About Frontier Tutoring

Frontier Tutoring is how Alaskans get ahead.

Founded in 2008 by students at the University of Alaska Anchorage, Frontier Tutoring has grown into Anchorage’s largest educational support provider. Through academic tutoring, SAT/ACT prep, and college admission counseling, we help students build confidence, master challenging material, and move toward the futures they want.

We’re part of North Star Tutors Inc., Alaska’s largest educational support services brand, supporting students in communities across the state.

But just as importantly: we’re a people-first workplace. We work hard, we help each other out, we celebrate wins together, and yes, we do team lunches and karaoke nights. We take our mission seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

The Role

We’re hiring an Administrative Assistant to help keep our Anchorage office running smoothly day to day. This is an hourly, in-person position, starting part-time, with the possibility of growing into a full-time role over time.

We’re looking for someone who’s friendly, organized, and excited to learn. Someone who enjoys being the person others rely on, who notices what needs doing, and who likes working as part of a team that genuinely supports one another.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys variety, doesn’t panic when things change, and can laugh with coworkers while still getting things done, then this might be a great fit.

This is an in-person position in Anchorage, Alaska

What You’ll Do

Your day-to-day work will include things like:

Answering phones and providing warm, professional front-line support to families
Writing and responding to emails
Greeting students, parents, and visitors when they come into the office
Creating flyers, posters, and other materials
Helping with general office organization and administrative tasks
Pitching in on other projects as needed (we’re a team, and no one’s stuck on an island)

What We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate is someone who:

Is comfortable communicating in a professional setting
Is task-oriented and follows through
Can juggle multiple responsibilities and prioritize effectively
Works well both independently and as part of a team
Is self-motivated and good at figuring out what needs to happen next

A quick note about our environment:

We’re a growing company, and that means not everything comes with a step-by-step manual. Working at Frontier Tutoring requires flexibility, curiosity, and a willingness to help shape processes as we go. If you like structure and the chance to help build it, you’ll thrive here.

Experience & Skills (Preferred, Not Required)

Comfort using PCs and technology for everyday tasks
High school diploma or GED
Experience with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets)
Experience answering phones in a professional setting
Familiarity with office tools like Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, or similar

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every single bullet point, we still encourage you to apply. We care far more about your curiosity, work ethic, and how you show up for your team than about checking every box.
