Full Job Description

Private Educator & Family Support (1:1 Middle School) — Gallatin, TNRole Overview

This role is centered on helping a middle school student stay on track academically while meaningfully reducing the day-to-day load on his family.

You’ll work closely with one student in a highly personalized, in-home environment where your ability to take initiative, stay organized, and follow through matters just as much as your teaching. The student is bright, personable, and enjoyable to work with, and the family is respectful and values the educator as a key part of their home.

This is a blended role, combining academic support with hands-on, day-to-day household responsibilities related to the student. The family runs an organized, high-expectation home and is particular about how things are done. Success in this role comes from being detail-oriented, receptive to feedback, and able to execute consistently at a high level without needing direction.

Compensation ranges from $50,000–$65,000 annually (W2), depending on experience.

Student Profile

You’ll be working with a rising 7th grade student who benefits from individualized support, structure, and consistency. He is personable and engaging, and does best with an educator who can balance accountability with encouragement.

The primary academic focus is staying on top of school expectations—particularly in math—while building strong executive functioning skills, including organization, planning, and study habits. The student has some learning differences, including motor and visual challenges, and benefits from an educator who can adapt instruction thoughtfully and step in proactively when support is needed.

The family values professionalism, clear communication, and consistency, and is looking for someone who can become a steady, trusted presence in their son’s life.

What You’ll Do

Keep the student consistently on track with homework, assignments, and school expectations
Provide targeted academic support, including re-teaching concepts (especially in math) as needed
Build and reinforce executive functioning skills, including organization, planning, and study habits
Proactively identify gaps and step in with support without needing direction
Establish clear routines that support independence and accountability
Communicate regularly with parents and collaborate with an educational consultant
Provide transportation (including school pickup) and manage related logistics
Take full ownership of day-to-day household support related to the student, including:
Grocery runs and snack/meal preparation
Laundry and organization of clothing and belongings
Maintaining clean, organized learning and living spaces
Running errands and handling logistics that keep the household running smoothly
Execute responsibilities with strong attention to detail and alignment with family preferences
Provide occasional home support while the family is traveling (e.g., house sitting, maintaining routines)
During school breaks and summer, incorporate enrichment and interest-based learning

What Makes Someone Successful

You are proactive and self-directed — you see what needs to be done and do it
You bring strong presence and maturity — able to hold your own in a family setting
You are highly detail-oriented and take pride in doing things the right way
You are organized, reliable, and consistently professional (punctual, communicative, prepared)
You are personable, socially aware, and engaging — not awkward, able to connect naturally
You bring energy and pace, and can keep up with a dynamic environment
You are receptive to feedback and able to adapt quickly to family preferences
You are interested in a long-term role and growing with the family over time

Logistics & Compensation

Location: Gallatin, TN (in-home)
Schedule: 5 days per week
Option 1: Monday–Friday
Option 2: Monday–Thursday + Saturday
School Structure: Student attends a year-round school (typically ~8 weeks on, 2 weeks off)
During school weeks: Afternoon-focused schedule (school pickup, homework, routines)
During off-weeks and summer: Full-day schedule (approximately 9:00 AM–5:00 PM) with a mix of academic support and enrichment
Start Date: Early June 2026
Compensation: $50,000–$65,000 annually
Employment Type: W2 employee
Requirements: Valid driver’s license and ability to transport the student
Additional Expectations: Occasional house sitting / home support when the family is out of town
Time Off: Includes built-in flexibility aligned with the school calendar

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity to work closely with one student and one family in a way that allows for real impact. You’ll have the space to build a relationship, tailor your approach, and see meaningful growth over time.

For the right educator, this role offers autonomy, variety, and long-term stability. The family is respectful and values the educator’s role, and once trust is established, you’ll have the independence to truly own your work. The schedule is also more flexible and less demanding than a traditional classroom position.
