Homebound instruction is academic teaching delivered at a student's home, or in a hospital or treatment facility, when a medical, mental health, or behavioral condition keeps them from attending school. Some states call it "home and hospital instruction" or "home, hospital, or institutional instruction." Einstein Tutoring provides one-on-one homebound instruction taught by certified teachers, in person or virtually.

Hospital and facility instruction is teaching provided on-site while a student is in a hospital or behavioral health facility, so their education continues during treatment.

Tutoring supplements schoolwork. Our instruction replaces classroom learning: it is taught by certified teachers, aligned to the student's curriculum and IEP, and documented for the district, helping districts meet their FAPE obligations.

Students who can't attend school due to medical, mental health, or behavioral needs, including students with IEPs and those awaiting out-of-district placement.

Each state sets its own rules for who qualifies, how quickly instruction must start, and how many hours a student receives. Einstein Tutoring publishes free state-by-state guides for Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Find them on our blog under Homebound Instruction Rules by State.

In most cases, your school district arranges and pays for instruction. We contract directly with districts, so families usually do not pay out of pocket.

You can send the student's grade, subjects, IEP or 504 plan, location, and whether you need in-person or virtual instruction. We will match the student with a certified teacher and begin scheduling.

You can usually expect placement in under 5 days, and often within 3. If your student's needs are more complex, placement can take up to 14 days.
