Nurtured Learners is looking for a warm, engaging, and knowledgeable K–5 Elementary Tutor to join our team for the 2026–2027 school year.

We are a tutoring and educational advocacy center that provides individualized academic support to students in a welcoming, supportive environment. We are looking for an educator who can provide targeted instruction based on each student's individual needs.

Responsibilities:

* Provide individualized 1:1 tutoring to students in grades K–5
* Support students in reading, writing, and math
* Provide direct instruction and remediation
* Help students develop confidence, independence, and stronger academic skills
* Commit to working with assigned students consistently and providing continuity throughout the academic year

We would love to find someone who:

* Is a CT certified teacher
* Has strong knowledge of elementary reading, writing, and math instruction
* Understands how to differentiate instruction for students with varying learning needs
* Is patient, encouraging, reliable, and able to build strong relationships with children
* Is comfortable working with students who may have ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, learning disabilities, or other learning differences
* Can commit to a consistent weekly schedule for the school year

Experience with structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham, Fundations, special education, or intervention is a plus, but not required.

This is a part-time, after-school position at our Guilford center. Some virtual sessions possible.

We are especially interested in finding someone who is looking for a consistent position and wants to become part of the Nurtured Learners team, not someone seeking occasional or short-term tutoring work.

Nurtured Learners provides individualized academic tutoring, executive functioning coaching, test preparation, college planning support, and educational advocacy for children and families throughout the area.

If you are an educator who misses working individually with students, and would enjoy working with a small caseload in a supportive environment, we would love to hear from you.

Please send a resume and introduction describing your elementary teaching/tutoring experience and your availability for the upcoming school year to [email protected]

Due to increasing demand for executive functioning coaching, we are expanding our existing coaching program and adding an additional Executive Function Coach to our team.

Our students range from lower elementary through high school and present with a variety of learning profiles, including ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, and other learning differences.

Applicants must hold formal certification in Executive Function Coaching or ADHD Coaching.

In addition, candidates might possess one or more of the following:

Is warm, encouraging, and highly organized.
Enjoys building long-term relationships with students and families.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎓💚🐻

Summer is a break from school, but it’s also a transition. Some students thrive with the flexibility, while others benefit from a little structure to help them stay confident and connected to learning. ☀️

Who remembers the mama bird who built her nest in our hanging plant last summer? Looks like we are a popular spot- here we go again! We will have to let our plant die so we don’t disrupt nature. 🪺

Executive functioning skills are the “behind-the-scenes” brain skills that help kids manage school, emotions, routines, and everyday life. These struggles are not about intelligence. They are about skills that are still developing.

Executive functioning skills can be taught, practiced, and strengthened with the right support.

Summer doesn’t have to mean lost progress.

At Nurtured Learners, we work hard all year to help students build skills, confidence, and independence, and summer is the perfect time to maintain that momentum in a more relaxed, flexible way.

Our summer tutoring program is designed to meet families where they are:

- Flexible scheduling to work around vacations, camps, and summer plans

-Individualized instruction in all subject areas

- Support to reinforce skills, close gaps, or get ahead for the fall

- In-person and virtual sessions

New this summer: Orton–Gillingham intensive instruction with our certified specialist—ideal for students who need targeted, structured support in reading, spelling, and writing.

Whether your child needs a little consistency or more focused support, we’re here to help them head into the next school year feeling confident and prepared.

We are currently building our summer schedule!

If you’re thinking about summer support, we’d love to connect.
