AP020 - Part-Time Tutor - Larchmont, NY

Overview

A family in the New York area is seeking a warm, engaging, and experienced Part-Time Academic Tutor to provide academic support to their two high-school-aged children, with the primary focus being their 14-year-old daughter, who is currently in ninth grade.

The ideal candidate will be a strong all-rounder, comfortable assisting with homework across a range of high school subjects while helping the student develop stronger organisational skills, effective study habits, and greater independence in managing her academic workload.

The ninth grader is a bright and capable student who generally achieves A and B grades. She has ADHD and is finding the transition to high school somewhat challenging, particularly when it comes to organisation, time management, and planning ahead for assignments and larger projects.

The family is hoping to find someone who can build a positive relationship with their daughter, provide consistent academic guidance, and support her throughout her high school years.

The schedule will be three days per week, for two hours per session, ideally between Monday and Thursday. The family's preference is for approximately 7pm-9pm, although they can offer flexibility to include earlier hours for the right candidate.
