Why This Role Stands Out
Make a significant impact on the lives of neurodivergent students by providing personalized, in-home academic and socio-emotional support with competitive hourly pay of $25-$35+. This flexible, part-time role is ideal for empathetic educators with experience in special education who are eager to grow their caseload and income while fostering student confidence and resilience. You'll thrive by tailoring instruction to individual IEP goals and collaborating with families to build a brighter future.

About the Role
At Tutor Me Education, we connect passionate educators with neurodivergent students for high-impact, 1:1 in-home tutoring. As an In-Home Special Education Tutor, you'll deliver personalized academic instruction, socio-emotional support, and patient behavioral guidance aligned to each student's learning style and IEP goals — right in their home.
This is a flexible, part-time W-2 employee role. Start with one student (~2–10 hrs/week) and take on additional students whenever you'd like to grow your hours and income.
What You'll Do
- Lead engaging 1:1 sessions tailored to students with diverse learning needs
- Implement creative lesson plans aligned to each student's IEP goals (full resources and support from our team)
- Adapt academic materials to each student's unique learning profile
- Track progress after each session and keep open, empathetic communication with parents and guardians
- Foster a safe, inclusive environment that builds confidence and resilience
Who We're Looking For
- AA, BA, or higher (Special Education, Psychology, or Education preferred)
- Hands-on experience supporting students with special needs or learning differences (e.g., ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia) — currently enrolled college students with this experience are encouraged to apply
- Empathy, patience, and a student-first approach
- Reliable vehicle for local travel to client homes
- Ability to pass a background check
- Bilingual (Spanish/English) a strong plus — premium rates available for bilingual matches
Pay
$25–$35+ per hour, based on your credentials, specialization, and the needs of the student you're matched with. Most roles fall in the $25–$35+ range; higher rates apply for credentialed or specialized tutors, higher-need cases, and bilingual (Spanish/English) matches.
Why Join
- Real impact: build lasting 1:1 bonds and help shape a student's trajectory
- Support: specialized curriculum resources and a dedicated team for student matching
- Perks: performance-based incentives, referral program, mileage, technology reimbursement, and the CalSavers retirement option
