Part-Time Tutor
Part-Time In-Person Tutor Wanted — Newark, DE Homeschool Group
Position Type: Part-time, in-person tutoring
Location: Newark, DE area (public library or community center — exact site TBD based on tutor availability and room reservations)
Ideal Candidate: Current University of Delaware undergraduate or graduate student
About the Position
A small, secular homeschool group in the Newark area is seeking a patient, engaging tutor to work with one 11-year-old student (5th/6th grade level), with the possibility of adding a few more homeschooled students of similar age in the near future. This is a wonderful opportunity for an education, English, history, or science major to gain hands-on, low-ratio teaching experience while helping shape a young learner's academic foundation.
We use a Waldorf-inspired curriculum to guide lesson planning, so there is already a strong framework in place.
Subjects Needed
- Language Arts
- Social Studies
- US & World History
- Openness to additional subjects is a plus: Math, Science, or Test Prep
Schedule
Flexible and built around the tutor's availability. Please share your general weekly availability (days/times) so we can coordinate a consistent, recurring schedule that works for everyone.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled UD student (undergraduate or graduate)
- Major in Elementary/Middle School Education, English, History, Science, or a related field preferred, but not required
- Experience working with children ages 10–13 (tutoring, babysitting, camp counseling, classroom assistant, or similar)
- Reliable, patient, and comfortable creating engaging, age-appropriate lesson content
- Comfortable working from a provided curriculum while also bringing creativity to lesson delivery
Compensation
Hourly Rate
Undergraduate student, limited formal experience
$20–$25/hr
