Private Educators

How do we define a private educator?

A private educator, often referred to as a private tutor or personal teacher, is a professional who provides individualized instruction and educational support to a learner (or learners) outside of the traditional classroom setting.

Many of our clients elected to hire these individuals and form “pods” during the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we see clients hiring these individuals when they are interested in forming homeschooling groups. We think this is a great way of homeschooling kiddos while providing access to socialization and community.

We list these positions at $30-50/hr in annual compensation depending on the needs of our clients and scope of duties. When regular traveling is required, consider the higher end of the range.
