This is not simply an administrative position.
We're looking for someone who can become the day-to-day leader of the centre—someone who understands education, builds strong relationships with families, leads and supports teachers, manages student programming, and keeps the centre running smoothly.
If you're an experienced educator, learning-centre manager, education professional, or school leader looking for an opportunity to combine education, leadership, and business operations, we'd love to hear from you.

Conduct and review student assessments
Identify students' academic strengths, skill gaps, and learning needs
Ensure programs are being delivered effectively and consistently
Monitor student progress and adjust programming when needed
Support teachers with instructional challenges and student needs
Maintain a strong understanding of elementary and secondary reading, writing, and mathematics
Parent Relationships
Building strong relationships with families is a major part of this position.
You will:
Meet with prospective and current families
Explain assessment results and program recommendations
Conduct student progress meetings
Communicate student successes and areas for continued development
Respond thoughtfully to parent questions and concerns
Build trust and long-term relationships with families

Recruiting and interviewing teachers
Training and onboarding new team members
Coaching teachers and providing constructive feedback
Monitoring instructional quality
Managing teacher schedules and classroom coverage
Creating a positive and accountable team culture
Supporting teachers when challenging student situations arise
Centre Operations
You'll take ownership of the daily operation of the centre, including:
Student and teacher scheduling
Maintaining accurate student records
Managing program changes and attendance
Coordinating assessments and parent meetings
Resolving day-to-day scheduling and staffing challenges
Ensuring the centre is organized, welcoming, and prepared each day
Working closely with the Centre Director/Owner on priorities and centre performance
Enrolment & Retention
The Education Director also plays an important role in the growth of the centre.
Responsibilities include:
Speaking with prospective families
Understanding students' needs and recommending appropriate programs
Following up with inquiries and assessment families
Supporting new student enrolment
Maintaining strong relationships that contribute to student retention
Identifying opportunities to better serve existing families
This is a consultative, relationship-focused approach. We want families to feel informed and confident that they're making the right decision for their child.
Who We're Looking For
Our ideal candidate has:
A bachelor's degree or higher
Experience in education, tutoring, learning support, academic programming, or a related field
Previous leadership, management, or significant coordination experience
Strong understanding of how students learn and why they may struggle academically
Confidence with elementary and middle-school mathematics
Strong knowledge of reading comprehension, grammar, paragraph writing, and essay writing
Excellent spoken and written English communication skills
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build genuine relationships with families
Experience supervising, mentoring, or coaching others
Excellent organization and time-management skills
Confidence handling difficult conversations and solving problems independently
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly
Previous experience managing a tutoring centre, learning centre, educational program, school program, or similar environment is a strong asset.
Teaching certification is an asset but not required.
The Person We're Looking For
Qualifications matter, but so does how you work with people.
You'll likely thrive in this role if you are:
Warm and approachable
Confident and articulate
Organized and dependable
Calm under pressure
Comfortable making decisions
Naturally good at building relationships
Able to give clear and constructive feedback
Genuinely interested in education and student development
Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
Vulnerable sector screening is mandatory
Most importantly, we're looking for someone parents can trust, teachers can look to for leadership, and students enjoy seeing at the centre.
Compensation
Base salary: $65,000 – $75,000 per year
In addition to base salary, the position includes the opportunity to earn a performance-based bonus, with total annual compensation potentially reaching approximately $75,000–$90,000+, depending on centre and individual performance.
Compensation within the range will depend on experience, education, leadership background, and demonstrated ability to take ownership of the centre.
