About Franklin Educational Services

Franklin Educational Services offers personalized, one-on-one academic support and executive functioning coaching tailored for students with different learning styles, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, and anxiety. We emphasize building strong relationships to help students develop confidence, independence, and achieve lasting academic success.

Position Overview

We’re continually hiring warm, reliable in-person tutors to work 1:1 with children ages 3–11 in West Los Angeles. Sessions vary by family needs (after school, weekends, occasional daytime), so this role is ideal for educators who want flexible scheduling and meaningful work.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience supporting neurodivergent learners (special education, ABA, OT-informed strategies, behavior support, executive functioning, etc.), though this experience isn’t required.

Future Candidates will be considered for our 1:1 Summer Camp. 

What You’ll Do

Provide 1:1 tutoring for early learners in areas like:

• Pre-literacy and reading foundations (phonemic awareness, decoding, comprehension)
• Early math skills and number sense
• Handwriting/fine-motor support when needed
• Study habits and early executive functioning (routine, attention, transitions)
• Social Communication & Academic Enrichment 
• Executive Function & Interest-Based Learning 

Use positive reinforcement, structure, and developmentally appropriate, engaging activities

Adapt instruction to the child’s learning profile (including IEP/504 goals when applicable)

Support social-emotional growth alongside academics (confidence, frustration tolerance, flexibility)

Maintain brief session notes and progress updates

Communicate professionally with parents/guardians and the Franklin team

• Credentials/certifications (CA credential, RBT, BCaBA/BCBA, reading intervention training, OG-based training, etc.)

Schedule & Commitment

• Flexible scheduling based on family needs (weekday afternoons, evenings, weekends, and occasional daytime)
• This is an evergreen posting : we hire year-round
• Consistency matters—most placements are ongoing weekly sessions

Pay & Perks

• Competitive hourly compensation (based on experience/credentials)
