A professional family in Alamo, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) is seeking an experienced academic tutor or elementary school teacher for part-time, 1:1 instruction with their 9-year-old son entering 4th grade.

• Days:
  Monday – Thursday
• Hours:
  
  3:30 PM – 6:30 PM (12 hours per week guaranteed)
• Pay rate: $38–$45 per hour (W-2, legally paid)
• Start date:
  
  ASAP
• Additional hours are available for bilingual Spanish candidates

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.

• 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

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.

• 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

• 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 the student’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 the student motivated and on track

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 — prepared and holds 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

• Not a match if your approach is homework supervision rather than active instruction
• Not a match if you cannot explain how you would address 4th grade math gaps
• Not a match if you prefer not to submit written weekly progress updates
