WHO WE ARE
SpecialEdResource.com was founded on the belief that ALL children learn differently. Our tutors provide one-on-one online special education tutoring to families across the U.S., aligned to each child's IEP goals.
WHY TEACHERS CHOOSE US (VS. THE BIG PLATFORMS)
- W2 employment, not a 1099 gig: we pay the payroll taxes, you get a normal paycheck. Comparable to roughly $28/hr at the contractor platforms - with no quarterly-tax headaches.
- Your own recurring students: a consistent weekly schedule. No bidding, no marketplace lottery, no assignment droughts.
- You pick your hours: evenings and weekends welcome. Keep your day job, or don't have one - retired and returning teachers thrive here.
- 1:1 only: the teaching you got into this profession to do, without the meetings, paperwork, and classroom management.
- Paid prep and session-report time.
- A team that knows special education - it's all we do.
