I've been coming across a lot of different online tutoring jobs lately! Today, I have a BookNook review for you — one company that is actively looking for tutors to work at home right now.
In this blog post, we'll talk about what it means to be a BookNook tutor and what you can expect to earn.
What is BookNook?
BookNook is an online tutoring platform that provides virtual reading instruction to children in grades K-8. The program is designed to help students improve their reading skills and build a strong foundation in literacy.
What Do You Do as a BookNook Tutor?
As a BookNook tutor, you will work in groups of 1-4 students to provide instruction that meets their needs.
You'll use the platform's online tools to track progress, provide feedback, and communicate with parents and teachers.
Can You Work From Anywhere With BookNook?
One of the benefits of working with BookNook is that you can work from anywhere in the US with an internet connection.
This makes BookNook a great option for people who are already educators who would like the flexibility to work from home or while traveling.
Unfortunately, BookNook appears to only be open to US residents at this time.
How Much Does BookNook Pay?
According to their website, tutors can earn $18 hourly with potential for bonuses.
As you gain more experience and receive positive feedback from students and parents, you may be eligible for higher pay rates.
BookNook pays its tutors twice a month via direct deposit.
Who Qualifies to Work For BookNook?
Below is what BookNook has listed on their website for required qualifications to work as a tutor:
- 1+ years teaching or tutoring and a bachelor’s degree (or higher)
- 1+ years teaching or tutoring and current enrollment in a teaching credential program
- 3+ years teaching or tutoring
You'll also need a reliable internet connection and a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone. You must also pass a background check.
BookNook provides all of the training and materials you need to get started, so you don't need to be a tech expert to participate.
What is the Schedule Like With BookNook?
BookNook gives you the flexibility to work around your schedule. Most tutors work between a few hours per week to 10 hours per week. The company states that they aim to make it so everyone can get up to 20 hours per week if they want or need it.
There is no minimum number of hours required.
In Conclusion
BookNook operates in a similar manner to many other online tutoring companies that are in business now.
Because they do not require a weekly minimum number of hours, you could probably combine this with other online tutoring opportunities to boost your tutoring income!
How to Apply

Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
