Neptune Beach, FL Position Type:

W-2, approximately 20 instructional hours per week We're looking for a thoughtful, experienced private educator to work one-on-one with a bright, active middle school student in a personalized learning environment. This role is about much more than getting through assignments. The goal is to help the student rebuild confidence, strengthen core academic skills, and reconnect with the curiosity and joy that make learning feel meaningful. The right educator will bring warmth, structure, humor, and strong instructional judgment. You'll have the opportunity to design a school experience that feels both academically grounded and personally relevant, blending core middle school instruction with hands-on projects, real books, community-based learning, and interest-driven enrichment. This is a strong fit for an educator who enjoys the depth of 1:1 teaching, values relationships, and knows how to help a student feel capable without lowering expectations. Student Profile You'll be working with a 12-year-old middle school student who is social, funny, quick-witted, athletic, and deeply engaged in the world around her. She is especially passionate about flag football, animals, marine science, biology, shells, sharks, and outdoor adventure. She is not a student who needs a hyper-accelerated academic program, but she is bright, capable, and motivated when learning feels relevant and well-taught. Academically, she has historically been strong in reading, vocabulary, verbal expression, and writing, though written composition and organization may need more direct support. Math is generally solid, but she benefits from clear explanation, patient instruction, and enough time to truly understand concepts rather than simply prepare for the next test. She can be hard on herself when something does not come easily, and one of the major goals of this placement is to reduce comparison, build perseverance, and help her experience herself as a capable learner again. What You'll Do Provide personalized middle school instruction across core academic subjects, including language arts, math, science, and social studies. Help the student build true understanding of what she is learning, rather than relying on memorization or short-term test preparation. Support writing development, including idea generation, organization, sentence structure, and clear written expression. Use a blended curriculum approach that includes thoughtful technology use, paper-based work, real books, hands-on learning, and project-based enrichment. Incorporate the student's interests, especially animals, marine science, biology, outdoor learning, and practical real-world topics, into academic planning when appropriate. Create consistent routines and clear expectations while maintaining a warm, encouraging, and upbeat learning environment. Collaborate with Thrive's educational management support to help implement curriculum, monitor progress, and maintain a strong academic portfolio. Communicate regularly and professionally with the family about progress, observations, challenges, and next steps. What Makes Someone Successful You are a skilled educator who can be both warm and structured, building trust while keeping learning purposeful and productive. You explain concepts clearly and patiently, and you do not make students feel like a burden when they need extra support. You bring positive energy, humor, and flexibility without losing sight of academic goals. You know how to support a student who may get frustrated, compare herself to others, or want to quit when something feels difficult. You enjoy designing learning around a student's interests and can make academics feel more connected to real life. You are professional, discreet, dependable, and comfortable working in a private-family setting.
