[Hiring] Virtual Special Education Tutor @Tutor Me Education

Role Description

Tutor Me Education is reshaping how students learn, and we're looking for experienced special education tutors to provide 1:1 and small group virtual instruction to students across the country. If you're passionate about supporting students with IEPs, 504 plans, and diverse learning needs — and you want the flexibility to build a schedule around your life — we'd love to hear from you.

• Deliver engaging, individualized virtual instruction tailored to each student's IEP goals, accommodations, and learning profile.
• Create structured lesson plans that align with student goals, grade-level standards, and the specific accommodations or modifications each student requires.
• Adapt instruction in real time based on student questions, progress, and engagement.
• Track student progress and communicate effectively with families and, where applicable, school district partners.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required (degree in Special Education, Education, Psychology, or a related field preferred).
• Experience working with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or other special education needs — whether as a credentialed SPED teacher, paraprofessional, interventionist, or tutor.
• Familiarity with IEPs, 504 plans, and common accommodations (extended time, chunked instruction, multi-sensory approaches, etc.).
• Ability to design and deliver lesson plans aligned to student goals and accommodations.
• Strong virtual instruction skills — comfort with video conferencing, digital whiteboards, and keeping students engaged online.
• Ability to pass a background check.
• Reliable computer, internet, webcam, and quiet workspace.

Requirements

• Active or previous teaching credential, especially in Special Education (preferred, not required).
• Experience with specific methodologies such as Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading, or structured literacy (preferred, not required).
• Bilingual (Spanish/English) a plus (preferred, not required).
• Flexible schedule — work when you want.
• 100% remote.
• Set your own hourly rate.
• Consistent flow of students matched to your expertise.
• Opportunity to make a real difference for students who need it most.

Benefits

• Fully remote — tutor from home on your own computer.
• You set your schedule — choose your availability and update it anytime.
• You set your hourly rate — and negotiate per job based on the scope of work.
• Steady opportunities — with hundreds of new students signing up daily, we match jobs to your email based on the subjects and student populations you're best suited for.
• Note: Many of our assignments operate in Pacific Time, so availability during PT hours is a plus.
