• 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 â premium rates available for bilingual matches

Pay

$25â$35+ per hour, based on your credentials, specialization, and the needs of the student you're matched with. Most roles fall in the $25â$35+ range; higher rates apply for credentialed or specialized tutors, higher‑need cases, and bilingual (Spanish/English) matches.
