Overview

Thrive Education Partners is seeking an exceptional full-time Private Teacher to join a hardworking Summerlin family. This professional educator will work with one 13 (almost 14) year old young man in a personalized homeschool environment that blends academic excellence and with hands-on experiential learning.

The family resides in Summerlin just outside of Las Vegas in a quiet, residential neighborhood.

The ideal candidate is an experienced and proven educator who has the ability to teach learners with severe ADHD. This professional should be warm, caring, kind and pleasant to work with while also maintaining structure and boundaries. This is a role for a teacher who can quickly determine learning gaps and work with the student to fill them. This student has been successful in settings with 1:1 attention, frequent breaks, efficient use of time and lessons that highlight real-life application. The family is looking for a true expert who is passionate, patient, and inspiring while also firm and structured.

About the Student

• Grade: 7 (ideally moving to 8 as soon as possible)
• Academics: Many learning gaps in foundational concepts in math, reading, spelling and grammar. Enjoys history, current events and some science concepts. The student lacks confidence in his abilities and often shuts-down when pushed. Years of unpleasant school experiences have weakened his academic performance, stamina, motivation and general beliefs about himself as a learner.
• Learning Needs: Foundational assessments will be needed to determine exact gaps in learning in most core subject areas (specifically math and reading comprehension). The student will need support through tools and strategies to deal with unmedicated ADHD including frequent breaks, a schedule that is broken into short chunks of time and lots of redirection/refocus from the teacher. Multi-sensory methods will be important.
• Personality: Typical teenager who enjoys video games, e-bikes + dirt biking, socializing with friends and relaxing at home. He can lack motivation at times but does want to please and gets excited when things "click" and experiences success. Works hard in short increments.

Responsibilities

• Deliver engaging, focused instruction across core subjects (Math, Literature, Writing, Science, History, etc ) tailored to student's current ability level and interests following Nevada state standards for grade 7 (and beyond as appropriate).
• Implement and adapt individualized curriculum plan that integrates subject area teachings and real-world learning experiences with focus on bridging the current learning gaps and strengthening areas of foundational weakness.
• Lead, facilitate or guide daily "elective" experiences such as physical movement/weightlifting, art, music and other interests. Specific subject mastery is not required but any relevant experience is a plus (instrument skills, artistic abilities, personal hobbies, etc)
• Incorporate project-based and experiential learning through field trips and utilizing community resources
• Maintain strong structure, systems, and routines that promote independence and accountability
• Track academic progress through ongoing assessment and share results with parents and consultant (if applicable)
• Collaborate with the educational consultant (if applicable) to refine curriculum, set goals, and ensure continued academic challenge
• Communicate proactively with parents, providing updates, feedback, and recommendations
• Manage academic logistics (materials, lesson plans, scheduling, and records)

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Special Education/Middle Grades Education or a related field
• Expertise in curriculum standards and experience with a variety of teaching resources
• Minimum 8 years of classroom or private teaching experience
• Proven ability to work with ADHD learners
• Skilled in differentiated instruction and individualized curriculum design
• Exceptional communication, organization, and leadership skills
• High degree of professionalism, discretion, and integrity
• Must successfully pass a background check and sign an NDA prior to employment

Schedule

• Approximately 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, 4–5 days per week
• Additional planning and communication time as needed
• Flexibility in schedule as needed/prior communication and approval required.
