Part-Time Physics Instructor

Job Description

All sessions take place at our center in Westport, CT. This is not a remote position.

This is a part-time Physics Instructor role beginning August/September 2026. Candidates must be available to work Sundays, with additional weekday hours based on student scheduling needs.

Who We Are

At Freudigman & Billings, we believe students thrive when supported by meaningful relationships. Our mission is to help young people understand how they learn and empower them to take ownership of their academic journey. We do this through individualized assessments, personalized learning plans, and one-on-one coaching that meets students where they are.

What We Do

Drawing on cognitive science and shaped by our founders’ experience at Yale University, we take a holistic approach to academic instruction. Our instructors help students build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and gain a deeper understanding of subject matter, including all levels of physics.

As an instructor, you’ll work one-on-one with students in a supportive, collaborative environment. Our instructors provide thoughtful, rigorous academic support in a way that’s both engaging and effective. The work is deeply rewarding and offers opportunities to make a lasting academic and personal impact.

Who You Are

You have a B.A./B.S. in Physics or a related field and a strong foundation in high school physics content. You may already have teaching or tutoring experience, or you may be eager to develop your instructional skills in a highly supportive environment. What matters most is your intellectual curiosity, your ability to connect with students, and your enthusiasm for helping young people grow.

We’ll train you in our instructional methods, but you’ll bring your own unique strengths. Maybe it’s your knack for breaking down challenging physics concepts, or your ability to make a stressed-out teen feel more confident and capable. We’re looking for someone who can build authentic relationships and make learning physics feel approachable—and even enjoyable.
