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
