One student, one session
Each session is you and one student, live on Zoom, usually for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. You decide which students you want to work with. You choose and adapt materials for each student, because every child differs. After each session you write session notes, and SpecialEdResource provides AI summary tools that make note-writing mostly copy and paste.
In a tutor’s own words
I enjoy working one-on-one with students and helping them build both academic skills and confidence. Each session is a little different, and I use interactive activities, games, rewards, and individualized strategies to keep students engaged and make learning feel fun. I also appreciate the support and flexibility I receive, which allows me to focus on meeting each student where they are.

Questions and answers
Can I apply if I live in Oklahoma?
Do I need an Oklahoma teaching certificate to tutor with you?
I retired from teaching in Oklahoma. What do the TRS rules say?
The Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (TRS) says, in its FY2027 Member Handbook (page 28):
Other than disability retirement, there are no restrictions on post-retirement employment with an agency or institution that does not participate in TRS.
SpecialEdResource is a private company with no paid work from any Oklahoma public school, technology center, public college or state agency. As we read TRS’s rules, W-2 tutoring for SpecialEdResource is work for an employer that does not participate in TRS. If you retired by disability and are under your normal retirement age (62 or 65, depending on when you joined TRS), TRS requires you to notify it before you start any job, and pay above your final average salary minus your yearly disability benefit reduces that benefit. Confirm your own situation with TRS; our guide to TRS return-to-work rules has the details.
