ELA Content Reviewer (Test Prep: SHSAT/ISEE/HSPT/Common Core)

We're an established NYC test-prep company building an adaptive testing platform, and we're looking for one meticulous ELA reviewer to own the quality of our English content: reading passages, reading-comprehension questions, and revising/editing (grammar/usage) items for exams like the SHSAT and ISEE. You will be given a test passage to evaluate and must be tech savvy. What you'll do: Review AI-assisted and human written reading passages for quality, coherence, age-appropriateness, and genre fit (fiction, informational, poetry) Review RC and revising/editing questions: is the credited answer defensibly correct? Are wrong answers plausible but clearly wrong? Does the question test what it claims to? Review answer explanations for clarity and correctness — would this explanation actually teach a student why they missed the question? Flag and describe defects clearly in our review platform (approve / send back / reject with reasons) — your written observations directly shape our automated quality checks, so we want a reviewer who notices patterns, not just errors Work independently on a clear queue with priorities marked; async communication, flexible hours What we're looking for: You must be tech savvy as you are working on a tech platform Strong ELA background: teaching, tutoring, editing, or test-prep content experience (middle-school level: grades 5–9) Excellent command of grammar and usage conventions (the revising/editing items are technical) Familiarity with standardized reading tests (SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT, or state ELA exams a plus; NYC admissions test familiarity a real plus) Detail-oriented and consistent — you'll be the single quality standard for this content Comfortable working in a web platform daily; reliable self-reported hours Native-level English Engagement: ~15–25 hours/week, hourly, long-term for the right person. Start with a short paid trial (details below). Work is fully remote and async. To apply, answer these in your proposal (short answers fine): Your background with middle-school ELA or test-prep content In 3–4 sentences: what makes a bad multiple-choice reading question?
