We’re looking for someone with strong emotional intelligence who can meet students where they are, whether they need accountability, encouragement, or a reset, and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’re energized by building trust quickly and turning conversations into real progress, this role will feel both natural and rewarding.
