Online special education tutoring jobs in Jacksonville
Northeast Florida teachers — portable work that moves with you.
Jacksonville-area licensed special education teachers — work from home, 5 to 10 hours a week, $23–$25 an hour as a W-2 employee. No state income tax. No IEPs. Direct deposit on the 5th and 20th. Military spouses especially welcome — this job travels with you as long as you stay in Florida. Plus performance bonuses you can earn every pay period — paid on the same 5th-and-20th cycle.
Why Jacksonville is a strong fit.
Duval County Public Schools is one of Florida's largest districts.
DCPS serves over 120,000 students and employs thousands of ESE teachers. Add in Clay, St. Johns, Nassau, and Baker counties, and Northeast Florida has a deep pool of trained special education teachers. The experience teachers build in these systems — particularly in high-need schools — translates directly to effective one-on-one tutoring.
Jacksonville has a large military community with teacher spouses.
NAS Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport, and the surrounding military installations mean Jacksonville has a significant population of military spouses — many of whom are licensed teachers who struggle to find stable employment that survives a PCS. Online tutoring is portable work. As long as you stay in Florida (or move to Tennessee), you can keep tutoring with us regardless of where your spouse is stationed.
Growing transplant population from the Northeast.
Jacksonville has absorbed a steady inflow of families from New York, New Jersey, and other Northeast states over the past decade. Many are teachers who relocated for cost of living or weather. If you held a license in another state and obtained Florida certification through reciprocity, you're a strong fit.
Eastern time zone, evening availability.
Jacksonville is in Eastern time, which lines up perfectly with our students' after-school window. Most sessions run between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. local time.
The pay math, for a Jacksonville tutor.
$24/hr × 8 hours/week × 52 weeks = $9,984/year
Florida has no state income tax — your gross-to-net ratio is about as favorable as it gets in the U.S.
After federal tax and FICA at part-time rates, expect to keep roughly $7,500–$8,500 net annually. That works out to about $145 a week on average, with paydays on the 5th and 20th. For a military family, that's meaningful supplemental income that doesn't depend on your spouse's duty station.
Two paths into this for Jacksonville teachers.
Currently teaching in DCPS or surrounding districts
If you're in DCPS, Clay, St. Johns, or any of the surrounding Northeast Florida districts, your training and license set you up well. Most of our currently-teaching Jacksonville tutors work 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on two weeknights — about six hours per week, $144/week on average, with paydays on the 5th and 20th.
Military spouse or retired teacher
If you're a military spouse with a teaching license (from any state, now Florida-certified), or a retired teacher who moved to Jacksonville, we want to talk. As long as your special education license was active within the past five years anywhere in the country and you're now a Florida resident, you likely qualify.
