One student is a highly creative learner who enjoys music, engineering-style building projects, and sports. They thrive when challenged and will benefit from advanced math instruction alongside support for organization and executive functioning.

• Compensation: $60–$70 per hour , depending on experience.
• Scheduling Flexibility: Schedule coordinated with the family

Key Responsibilities

• Design engaging, individualized math lessons that challenge each student beyond grade-level expectations.
