Looking for an elementary school teacher, who can privately teach my 2 kids. If you are or know anyone who might be interested, or have any suggestions for where else I might search, please reach out!

As a tutor? A former teacher to teach your elementary age kids full time?

This is so vague. You need to say exactly what you are looking for. Is this for a tutor? Homeschool? Certain subjects? You left so much out.

A former teacher to teach my 2 elementary aged children for 2 hours per day, a full curriculum.

What time of day do you want this teaching to take place? And how old are the children?

A full curriculum in just two hours a day??? I smell a troll.

That’s illegal in some states. If you homeschool, the parent is supposed to do the teaching (or at least most of it). Otherwise they have to go to school.

Preferably mornings. Will be 6 and 8.

Not mine, but thanks.

It’s amazing how quickly lessons go when it’s 1-on-1 or 1-on-2.

You think kids who go to school are actually doing 6-7 hours of real instruction?

Getting everyone settled, lining up for bathroom breaks, waiting for disruptive students to stop whatever they’re doing, and the biggest one — gathering in small groups to color (or scroll on the iPad) while you wait for the teacher to get to your small group…

Public school students would be lucky to get two hours of focused, direct instruction.

OK, but you can't do two hours of focused, direct instruction, for two children, in a single two hour block. They're going to need a break in there, they need to do some work on their own, etc.

Completely agree. Homeschooling is awesome when done well! But no kid is sitting for two hours of straight instruction, even if their total school time ends up being that long. Breaks are needed.

But what an awesome gift to give a kid. More time to pursue their interests and play.
