At Carnegie Learning, we believe educators are the key to creating the next generation of great thinkers. We are looking for experienced, engaging educators to provide virtual academic support to K-5 students in Mathematics and English Language Arts.
Tutor Instructors deliver lessons and materials provided by Carnegie Learning in one-on-one and small-group settings of up to six students. You will use your instructional expertise to bring the lesson to life, build strong connections with students, check for understanding, and adjust your approach based on the learners in front of you.
We are currently hiring for a cohort of tutors, who can consistently work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5pm-7:30pm EST. Availability during these times on all three days is strongly preferred. Candidates with partial availability may be considered for substitute opportunities. This hiring group is expected to begin onboarding on January 4th, with tutoring sessions beginning on January 19th, 2027..
