The benefits of being a part-time Huntington teacher include:

Training: We offer continual training that even experienced teachers appreciate. Huntington skills and techniques can be transferred to your classroom, as well as to home for use with your own children. Become a more effective teacher as you enhance your present skills and develop new ones.

Students: Work with a variety of students at all grade levels on an individual or one-to-one basis. As you track students daily progress, you will see marked improvement in their skills, confidence, and motivation. There are no discipline problems, so you concentrate on the academics.

No outside work: With no homework to correct or lesson plans to develop, you just walk into the Center and begin teaching. Everything is ready for you.

Year-round flexible hours: Our after-school and summer hours adapt to your changing schedule. Since no preparation is needed beforehand, it's an ideal after-school job that's even better than tutoring on your own.
