About This Academic Tutoring Role

This is a pure academic instruction role — no childcare, transportation, or household duties. You'll provide structured 1:1 tutoring sessions focused on 4th grade math, writing, and executive function skills. The family is looking for an educator who designs the learning experience, not someone who supervises homework completion.

This position is an ideal fit for:

A current or former elementary school teacher (K–5) seeking part-time afternoon hours

An education degree candidate with classroom or fieldwork experience

An educator or nanny currently working mornings with another family who wants consistent afternoon income

The Monday–Thursday afternoon schedule leaves mornings and Fridays fully open. Twelve guaranteed hours per week provides reliable, predictable income.

About the Student

Jake is a bright, bilingual 8-year-old entering 4th grade who thrives in 1:1 learning environments. He is a strong reader with high energy and a tendency toward distraction — group tutoring and passive homework help have not been effective. What works is a structured, warm educator who arrives prepared, holds the session with consistency, and adapts instruction to keep him engaged.

Primary academic focus areas:

Math — core need; 4th grade curriculum with foundational gap work

Writing — paragraph structure and written expression

Executive function — assignment management, organization, planning

General academic development — curriculum design and progress tracking

Academic Tutor Responsibilities

Arrive to each session with a prepared instructional plan

Deliver structured 1:1 academic tutoring in math, writing, and organizational skills

Design and maintain a 4th grade learning curriculum tailored to Jake's specific gaps

Teach executive function and study skills — not just task completion

Submit a written weekly progress summary covering session content, student performance, and upcoming goals

Communicate proactively with the family about what's working and what needs adjustment

Build consistent rapport that keeps Jake motivated and on track

Academic Tutor Qualifications

Required:

Teaching credential, active education degree, or equivalent professional teaching background

Strong working knowledge of 4th grade curriculum, with emphasis on elementary math instruction

Experience delivering 1:1 tutoring or individualized academic instruction

Ability to design a student-specific curriculum and track measurable progress

Experience or genuine comfort working with attention-challenged learners (ADD/ADHD)

Structured, professional approach — you come prepared and hold the session

Warm, relatable presence with elementary-age children

Strongly Preferred:

Spanish bilingual (additional tutoring hours available)

Former K–5 elementary school teacher

Background in executive function coaching or organizational skills instruction

Currently working in another child-facing role during the day

This role is not a match if:

Your approach is homework supervision rather than active instruction

You cannot speak to how you would address 4th grade math gaps

You prefer not to submit written weekly progress updates
