About The Position

Thrive Education Partners is seeking a Private Tutor for a rising 2nd grader in Dallas. This is an enrichment role, focusing on strengthening math and reading/writing skills beyond the standard curriculum. The student is described as curious, energetic, chatty, and playful, learning best when sessions are fun. The tutor will conduct in-home sessions twice a week (one math, one reading/writing, approximately 60 minutes each) starting around the beginning of the school year.

• Strong written communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with rigorous private schools is a strong plus.
• Upbeat, animated, and comfortable with a chatty, high-energy child.
• Able to redirect gently without dampening enthusiasm.
• Good at weaving in student interests — pop culture, art, storytelling — to make the work land.
• Familiarity with Beast Academy, Art of Problem Solving-style thinking, Singapore-style math, or similar enrichment approaches is ideal.

Responsibilities

• Reinforce grade-level math concepts with strong conceptual teaching, extending thinking through creative problem-solving.
• Familiarize the student with math concepts using enrichment approaches like Beast Academy, Art of Problem Solving, or Singapore Math.
• Help the student see math as interesting and confidence-building.
• Build comprehension, vocabulary, and early writing confidence in reading and writing.
• Use the student's interests (humor, storytelling, art) as an entry point for learning.
• Reinforce habits such as reading directions carefully, explaining thinking, and communicating clearly.
• Keep learning playful and creative.
• Communicate effectively and professionally with parents.

Benefits

• Compensation of $50–$70 per hour, depending on experience, private-school familiarity, and fit.
