About The Position

Braintrust Tutors is seeking in-person Reading and/or Math Tutors to support students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tutors work with elementary and K–8 students in a school setting, delivering structured, evidence-based interventions using Braintrust Tutors’ curriculum and materials. Reading instruction develops comprehension, fluency, critical thinking, vocabulary, word study, and writing skills. Math instruction builds number sense, procedural fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Tutors may also be considered for online roles if they wish to complete their schedule.

This is a part-time 1099 contractor role. Engagements are assigned after successful completion of onboarding, with applications considered on a rolling basis for upcoming engagements. Engagements typically run 12–14 weeks, with opportunities in the Fall (November to December) and Spring (January to June). The schedule is during school-day hours, generally three or four days per week, with 45-minute sessions and three to five sessions per day. Applicants must be available for the entire assigned schedule. The rate is $60 per hour, prorated by session.

Onboarding includes creating a Braintrust Learning Center account, completing self-paced policy and curriculum modules, setting up a platform profile and submitting required documents, completing a background check and fingerprinting when applicable, attending live Zoom curriculum practice sessions, submitting teaching demonstration recordings, applying to positions, and—once matched—completing platform orientation and a Launch Call. In-person candidates who meet the requirements are invited to a live 30-minute recruiter interview before onboarding.
