Who we are

Bothell STEM Coach teaches AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C, and AP Calculus, and we've worked with 600+ families since 2022.

A lot of our students are used to being good at school. Physics or calculus is the first class that pushes back. We teach them a process for breaking hard problems down, so they stop backing away from hard things. Parents see their kid gain confidence, not just a better grade.

What we care about

  • Do what is best for students.

    When the honest answer is that we are not the right fit for a family, we say so.

    On a call, that can mean telling a parent their kid doesn't need us, and meaning it.

  • Work together as a team, with no burnouts.

    We do not trade somebody's health for a result.

    You're never alone with a hard conversation, and nobody expects you to grind through a week you can't sustain.

  • Growth mindset.

    Everyone here gets better on purpose.

    We listen back to calls together, pick one thing to work on, and try it on the next family.

Who this is for

People who are good with worried parents and nervous teens.

  • Teachers, current or former
  • School counselors
  • Tutors
  • People from parent-facing or customer-facing roles

You're patient. You listen more than you talk. And you're comfortable being straight with people, including when the straight answer is "this isn't the right fit for your kid."

This is not a high-pressure sales job.

No fake urgency, no cornering anyone, no talking a family into something that won't help their kid.

If you've been rewarded for closing at any cost, this won't feel like home. If that kind of selling always made you uncomfortable, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

What the work is

  • 30-minute conversations with parents, often with their teen on the call too. They've already booked the time and watched a video about the program, so they arrive with real questions.
  • About 1 to 3 calls a day, around 2 on average, with more on weekends.
  • Reminder texts before calls, and follow-up with families who miss theirs.
  • Most conversations are about AP Physics 1. We also teach AP Physics 2, AP Physics C, and AP Calculus.

What you get

  • A written playbook for the calls
  • Recordings of real calls to learn from
  • Weekly coaching with Allen

Every good-fit family you enroll is a student who gets through a class that was about to beat them.

Questions

Is this sales?

The goal of each call is to enroll families who are a good fit, so yes, in that sense. But the families have already booked the call and watched a video about the program. Your job is to listen, answer honestly, and help them decide. If we're not the right fit, you tell them.

What hours would I work?

Families book the calls: about 1 to 3 a day, around 2 on average, with more on weekends. It's part-time, and weekend availability helps. You'll tell us your available hours in the application.

Do I need to know physics or calculus?

No. You need to understand the program, not the physics, and we train you on it.

Is this fully remote?

Yes. You need to be based in the US and able to work US hours.
