  • Teachers are trained professionals with graduate-level education. They teach in-home, 4-5 hours per day, 4-5 days per week.

    Teachers are screened for their educational backgrounds, work experience, and excellent references. We get to know our teachers’ preferences to make the right match with families.

    Professional teachers are replacing total annual compensation packages of $60,000 - $100,000+, and charge $50-100 per hour. Compensation, hours, benefits, and taxes are negotiated directly between families and educators.

  • Tutors have subject matter expertise and provide in-person instruction in 1-hour sessions, 1-2 days per week, in specialized subjects and skill-building areas.

    We evaluate tutors for their education, experience and references, and refer to families based on skills, abilities, and logistics including location and availability.

    Private tutors generally charge $50-$130 per hour based on skills, experience, and to accommodate for travel logistics. Compensation, hours, benefits, and taxes are negotiated directly between families and educators.

  • Enrichment specialists have experience in activities including sports, art, music, and other non-academic recreational activities for all ages. They typically provide enrichment 1-2 hours per day, 1-3 days per week. These services are generally in-person but may also be online.

    Specialists are evaluated based on their experiences and interests. They may be enrolled in high school, college, recent college graduates, and/or people who enjoy working with children.

    Enrichment specialists typically charge $40-80 per hour for in-person support and $30-60 per hour for remote support. Compensation, hours, benefits, and taxes are negotiated directly between families and educators.

  • Champions are mentors who partner with students virtually to support them with executive functioning skills and academics.

    Executive function is the mental process that allows us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and multitask successfully. We aren’t born with these skills; some people need more support than others in developing these skills. This is where WEC Champions come in. The aim of the Champion Program is to provide support in developing these executive function skills.

    Champions meet virtually with their matched students 3 times per week, helping to manage syllabi and assignments, support in completing and turning in work on time, and assist with test prep and organization. More importantly, Champions model confidence, competence, and character in getting this work done. Students learn by example. Through the modeling of their WEC Champion, children feel connected in their work, build self-esteem, perform better academically & socially, and no longer battle with parents over schoolwork.

    Each session with a Champion is $35-$50.

  • Academic coaches provide in-home educational support to students to assist with schoolwork. They generally coach in-person, 3-5 hours per day, 3-5 days per week.

    Academic coaches are evaluated based on their experiences and interests, and references. They may be enrolled in college, recent college graduates, and/or people who enjoy working with children.

    Academic coaches generally charge $20-35 per hour, based on skills, experience, and hours. Compensation, hours, benefits, and taxes are negotiated directly between families and educators.
