Chicago Home Tutor has announced the creation of additional part-time positions across the city and its suburbs in order to meet the growing demand for specialized private tutors in Chicago. In order to provide targeted, one-on-one tutoring for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, the organization is looking for experienced special education tutors. This includes providing help for students who have specific learning requirements, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders and dyslexia.

Nearly 14% of kids in the United States are currently receiving special education assistance, as indicated by the most recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics. This trend can be observed on a national scale and on the local level, as parents are increasingly looking for individualized support outside of the classroom. The expansion of Chicago Home Tutor answers these demands by providing evidence-based tutoring from the comfort of the client’s own home in order to cater to a wide range of learning requirements.

Our goal is to expand access to private tutors in Chicago, particularly for students who benefit from special education support,” said Joe Hopper, President of Chicago Home Tutor. “By hiring experienced teachers with a range of proven skills, we aim to help more students reach their academic potential and thrive in their education.”

Convenience and Flexible Scheduling 

New hires will benefit from flexible work hours, with options for after-school or weekend tutoring. Certified teachers with LBS1 endorsements may also qualify for daytime roles in private schools within the Chicago area. To reduce commute times, student placements are arranged to ensure tutors’ assignments are within a quick drive of their home or workplace.

Chicago Home Tutors’ special education positions call for teachers with a bachelor’s degree and at least three years of teaching or tutoring experience. Though not essential, a Professional Educator License is generally encouraged. The company welcomes candidates with background in evidence-based literacy programs (e.g., Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading), high school STEM, behavioral learning, and executive functioning.

Interested candidates could apply via the Chicago Home Tutor website via an online form. In addition to this, the selection procedure comprises a 30-minute phone interview, reference checks, and background searches.
