Virtual Academic Tutor
Tutor Me Education is reshaping how students learn, and we're looking for experienced academic tutors to provide 1:1 and small group virtual instruction to students across the country. If you're passionate about supporting students with IEPs, 504 plans, and diverse learning needs — and you want the flexibility to build a schedule around your life — we'd love to hear from you. What you'll do:
- Deliver engaging, individualized virtual instruction tailored to each student's goals, accommodations, and learning profile
- Create structured lesson plans that align with student goals, grade-level standards, and the specific accommodations or modifications each student requires
- Adapt instruction in real time based on student questions, progress, and engagement
- Track student progress and communicate effectively with families and, where applicable, school district partners
Why tutors love working with us:
- Fully remote — tutor from home on your own computer
- You set your schedule — choose your availability and update it anytime
- You set your hourly rate — and negotiate per job based on the scope of work
- Steady opportunities — with hundreds of new students signing up daily, we match jobs to your email based on the subjects and student populations you're best suited for
Note: Many of our assignments operate in Pacific Time, so availability during PT hours is a plus.
