A family in Austin is seeking a warm, creative, and capable educator to lead a highly personalized home education program for their seven-year-old son. This role offers the opportunity to provide focused, individualized instruction tailored to one child's needs and learning style.

Responsibilities

Design and lead an individualized early elementary program, with a strong emphasis on explicit, systematic foundational reading instruction.
Establish starting points in reading, writing, math, and related skills, then use ongoing observations and work samples to guide teaching.
Select, adapt, and deliver agreed curriculum, including faith-based resources aligned with the family’s educational goals.
Teach through clear explanations, visual supports, demonstration, hands-on practice, and appropriate response formats.
Build a predictable daily rhythm with clear expectations, movement, sensory breaks, outdoor learning, and a purposeful return to instruction.
Incorporate art, music, stories, science, and the student’s interests into meaningful learning experiences.
Support practical independence through materials management, task completion, cleanup, games, and age-appropriate daily routines.
Plan and lead community learning experiences, such as library visits and practicing everyday interactions; provide occasional student transportation.
Maintain active supervision and follow agreed safety procedures during instruction, transitions, outdoor activities, and outings.
Document learning and communicate concise, useful updates about progress, strategies, challenges, and next steps.
Learn effective routines from the student’s established provider and collaborate with parents, household caregivers, and therapists as authorized.
Organize the learning environment and use dedicated planning time to prepare instruction and materials.

Degree in Elementary Education, Special Education, or a related field valued.
Current or prior state teaching license preferred.
Training in structured literacy, differentiated instruction, or related areas preferred.
At least three years of highly relevant teaching or educational experience; five or more years preferred.
Candidates with three to four years will be considered when their experience is closely aligned with foundational literacy, individualized teaching, and ASD students.
Demonstrated success teaching early reading and adapting instruction for different learning and communication needs.
Experience planning lessons, monitoring progress, and partnering directly with parents.
Experience with autism, ADHD, language differences, or sensory needs strongly valued.
Formal autism or ABA credentials are not required when the candidate demonstrates relevant teaching skill, sound judgment, and readiness to learn the student’s established supports.
Successful completion of Thrive’s background-check and reference process.
Current CPR and First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain before beginning.
Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and ability to meet Thrive’s student-transportation requirements.
Ability to supervise an active child and respond promptly to safety needs during indoor, outdoor, and community activities, with reasonable accommodation as appropriate.

Positive, consistent behavior support and the ability to maintain clear expectations with warmth.
Organization, initiative, professional communication, and sound judgment.
Comfort using digital tools for planning, documentation, and communication.
Ability to build trust through warmth, humor, curiosity, and consistent follow-through.
