    Werner Learning & Coaching is hiring 1 to 2 college counselors to guide high school students through the full admissions journey, from first list to final decision. We are a premium, founder-led practice built on the Werner Way: we teach students how to think, so they leave with the judgment and ownership to run their own process. If you coach that way, and you can move comfortably between Common App, UC, Counselmore, and a dozen other portals in a single afternoon, we’d love to meet you. About WL&C We serve families across the country with K-12 tutoring, test prep, executive function coaching, and comprehensive college counseling. Our students have earned $2M+ in merit aid since 2023 and 200+ acceptances to schools including Cornell, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Georgetown, Duke, Northwestern, UCLA, and USC. We’ve delivered 5,000+ lessons, and families stay with us because they always know where their student stands. You’ll join a team of educators and admin support who handle scheduling, billing, and logistics, so your time goes to students. Who you are You are a high-energy, warm, direct advisor who builds real relationships with teenagers and earns the trust of their parents. You coach students to find their own voice rather than polishing it for them. You’re organized, you follow through, and you notice when a deadline, a form, or a recommender is about to become a problem before anyone else does. You communicate with families in a clear, confident tone that makes them feel the plan is handled. What you’ll do • Lead weekly 1:1 online sessions that move each student through a complete admissions strategy, • Build balanced school lists across fit, finances, and major, with a clear reach, target, and likely mix, • Guide essays from brainstorm to outline to draft to final, protecting each student’s voice and authenticity, • Own timelines and checklists across Common App, UC, and Coalition, including recommender coordination and document flow, • Advise on testing strategy (SAT, ACT, or test-optional) and prepare Activity Lists, resumes, interviews, and scholarship applications, • Track every task and milestone in Counselmore and keep shared Drive folders clean, • Log session notes within 12 hours and send each family a concise update by Friday at 5pm ET, • Support deferral, waitlist, and final decision coaching, including letters of continued interest, • Honor our 24-hour reschedule policy and keep student information confidential What you need to know cold • Common App: accounts, FERPA, Activity List, Honors, Additional Info, and recommender coordination, • UC Application: PIQs, majors, and campus-by-campus requirements, • College Board platforms: digital SAT and Bluebook, sending scores, and AP/IB reporting, plus ACT registration and score sending, • Financial aid: FAFSA and CSS Profile timelines and documentation, • Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail), Zoom, and Google Meet, with fast, reliable internet, • Counselmore, Naviance, Coalition, and Scoir experience is a plus, and we’ll train you on the rest. If you pick up new platforms quickly, tell us about it. What you bring • Proven outcomes: admit highlights, merit awards, or both (references welcome), • An essay coaching portfolio, such as before-and-after samples or edited drafts with your commentary, • U.S. residence and eligibility to work as a 1099 contractor, • At least 5 hours per week, with flexibility across the week Details • Starting rate of $82.50/hr, flexible based on experience and fit, • Fully remote, with a schedule built around your availability, • Templates, a resource library, a Counselmore workspace, and ops support provided, • A steady stream of referrals from our families and team, • Before your first student assignment, you’ll complete the WL&C Certification: short self-paced modules plus a scored mock advising session. It’s how we make sure every family gets the same standard of care.

    WILLIAMSBURG CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL - Certified Teacher WCHS’s powerful educational program enables every student to graduate well-prepared for college and the world beyond it. Most importantly, all WCHS students mature intellectually, socially, and morally as a result of being an active member of a school community that endorses high expectations that challenge each student to achieve his/her full potential. In order to fulfil its mission, WCHS is looking for exceptional teachers. Our teachers play very critical roles in realising the core mission, philosophy, and unique youth-centered approach to the school’s educational design. WCHS teachers are not just classroom teachers, but school teachers—educators that are committed to facilitating the entire learning and instructional process and coaching young people to become independent learners, thinkers, and researchers.

Research has shown that this relationship is a key part of having students feel accounted for and by extension, accountable. In support of our students, our teachers are also Advisors to between 12-15 students for the duration of their high school career. This allows the teacher to become a part of the developmental process of their students and allows each family to have a primary contact within the school at all times. Advisors serve students and families by: Taking complete ownership of the academic, behavioral, and overall success of a group of 12-15 students Ensuring advisees are in attendance, punctual, excelling in all their classes, and seeking out appropriate support Creating an advisory period that acts as ‘home base’ for each student Being the academic expert on each advisee Acting as the liaise between the student, the family, and the school teams Teaching the advisory curriculum that has been created for their advisees’ grade Accompanying advisees on educational field trips as determined by the School Leader Contacting their advisee’s families a minimum of seven times a year and responding within 24 hours to all communications from their advisee’s families Developing and overseeing Individual Student Support Plan plans twice a year for each of their advisees Facilitating discipline-related required meetings on behalf of their advisees Performing any other advisor-related duties as requested Ensuring Student Learning Through Data-driven Instruction: Prepare rigorous, student-centered lesson plans that will engage and motivate students to learn Plan standards-based units of study with clear, intended outcomes and goals in mind Provide meaningful feedback on student work to determine student progress and to make suggestions for improvement Proactively and relentlessly seek new ways to promote student learning Create thoughtful, standards-based assessments Work closely with school leaders and colleagues, using data to drive instruction and by extension, consistently raising student achievement and intervening with improvement plans and support for struggling students Have fun and pass the love of learning onto students!
