About the Role
TutorMe is seeking an experienced elementary educator to serve as a full-time, in-home primary teacher for a first-grade student in Sandy Springs. This is not supplemental tutoring. You will be the child's main daytime educator, responsible for assessing his academic level, building and delivering a complete first-grade curriculum, and managing his day-to-day learning progress.
The ideal candidate has classroom or homeschool teaching experience, is comfortable working independently in a family's home, and can adapt instruction for a bright, Montessori-background student who thrives with individualized, self-directed learning.
What You'll Do
- Conduct an initial academic assessment to determine the student's current level across core subjects
- Design and deliver a complete first-grade curriculum covering reading/phonics, writing and language arts, math, science, and social studies
- Personalize pacing and challenge level based on the student's individual abilities rather than defaulting to grade-level pacing alone
- Build and maintain a structured, developmentally-appropriate daily/weekly schedule
- Track and report on academic progress on an ongoing basis
- Foster engagement, confidence, and independence in the student's learning
- Maintain instructional consistency during periods of family travel, including transitioning to virtual sessions or adjusted assignments as needed
- Keep instruction aligned to standards in a way that would allow a seamless transition back into a traditional school setting if desired
- Support the family with general guidance on Georgia homeschool compliance and recordkeeping norms
Schedule
- 4-5 days per week, in-home in Sandy Springs
- Full school-day structure appropriate for a 6-year-old (exact hours to be finalized, generally mid-morning to mid-afternoon)
- Fall 2026 start; flexibility on exact start date preferred but prompt availability is a plus
- Willingness to shift to virtual instruction on short notice during family travel
Who You Are
- Experienced elementary educator (classroom teaching, homeschool instruction, or equivalent) with a strong grasp of first-grade academic standards
- Comfortable independently selecting or adapting curriculum to fit a student's needs
- Skilled at building rapport with young children and creating an engaging, confidence-building learning environment
- Experience with Montessori or individualized/self-paced learning environments is a strong plus
- Reliable, highly communicative, and comfortable working directly with a parent who is closely involved but often traveling
- Background check and reference-ready
