• Possessing or in process of attaining a master’s degree in special education or a “relevant” area in education is preferred * All sessions are conducted in the student’s home
• The students range in age from 5th grade to college and, for the most part, have a verbal or non-verbal learning disability and/or ADHD
• Tutors will be hired as independent contractors
