be approximately five hours per month, divided as determined between instructor and student. Pay will reflect five instructional hours per month at $200/hour. Adjustments possible commensurate with experience.
