BookNook’s application process has two parts. The first part should take 10 minutes or less and includes short questions about your qualifications, schedule, and grade and subject matter preferences.
After we review your application, you’ll receive an email indicating whether you’ve been invited to the second part of the process which is a one-way video interview. In BookNook’s one-way video interview, we’ll ask you a few questions over video, and you record your answers over video. We will also ask you to conduct a three-minute (or less) teaching sample to the camera. Recording your videos will be as simple as clicking a link and recording from your phone or computer camera and microphone.

BookNook tutors are independent contractors paid an hourly rate $18/hour plus potential program by program bonuses.

Tutors work with students K-8 in groups of up to four from BookNook’s school district partners. Kids are grouped by skill level, so you may teach students of different ages but all within the same skill level.
You can sign up for tutoring sessions for the skill/grade level you’re most comfortable teaching.
In each session, you’ll tutor groups of up to four students simultaneously. Tutoring sessions are 30 minutes each.
BookNook’s platform is designed to teach groups synchronously and is based on research showing that group learning and human interaction lead to the best outcomes.
