What Sets Our Tutors Apart
Why certified teachers thrive at Kids on the Yard
We only hire state-certified teachers with classroom experience. You'll join a community of highly qualified educators—not high school students or subject enthusiasts. Every tutor brings real pedagogical expertise.
Experience the joy of working with individual students or small groups. No managing 30 students at once—just focused, personalized instruction where you see immediate results and build meaningful relationships.
Design lessons your way using proven methods you know work. Access our extensive curriculum library, resources, and assessments, but you're the expert who decides how to help each student succeed.
Earn $35-$65+ per hour based on your credentials and experience. We compensate you fairly for your expertise, with regular raises, performance bonuses, and opportunities to increase your rate.
Choose between online tutoring from home, in-person sessions at our centers, or a hybrid approach. Many tutors work entirely remotely, building successful practices from their home offices.
Set your availability and we match you with students who fit. Work 5 hours or 40 hours per week. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends—you decide. Perfect for parents, retirees, or anyone seeking balance.

Stories From Our Tutors
Certified teachers who made the transition
“After 15 years teaching 5th grade, I was burned out. Becoming a tutor at KOTY gave me back my love for teaching. I work 20 hours a week from home, earn more per hour than I did as a full-time teacher, and actually have energy for my own family. I see real progress with every student.”
“As a retired high school physics teacher, I wanted to keep teaching but on my terms. KOTY lets me work with motivated students who actually want to learn. I set my own schedule, use methods I know work, and get paid well for my expertise. It's teaching without the bureaucracy.”
“I'm a credentialed Spanish and ESL teacher with 8 years of classroom experience. Tutoring gives me the flexibility to raise my kids while using my skills. The one-on-one instruction is so rewarding—I can actually tailor every lesson to the student in front of me. This is what teaching should be.”
