Special Ed Tutors

Are you interested in working with children who have special needs? Are you looking to gain valuable training and experience, while making a difference in the lives of children and their families?

Achievement Centers of America (dba ASD Learning Centers) brings lasting and positive changes to the individuals with disabilities we serve. At Achievement Centers, our mission is to provide behavioral and educational services that meet the individual needs of our clients and that result in their ability to develop meaningful relationships and achieve the highest level of independence possible in their home and community settings.

Achievement Centers is looking for Tutors to work one-on-one with children diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities and work under the direction of our Master Tutors. We also work with parents and caregivers to provide them with strategies to support their children and promote ongoing progress. We only hire tutors who see themselves as "learning detectives," coaches and mentors rather than "homework helpers" or "test prep specialists."

Service hours are typically Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. during the school year. Summer hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Schedules will vary on a case-by-case basis.
