Part-Time Tutor (High School Essay Writing)
About Us
At Joyfully Learning & the Greer Meister Group, we believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun. We provide our students with an unparalleled level of support and engagement through our strengths-based approach to one-on-one tutoring. We meet children where they are, and we connect learning to each child’s interests. Every child we work with is heard and respected, and parents are empowered to advocate for how their children learn best.
We believe that kids deserve joy in learning and that there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a child’s “Aha!” moment when they make a learning breakthrough.
The tutors on our team have diverse interests and pursuits, and we nurture a culture of supporting each other’s work both as tutors and outside of tutoring. Whether it's through dance, drawing, storytelling, baking, or something entirely new, our tutors are empowered to bring their passions and pursuits to their work on our team to help our students thrive.
About the Role

- Our team brings beautifully diverse experiences to our work, and we love supporting each other’s work outside of tutoring! We have tutors on our team who are authors, scientists, journalists, visual artists, dancers, actors, musicians, private and public school teachers, college professors, and more.
