Thrive Education Partners·Nashville, Tennessee
Provide one-on-one academic tutoring to K-12 students in core subjects through recurring weekly sessions. Manage direct communication with families and track student progress while adapting teaching methods to individual learning styles.
What tutoring at Thrive looks like You'll work one-on-one with K-12 students across core academic subjects -- reading, writing, math, science, test prep, or whatever sits in your wheelhouse.
Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes, recurring weekly, with the same students over time.
This isn't a gig-by-gig marketplace where you're constantly starting over with new families.
When Thrive makes a match, it's built to last.
You'll communicate directly with the family, show up prepared, and track your student's progress over time.
We'll handle scheduling logistics, payment collection, and any friction that comes up on the family side.
Your job is to teach.
Sessions can be in-person, virtual, or a combination.
We have families across [metro area] and work with remote students nationwide.
Who does well here The tutors who thrive in our network tend to share a few things in common.
They show up consistently and on time.
They communicate clearly with families, in writing and in conversation.
They adapt to how a student learns rather than delivering the same lesson plan every week.
And they're genuinely invested in results, not just hours billed.
You don't need to be a former classroom teacher, though many of our tutors are.
What matters more is whether you can meet a student where they are, build trust with their family, and move them forward.

Compensation Tutors in the Thrive network earn $25 to $45 per hour, depending on subject area, experience, and session type. Pay is processed weekly.

The families we work with have high expectations, and we only make introductions when we're confident in the match. If you're accepted, that means something. We review applications on a rolling basis and reach out to strong candidates as matching opportunities arise. There's no single "open role" here -- we're building a pipeline of educators we trust.
Market context
Tutoring roles in Tennessee are often driven by ongoing academic support needs, especially for candidates who can provide direct instruction and communicate clearly in writing. Competition can be stronger for tutors with a bachelor’s degree, at least 2 years of experience, and availability for consistent weekly hours; flexible scheduling and administrative support can also make these roles more appealing.
