Professor; or Volunteer

Teach one student at a time. Shape a career, a business, or a field.

At Elton University, you won't lecture to a room of 100 students. You will sit down (virtually) with one learner who wants to master what you know. Together you will design a personalized plan, work in two-week Sprints, and produce real work: a portfolio, a business, a publication, a product.

We built Elton on the last 40 years of learning science and on Montessori's principle of one learner, one teacher. Research shows 1-on-1 tutoring is the most effective way to learn. We are making it affordable and available to anyone.

• Meet 1-on-1 or in small groups with students whose goals match your expertise
• Co-design personalized learning plans and two-week Sprints with each student
• Teach through real-world projects, primary sources, and professional practice
• Give frequent, specific feedback and assess mastery through portfolios and published work
• Partner with the student's coach to keep them motivated and on track
• Mentor doctoral candidates toward publication (if you hold a doctorate)

• Hold a master's or doctorate, or bring equivalent professional mastery in your field
• Have taught, mentored, or managed people, formally or informally
• Love explaining ideas and helping others find their own questions
• Want to teach on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Believe a student's interests and goals drive the best learning

• Elton matches you with students when their interests fit your expertise. You choose how many students to take.
• Choose paid hourly work or volunteer teaching.
• We train every professor in the Elton way: tutoring techniques, mastery-based pacing, and student-led learning.
• Work remotely using Slack, Zoom, Notion, and email.
