The average hourly pay rate for homeschool teachers near you in South Portland, ME is $21.38. It’s important to keep in mind that this is just the average going rate in your location. Many factors can influence how much private homeschool teachers charge. For example, how many children you have, the subjects you want the homeschool teacher to specialize in, and their degree or years of working experience, can all play a role in how they set their rates.
How can I find private teachers for homeschooling near me in South Portland, ME?
If you’re not certain how to find homeschool teachers, you can use Care.com to make your search for a homeschool teacher near you in South Portland, ME easier and more efficient. To start, you can narrow your search to homeschool teachers in your general area. Then you can review rates, look for homeschooling teachers who have reviews from current or former clients, and can read different profiles to learn more about each teacher’s experience.
What types of services do homeschool teachers near me in South Portland, ME offer?
Homeschooling teachers near you in South Portland, ME offer a wide variety of educational services. Some homeschool teachers that come to your house may provide full-day instruction and design lesson plans.

How can I safely hire homeschooling teachers near me in South Portland, ME?
While we ask all homeschool teachers listed on Care.com to complete a CareCheck (you can see which providers completed one by looking for the badge on their profile), this is just a jumping off point. To feel comfortable that the homeschool teacher you’re hiring is safe, we recommend you take additional steps to ensure safety. For example, you can run an independent background check and request professional references when hiring a homeschool teacher near you in South Portland, ME.
What interview questions should I ask when hiring a homeschool teacher near me in South Portland, ME?
When you want to hire a homeschool teacher near you in South Portland, ME, it’s a good idea to interview a handful of different candidates.
