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 โ€” right in their home.

  • 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) โ€” 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 โ€” premium rates available for bilingual matches
Pay

$25โ€“$35+ per hour, based on your credentials, specialization, and the needs of the student you're matched with. Most roles fall in the $25โ€“$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
