Private Pre-K Teacher – Bilingual Spanish/English – Hockley, TX (Houston)Role Overview

A warm, education-minded family in Hockley, Texas, just outside Houston, is seeking a private Pre-K teacher to work one-on-one with their 4-year-old daughter in a thoughtful, home-based learning environment.

Student Profile

You’ll be working with a bright, articulate 4-year-old girl who is curious, eager to learn, and excited to begin a consistent routine with a dedicated 1:1 teacher.

The family would like to see growth in Pre-K readiness skills, especially fine-motor development, handwriting, independence, confidence, early reading, and early writing.
