It started in 2020 by making educational videos, before branching out into live online tutoring. As opposed to teaching lessons, Bansho tutorials are primarily focused around homework help for North American students in grades K2-8, and take place via Zoom<\/a>. Tutors (or ‘Learning Partners’ as Bansho calls them) are expected to ‘work with parents and students to identify specific gaps in learning and areas for long-term improvement in literacy, mathematics and executive functioning’.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Much Does Bansho Pay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Bansho pay<\/strong> rate is $15-25 per hour, depending on the length of the session (sessions can last anywhere between 15-60 minutes, as determined by the needs of the student and their parents). <\/p>\n\n\n\nTutors\/Learning Partners are financially compensated for some of their time corresponding with and giving feedback to parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInvoices must be submitted at the end of each month before the Bansho salary is paid around the following 10th of the month via bank transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are no financial penalties or cancelation fees for teachers (you are expected to reschedule), and half-pay is received if a student’s parents cancel their child’s tutorial less than 24 hours beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBansho Tutoring Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBansho tutoring hours are primarily in evenings after school and at weekends (US time zones), though sessions are scheduled for the day time during holiday periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBansho tutorial sessions vary in length, depending on the child’s needs in agreement with the parents. Typically, they are either 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes long.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInstead of opening up available hours, as is the case with most teaching companies, Bansho Learning Partners\/Tutors instead block off their UNAVAILABLE hours in a Google Calendar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile there is no minimum hours commitment, Bansho expects its Learning Partners to manage between 5-25 students and their parents. There may be 1-3 sessions a week with the same student, depending on their specific learning goals. The company matches tutors with families, though you have the option of declining any students that you are offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBansho Learning Partners\/Tutors must also be available to answer any questions via text when needed, and provide supplemental resources and support for the parents. Some of this correspondence and feedback time is financially compensated.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAny tutor cancelations must be rescheduled (without penalty), while you will receive half-pay if a parent cancels within 24 hours of a session.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBansho Tutoring Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo become a Bansho Learning Partner\/Tutor, you must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBe from the USA or Canada<\/li>\n\n\n\nPossess a Bachelor’s degree<\/li>\n\n\n\nHave prior teaching or tutoring experience<\/li>\n\n\n\nExcel at teaching in a virtual setting<\/li>\n\n\n\nBe able to present a clean, professional virtual setting on a computer with a reliable internet connection, webcam, and microphone<\/li>\n\n\n\nHave a solid understanding of child education, social-emotional learning and family engagement strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\nBe able to quickly develop rapport with children and parents, and approach educational problem-solving and planning with empathy and creativity<\/li>\n\n\n\nPass a comprehensive background check<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also preferred (but not essential) that you possess a US teaching certification and have a minimum of 3 years virtual and\/or classroom teaching experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBansho Tutoring Application Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo apply for Bansho jobs, visit their website<\/a> and complete the application form<\/a> by submitting the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFull name<\/li>\n\n\n\nEmail address<\/li>\n\n\n\nPhone number<\/li>\n\n\n\nResume<\/li>\n\n\n\nCover letter<\/li>\n\n\n\nDescribe your experience teaching both literacy and mathematics for K-2, 3-5, and\/or 6-8.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAre you working as a traditional classroom teacher (in-person or hybrid) during the 2021-2022 school year?

The pay is good, there are no penalties, and correspondence\/feedback time is compensated. Regular, longer-term students can be nice, but they do reduce flexibility from week to week. This is only an opportunity for teachers in the US and Canada, however, and you must be comfortable with part-time hours, alongside another job elsewhere, and devising bespoke tutorials for elementary-middle school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can apply to<\/strong> Bansho <\/strong>here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA full list of other online teaching companies<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> can be found here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n\n
