  • Empathy, patience, and a student‑first approach
  • Reliable vehicle for local travel to client homes
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a strong plus — premium rates available for bilingual matches
  • Ability to commit to a student for the full school year
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 matches.
