🏢 About Shiva's Tutorial

About This Role

As a commission-based Educational Consultant, you'll be the bridge between students/parents and our tutoring services, using your network and social media to promote programs and onboard new learners. Your outreach directly fuels student success and expands our reach in India's remote learning landscape.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day by checking team updates and any new leads from the central system. Spend a few hours actively reaching out to potential students via social media DMs, community posts, or personal referrals, following up on previous conversations.
