Guitar Teacher – In-Home Private Lessons
Bergen County School of Music
We are currently hiring guitar instructors for private in-home lessons throughout Bergen County, NJ. Please do not apply if you do not have a reliable car.
What We Offer:
- $60/hour teaching rate
- Flexible scheduling - you set your availability
- We provide the students and scheduling support
- Bonuses & incentives for student sign-ups and teacher referrals
- Consistent weekly students
- Opportunity for recitals, showcases, and performance events
Our students range from casual hobbyists learning for fun all the way to highly motivated students preparing for major performances including our Carnegie Hall recital and special events like performing at New Jersey Devils games this fall.
What We’re Looking For:
- Reliable, punctual, and professional instructors
- Minimum 1-year commitment preferred
- Strong with beginner through intermediate students (advanced teaching ability preferred as well)
- Ability to teach foundational guitar skills, technique, rhythm, note reading, improvisation, music theory, classical/jazz foundations, chords, scales, songwriting, etc.
- Most importantly: ability to make lessons FUN and engaging
We want teachers who can make lessons feel like the student’s favorite part of their week. A great teacher can balance structure and fundamentals while also keeping students excited by teaching songs they actually love — whether that’s Taylor Swift, movie soundtracks, pop songs, classic rock, metal, indie, or anything in between.
Ideal candidates are adaptable, positive, patient, and able to connect with both children and adults. If a student walks in excited about a song, we want teachers who can simplify chords, riffs, melodies, or arrangements on the spot and turn that excitement into motivation.
Ability to teach additional instruments at any level is a huge plus and will help fill your schedule faster. Piano is especially in high demand, but we are also always looking for instructors who can teach drums, bass, voice, violin, or other orchestral instruments.
Requirements:
- Reliable transportation
- Comfortable traveling to students’ homes throughout Bergen County
- Strong communication and time management
- Background in guitar performance and/or music education preferred
If you are dependable, love teaching, and want to build meaningful long-term relationships with students while getting paid well to do what you love, we’d love to hear from you.
