Private Educator

Job Description

ESM is seeking a dynamic, experienced, and highly professional tutor to serve a single student as a "private educator". The family is based in the San Francisco Bay area, and the tutor will be expected to be available in person, at the family’s home up to five days each week. 

This private educator will work full-time to empower the student’s educational success while supporting and collaborating with ESM teammates and the student’s parents to provide the environment in which the student can thrive. In particular, this private educator will be responsible for tutoring the student in English, US History, Geometry, Chemistry, Spanish 2, and Religion, as well as providing executive functioning support.

Tutoring sessions will occur primarily in the student's home in Woodside, CA. Candidates should be excited by the prospect of focusing all of their teaching energy into the development of a single student and must be able to tutor in-person on the previously mentioned subjects for up to 20 hours per week, in addition to time spent preparing for sessions, communicating with parents, and collaborating with teammates.
