Think Zone is hiring a people-focused Tutoring Center Manager to lead our Redwood City Learning Center. You will run the center day to day, lead a team of tutors, build relationships with families, and help grow our local community.

This role is a strong fit if you love working with students, communicate clearly, and want to take ownership of a center. You do not need to have managed a team before.

We combine thoughtfully designed curriculum, technology-driven learning tools, and personalized in-person support. As we expand across the Bay Area, we are creating new opportunities for our team to grow with us.
