About BlossomS Tutoring & ABA Services, LLC

BlossomS Tutoring & ABA Services, LLC is a growing educational organization committed to helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As a New York State and New York City Certified Minority and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE), we partner with schools and communities to provide high-quality academic intervention, enrichment programming, and ABA-informed educational support.

Because many of the students and families we serve are Spanish-speaking, bilingual staff play an important role in supporting communication, student engagement, and family partnerships.

Depending on school needs and individual qualifications, selected staff may also provide ABA-informed educational support to students requiring additional behavioral, social-emotional, or executive functioning supports within the classroom.

This opportunity is ideal for college students, graduate students, aspiring teachers, and professionals pursuing careers in Education, Special Education, Psychology, Social Work, Child Development, Speech-Language Pathology, Counseling, or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Candidates with ABA or autism experience may also:

• Implement ABA-informed educational support strategies.
• Utilize positive behavior supports and reinforcement systems.
• Support students with self-regulation, classroom engagement, transitions, and social skill development.
• Collaborate with school staff to promote positive behavioral and academic outcomes.

• Passionate about working with children.
• Dependable, professional, and organized.
