Teaching at Bulverde United
Our goal is to create an environment where tutors can focus on teaching their passion without the burden of administration. Tutors select their own curriculum, tuition, supply fees, and class size (within BU’s guidelines) and may request to teach on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or both. Tutors provide instruction and activities on class days, assign homework as needed, and record grades in our online platform. Parents remain responsible for transcripts and overall academic direction. The BU Council supports tutors by handling tuition collection, facility costs, and discipline issues as they arise.
Tutor Qualifications
Tutors must be at least 21 years old and have the education and/or experience that qualifies them to teach their subjects. For core classes such as math, science, English, and Bible, extensive subject knowledge is expected. All tutors undergo a background check before being approved to teach.
Commitment & Absences
Tutors and families are expected to commit to the full academic year (August–May). Occasional absences for illness or emergencies are understood, but tutors must arrange and compensate an approved substitute (age 21+) for any planned absence.
Tuition & Schedule
Tuition is collected annually in the form of post-dated checks and distributed monthly (August–April). The school year consists of 32 weeks, with breaks for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. Classes conclude in early May.
Class Offerings & Rotation
Classes at BU rotate from year to year, giving students the opportunity to experience a variety of subjects while ensuring our schedule reflects the interests of families and the availability of tutors.
