Why Miami is a strong fit.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools is the fourth-largest district in the country.

MDCPS employs thousands of ESE (Exceptional Student Education) teachers across every disability category. The training and experience Miami teachers bring — particularly in bilingual special education, which is rare nationally — makes them exceptionally valuable to families seeking tutors who understand both language and learning differences.

Bilingual Spanish-English teachers are in high demand.

About 30% of the families we serve have Spanish as a home language. For many of these families, a tutor who can communicate with parents in Spanish — and who understands the cultural context of a Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, or Puerto Rican household — is strongly preferred. Miami teachers often have this combination of ESE training plus native-level Spanish that's genuinely rare in the national tutor pool.

Eastern time zone, evening availability.

Miami 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 — meaning you teach during your normal evening hours, not at odd times to accommodate other time zones.

The pay math, for a Miami 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.

Two paths into this for Miami teachers.

Currently teaching in MDCPS or surrounding districts

If you're in MDCPS, Broward, or any of the surrounding South Florida districts, your training and license set you up well. Most of our currently-teaching Miami 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. You don't drive anywhere; you're home from school and tutor from your dining room table.

Retired teacher in the Miami area

Whether you retired from a Florida district or moved to Miami from elsewhere, we want to talk. Miami has a large community of retired teachers from the Northeast and Midwest who relocated for the weather. As long as your special education license was active within the past five years anywhere in the country, you likely qualify.

Frequently asked questions from Miami teachers

I live in Hialeah / Coral Gables / Kendall / Homestead — does it matter?
No. Florida residency is what matters for tax and employment purposes. Specific city or neighborhood within Florida is irrelevant — online tutoring means location is invisible to the work.
Is being bilingual in Spanish required?
No. English fluency is required; Spanish is a strong plus but not a requirement. About 30% of our students come from Spanish-speaking households where a bilingual tutor is preferred, so Spanish-speaking tutors tend to get matched faster — but monolingual English speakers are hired and matched regularly.
Will Miami-Dade County Public Schools have an issue with this?
Like most large districts, MDCPS has moonlighting disclosure policies. Read your contract. Tutoring for a private out-of-state company in the evenings is generally permitted with disclosure. If you have specific concerns, talk to your union rep or HR before applying.
How does tutoring affect my Florida Retirement System pension?
Generally not at all if you retired from FRS — we're not an FRS-participating employer, so FRS return-to-work rules don't apply to us. Confirm with FRS at 844-377-1888 to be sure. See our full pension and tutoring guide for details.
How quickly can I start?
Two to three weeks from application. Background check, license verification, brief orientation, then student match.
Do you ever expand to other Florida cities?
We hire statewide already — every Florida resident with the right license qualifies regardless of city. Our metro pages exist because each metro has a distinct character we want to speak to directly.
