- Foster a safe, inclusive environment that builds confidence and resilience
Who We're Looking For
- AA, BA, or higher (Special Education, Psychology, or Education preferred)
- Hands-on experience supporting students with special needs or learning differences (e.g., ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia) — currently enrolled college students with this experience are encouraged to apply
- Empathy, patience, and a student-first approach
- Reliable vehicle for local travel to client homes
- Ability to pass a background check
- Bilingual (Spanish/English) a strong plus — premium rates available for bilingual matches
Pay
