AI tutor work sits in the education category of the catalogue, which holds 189 live postings. 161 of them involve little AI, where AI is a tool in the workflow rather than the product. Tutoring, annotation, and teaching roles share that category, so read every number below as a category figure.
The number this article rests on: 189 live education postings, 42 of them remote. Measured October 2026.
The catalogue classifies a posting by the work it describes, not by the word in its title. There is no separate "AI tutor" bucket: a tutoring role, a curriculum role, and a teaching-support role all land in education. That makes the category count a ceiling for AI tutor openings rather than an exact number, and it is the honest way to answer a question about a job title that employers spell five different ways.
How many AI tutor jobs are open right now?
The education category holds 189 live postings out of 168,899 in the catalogue, which is 0.1% of everything on the site. That is a small category, and a category this size moves by several percent when a single employer opens or closes a batch of roles. Measured October 2026.
Small does not mean stagnant. What it means practically is that a weekly check beats a monthly one, and that the education hub is worth a bookmark rather than a single visit.
What do AI tutor postings pay?
Education postings that publish a USD range have a median maximum of $180,250 and a median floor of $122,250, on 45 listings that print an annual figure. Across the whole catalogue, 44,243 of 168,899 postings publish a USD range, with a median maximum of $200,000. Measured October 2026.
Hourly pay and annual pay are not comparable, and this site does not multiply one into the other. A rate quoted per hour depends on how many hours the employer actually offers, which the posting almost never states. Where the category does publish annual ranges, they are counted the same way as every other category, and where it does not, nothing is filled in.
What Level are most AI tutor jobs?
161 of the 189 education postings involve little AI, where AI is a tool the person is expected to use. 2 build AI outright (AI Level 4 on Level's four-level scale), where building the AI system is the job itself. The scale is set out on the Levels page. Measured October 2026.
The Level is what separates two jobs that share a title. A tutoring role that uses an AI assistant to generate practice questions is Little AI work: the skill being paid for is teaching. A role that evaluates model output as training signal sits higher, because the judgement is about the model rather than about the student.
Both exist in this category, and the jobs with little AI are where the teaching-first version concentrates.
Can you tutor AI from home?
42 of the 189 education postings say remote, or 22.2%, against 16.4% across the whole catalogue. That puts the category above the rest of the market on remote work, which matches how tutoring sessions are usually delivered in practice. Measured October 2026.
Remote status is read from the posting text. A role that describes a campus without using the word remote is counted as on-site even when the sessions happen over video, so the real share is at least this high.
Is AI tutoring the same as AI training?
No. Tutoring means teaching a person, with AI as a tool in the lesson. AI training means labelling or correcting model output so the model improves, and those roles are counted separately across several categories. 173 live postings carry an annotation or data-labelling title. Measured October 2026.
The distinction matters because the two pay and progress differently, and because search engines treat the phrases as interchangeable when employers do not. If the annotation side is what you are after, the AI training jobs guide covers it with its own numbers.
Do AI tutor jobs ask for a degree?
Across the whole catalogue, 59,194 of 168,899 postings name a degree requirement, which is 35.0% of them. The education category is where a teaching credential is most likely to be named outright, because the employer is buying a teaching skill rather than an engineering one. Measured October 2026.
The requirement is read from the posting text, so a role that expects a degree without printing the word is counted as not requiring one. Treat the share as a floor rather than a ceiling, and read the posting itself before ruling yourself out of it.
