Tutor Experience

Boost your income

Tutoring with BookNook lets you supplement your income while making a real impact on students’ lives. Tutors earn $18-20/hour with potential for program-by-program bonuses, and typically work between 1.5 and 10 hours a week—no minimum hours required.

Set your schedule

BookNook’s partnerships around the country—with Los Angeles Unified, Texas Education Agency, Detroit Public Schools, and many more—provide meaningful work for our tutors. Each district program is 8-16 weeks with breaks in between. You pick the ones that work for you.

Flex your hours

Once you’re contracted to tutor forBookNook, you get to choose how much you work: sign up for one or more 8–16-week tutoring opportunities, take a break for a season and come back, or simply pick up substitute hours whenever you like.

Scheduling

The BookNook team creates small student groups and schedules tutoring sessions. Tutors who match the criteria for each series will be alerted via email of a tutoring series offer. Tutors will have 12 hours to accept or decline the offer. Additionally, substitute appointments are available at various times of the day (sometimes even the day of the appointment!). Tutors can login and accept these appointments at any time.

Sessions

Each tutoring opportunity is a series of 30-40 minute sessions, 2–5 times per week for 8–16 weeks. You’ll work with the same group of 1–4 students throughout the program to provide consistency.

Hours

Our tutors generally work between 1.5 to 29.5 hours per week during U.S. daytime hours (8am–8pm EST). Tutors can take on multiple opportunities simultaneously and may experience gaps between programs.

Compensation

Tutors earn $18-20/hour. We make payments via direct deposit twice per month and provide reimbursements for background check expenses and BookNook Certification time (2.5 hours). As an independent contractor for BookNook, you’ll receive a Form-1099 at the end of each tax year and are responsible for self-employment tax filings with the IRS.
