Pre-School Private Teacher

Role Overview

A warm, thoughtful family is seeking an experienced early childhood educator to provide personalized, engaging learning support for their young son beginning in June in Miami.

This role is centered on helping a curious and energetic 3-year-old continue building strong foundational literacy and math skills through play-based, hands-on learning. The family is looking for someone who can bring warmth, structure, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm into the child’s daily routine while creating a learning experience he looks forward to each time.

The right educator will understand how to make early learning feel joyful, interactive, and developmentally appropriate. This is an opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with one child in a highly personalized setting where connection, consistency, and engagement matter just as much as academic growth.

Student Profile

You’ll be working 1:1 with a bright, curious 3-year-old who loves learning and responds well to engaging, interactive experiences. He is in the early stages of building foundational literacy and math skills and benefits from an educator who can hold his attention through creativity, movement, games, conversation, and hands-on activities.

The family values warmth, professionalism, structure, and positive communication. They are looking for someone who can become a trusted and consistent presence in their son’s routine — someone he is genuinely excited to see each session.

• Provide engaging 1:1 instruction tailored to a 3-year-old learner
• Support foundational early literacy and math development

• Bring creativity and energy to each session while maintaining calm, thoughtful structure
• Communicate proactively and positively with parents regarding progress, observations, and routines

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to do deeply personalized, relationship-driven work with a young child during an important season for his family. Rather than managing a classroom, you’ll have the ability to focus fully on one learner — creating engaging experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning.

For the right educator, this role offers the chance to become a meaningful and consistent part of a child’s world. The family is looking for someone who brings warmth, joy, professionalism, and presence — someone who can create the kind of learning experience a young child eagerly anticipates each week.
