Our process includes a search fee to begin your customized private educator search and a placement fee due only after your teacher has signed their contract.

Initial Search fee: $5,500
Credited to your final placement fee. Includes up to 8 candidate interviews.
This fee reserves our team’s time for a highly customized private educator search and reflects the depth of work involved in recruiting exceptional teachers. We draw from trusted referrals, our personal network of educators, and targeted outreach rather than generic job boards, allowing us to identify, vet, and compete for rare educators who can meet your child’s academic, emotional, and developmental needs.

Placement fee: 18% of annual salary
The placement fee is due once your teacher has signed their contract. This includes a customized teacher contract, payroll guidance, a custom learning plan, curriculum and schedule recommendations, as well as quarterly learning specialist check-ins.

Your search fee is credited toward the final placement fee.

Most full-time private homeschool teachers earn $150,000–$250,000 per year, with master teachers earning $350,000+ for highly specialized or demanding roles. To attract and retain excellent educators, we do not accept offers below $85,000 per year.

Finding a truly exceptional homeschool teacher is an intensive, highly competitive process. We are not simply filling a role; we are recruiting, vetting, and supporting an educator who can build a meaningful learning environment for your child and stay with your family long enough to make a real impact.

Your child’s emotional and physical safety is our first priority. That’s why Modulo has partnered with Cassandra Harner, founder of the Natural Nanny Collective and Safe Sitters, to lead a rigorous vetting process that includes background checks, reference checks, and careful evaluation of each educator’s experience, judgment, and fit. You’ll receive the full 14-step safety process in the welcome guide when you schedule your consultation.

We do not accept self-submissions. Teachers must be referred by a parent, employer, or trusted contact, and because our process is extremely selective, we are only able to move forward with a very small number of referred candidates.
