Pay and Terms

Teaching, travel and support time.
Each paid separately.

Your offer separates the teaching rate, paid drive time and mileage reimbursement. We discuss the details before you accept a match.

Session rate

Paid for every session you teach, at a rate that depends on your role and on whether the session is in a student’s home or online. We share your exact rate in our first conversation.

Drive time

Paid by the hour. Drive time between back-to-back sessions is paid in full. On the first and last drives of the day, you are paid for the time beyond a short stretch each way.

Mileage

Reimbursed at the IRS standard mileage rate, on top of drive time.

Trainings and meetings

Paid by the hour.

Six-month review

A review of your teaching rates after six months.

W-2, part-time

You are a part-time, hourly Plato+ employee, eligible for overtime, not a contractor. Sessions and travel are logged in one place, which is also what families see on their receipts.
