You'll deliver services on‑site at one or more schools in Manhattan, with placements decided by student requirements. Weekly hours depend on IESP mandates; your caseload may differ by placement. Generally ~20‑30 hours/week depending on assignments.

$60−$100 per hour (1099). Pay rate differs by group size and placement. One‑on‑one IESP sessions generally start at $60 per hour. For this particular case we seek someone ready to provide one‑to‑one support with a student who has numerous mandated hours.
