Bilingual Academic Tutor

Bilingual Academic Tutor & ABA Educational Support Specialist (Spanish/English Preferred)
About BlossomS Tutoring & ABA Services, LLC

BlossomS Tutoring & ABA Services, LLC is a growing educational organization committed to helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As a New York State and New York City Certified Minority and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE), we partner with schools and communities to provide high-quality academic intervention, enrichment programming, and ABA-informed educational support.

We are currently building a team of passionate bilingual educators for an anticipated after-school elementary school partnership in the Bronx.

Please Note: This position is contingent upon the successful award and execution of an anticipated school partnership contract.

Position Overview

BlossomS is seeking energetic, dependable, and student-centered bilingual (Spanish/English) professionals who are passionate about education and making a positive impact in children's lives.

Candidates will provide small-group academic instruction while supporting elementary-aged students in reading, writing, mathematics, and overall academic success.

Because many of the students and families we serve are Spanish-speaking, bilingual staff play an important role in supporting communication, student engagement, and family partnerships.

Depending on school needs and individual qualifications, selected staff may also provide ABA-informed educational support to students requiring additional behavioral, social-emotional, or executive functioning supports within the classroom.

This opportunity is ideal for college students, graduate students, aspiring teachers, and professionals pursuing careers in Education, Special Education, Psychology, Social Work, Child Development, Speech-Language Pathology, Counseling, or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Collaborate with school staff to promote positive behavioral and academic outcomes.

I actually like having two separate Handshake postings:

Academic Tutor & Student Success Specialist (open to all qualified candidates).

This will give you a broader applicant pool while making it much easier to identify bilingual candidates who are likely to be a strong fit for the students and families you'll be serving.
