There are additional opportunities to teach, proctor, research for those looking to expand their role.

Throughout the entire process, the Summit Team will provide support to compelling candidates, including in house tutoring to help you with tough concepts. We know that community members from marginalized backgrounds often receive negative messaging based on their race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, and sex that prevent them from pursuing opportunities that they believe are a good fit or find interesting.

At Summit Educational Group, we are committed to cultivating an environment where diverse perspectives and backgrounds are embraced, acknowledging that a team reflecting diversity of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, and veteran status allows us to serve our communities better.
