Thinking of Homeschooling? Start With the Right Teacher.
Your child deserves more than crowded classrooms, virtual instructors, and curriculum designed for the masses. We’ll match you with a dedicated, full-time educator who fits your child’s needs.
When Traditional Schooling No Longer Fits Your Lifestyle and Goals, You Know Something Needs to Change.
The Thriving Change
Because what was working, isn’t working anymore. The burnout, the boredom, the blank stares after school. The curriculum doesn’t fit. The pace feels off. The joy? Gone. Thrive helps you reclaim control by placing an experienced educator in your home, aligned with your child’s needs and family values. It’s not just a better education. It’s a better way to live and learn.

Why Families Choose Thrive’s Private Teacher Placements?
Parent of 11th-Grader
Every product I have purchased is thoughtful and perfect. Love this shop and the way the products make having a medical condition seem “normal” to a child.
Parent of 3rd-Grader
When we started with our Thrive tutor lastAugust, our son was earning Cs or less across the board. He ended this past school year with almost all As and one B. The best part though is his newly found confidence and desire to do well in school.
Parent of 3rd-Grader
My daughter is 8 years old, and she has struggled with reading since I can remember. We started with Thrive Tutoring about six months ago when the school told us she was behind. Since then, we have seen a vast improvement. She is starting 3rd grade on grade level or ahead. Even bedtime story reading was like pulling teeth, but now she asks us to read every night. We’ve seen a night and day difference in her.
Parent of 11th-Grader
Math has been a endless struggle for my son. For years, it just didn’t click for him, and he had gotten quite far behind. I wished I had reached out sooner to get help. Our tutor has been game changing for him. He is doing well in math for the first time, and he actually enjoys it. Our tutor has also made math homework and studying for tests much less stressful than it used to be.
Common questions families ask?
What qualifications do your tutors have?
Most of our tutors have at least a Master’s Degree in teaching/education or in their specific content field, and most of our tutors have been teaching for 5 years or more.
Is this online or in-person?
All of our tutoring is in-person. We come to you whether that’s your home, your child’s school, or a nearby library. It’s face-to-face, consistent, and personal.
How long before we see results?
Many families notice a difference like reduced stress or improved focus within a few sessions. Academic gains can vary, but we aim for steady, lasting progress that builds week by week.
What if the tutor isn’t the right fit?
We check in regularly to make sure things feel right. If they don’t, we’ll make a change quickly and thoughtfully. No awkwardness, no hassle, just the right match.
Can you help with my school’s curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are familiar with both public and private school expectations, and tailor sessions to align with your child’s current coursework and classroom goals.
How flexible is scheduling?
Very. We work around your family’s schedule mornings, evenings, weekends, even travel days. There are no contracts or minimums, just the support you need, when you need it.
What is Private Teacher Placement?
Private Teacher Placement is a service for families seeking a dedicated, full-time or part-time educator to support in-home education. Thrive recruits, vets, and helps place experienced professional teachers, then supports onboarding and long-term success.
How is Private Teacher Placement different from tutoring?
Tutoring supports a student alongside school, and tutors are hourly contractors. Private Teacher Placement provides a full-time or part-time dedicated educator who designs and delivers a student’s core academic program—usually replacing traditional schooling.
What kinds of families is this best suited for?
This model works well for families pursuing homeschool or hybrid education, children who need a highly individualized learning environment, gifted learners, students with learning differences, or families seeking more flexibility than traditional school allows.
Are teachers employees of Thrive or the family?
This depends on the management tier you choose. Some families serve as the employer of record, while others prefer Thrive to manage employment, payroll, and compliance. We walk families through the options and help determine the best fit.
How long does the placement process take?
Most placements take 8-10 weeks, depending on role complexity, schedule, location, and compensation range. Highly specialized placements may take longer. Ultimately, our number one goal is finding the perfect fit, even if it takes a bit longer than the average placement time. For us, fit is everything!
Do families interview teachers before fully committing?
Yes. Families review curated candidate profiles and interview top candidates before moving forward with a hire. Trial weeks are strongly encouraged prior to a long-term commitment.
Does Thrive stay involved after the teacher is placed?
Yes, families may opt into ongoing educational management, which can include progress monitoring, curriculum planning support, teacher coaching, and regular family check-ins.
What qualifications do private teachers typically have?
Most private teachers are certified educators with classroom experience, advanced degrees, or specialized expertise (e.g., learning differences, structured literacy certification, gifted education, or project-based learning).
Can a private teacher work with multiple children?
Yes. Many families hire one private teacher to work with siblings.
What does a typical school day look like?
There is no one-size-fits-all model. Programs are designed collaboratively and may include core academics, enrichment, experiential learning, fieldwork, and flexible scheduling.
