Tutor — Science, Academic Coaching & Specialized Support

About the Role

Tutor Doctor Chandler-Gilbert-Ahwatukee is hiring science tutors, academic coaches, and specialized-support tutors for in-home and online tutoring across the East Valley. Positions include physics, chemistry, biology, executive function coaching, special education support, and daytime homeschool tutoring. This role allows you to make a meaningful difference in students' lives without managing the business side of tutoring.

Pay & Compensation

• $20-$35 per hour base pay
• Up to $40 per hour for select students and specialized assignments
• Performance bonuses tied to student satisfaction, reliability, and other performance criteria
• Semi-monthly pay

Flexible scheduling with the ability to choose students whose availability matches yours.

Support & Benefits

Unlike online-only tutoring platforms, Tutor Doctor tutors are backed by a dedicated local team. We handle client acquisition, billing, family communication, scheduling coordination, and administrative logistics so you can focus on teaching.

• Ongoing support from a local team that knows you personally
• Detailed student notes, assessments, and instructional resources
• Professional autonomy without micromanagement
• Ability to build meaningful, long-term 1:1 relationships with students

Subjects & Specialties

We're hiring for the following areas:

• Science tutors — physics, chemistry, biology, nursing prerequisites
• Academic coaching — organization, study skills, time management
• Special education & neurodivergent student support — patient, individualized instruction
• Daytime homeschool tutoring — flexible daytime availability

Both generalist tutors and subject-matter specialists are encouraged to apply. Certified teachers, education professionals, and college-degree holders in STEM fields are especially welcome. Teaching credentials and experience supporting students with unique learning needs are valuable but not required for every position.

Requirements

• Current college enrollment or a completed college degree
• Background as a teacher, education professional, or subject-matter expert
• Ability to adapt instruction to different learning styles
• Reliability, professionalism, and consistent follow-through
• Reliable transportation for in-home tutoring assignments
• A genuine passion for education and student success

Schedule & Location

Tutoring jobs are available in Chandler, Gilbert, Ahwatukee/South Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and other East Valley communities. Both in-home and online/virtual tutoring options are available. Tutors set their own preferred cities, travel radius, subjects, and availability.
