Collegewise is a private college admissions advising and tutoring company that provides personalized 1:1 counseling, academic planning, extracurricular and leadership development, research and internship placement, and test prep (SAT/ACT and AP) for middle school through graduate applicants. They offer essay coaching, athletic recruitment guidance, transfer and graduate application strategy, and host free webinars and resources to support families through the college admissions process. Founded in 1999, Collegewise serves students and parents directly and partners with schools and organizations to deliver admissions expertise.

📋 Description

• As a part-time Collegewise counselor, you'll carry a caseload of 12+ students — most of whom are juniors and seniors, though many counselors also work with underclassmen — and guide them through the full arc of the college process. • You'll build 1:1 relationships, counsel students outside of school hours and in their own time zones, and occasionally work weekends during the busy fall season. • You'll be supporting both students and the families behind them, and working alongside colleagues who have absolutely no reverence for US News & World Report college rankings. • Part-time counselors typically spend 10–20 hours per week with students, depending on season and caseload size. Counseling sessions are billed at $75/hour; administrative and non-counseling work is billed at $35/hour.

🎯 Requirements

• You work with students of all ages. Not just seniors. Freshmen and sophomores think differently, need different things, and require a different kind of rapport. • You understand families, not just students. Working with parents — anxious, skeptical, hard-to-reach ones included — is a core part of this job. • You're a project manager at heart. You drive the process, track the deadlines, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks — for 12+ students at a time. • You're comfortable working within evolving systems and learning as you go.

🏖️ Benefits

• Sick leave that accrues as you work — you'll earn 1 hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 80 hours, and it rolls over year to year • 401(k) with company matching — you're eligible once you've completed one year of service and 1,000 hours worked in that same year; for every dollar you contribute (up to 5% of your pay), Collegewise adds 33 cents • NACAC membership — we'll sponsor your National Association for College Admission Counseling membership upon request • Professional development — access to Collegewise's internal L&D programming, training resources, and ongoing support
