Hello Special Programs staff! If you are interested in making a few extra dollars this spring (and overall, long term) we are in desperate need for Home Tutors. If you have any interest please reach out to Josh Marks via email or phone for specific details.

We have two students who may need a tutor in a week or two (so a quick turnaround) to replace their current tutor. One is 1 x a week, the other 3 xs a week though we’re hoping parent/student can be flexible. These two would be until the end of this school year.

Thank you.
