You'll be the instructional lead in the room, not just supervising screen time.

- Use ongoing assessment (both program data and your own observation) to determine when a student is ready to advance or needs more time on a concept
- Create a structured, engaged classroom environment that supports independent work balanced with direct teacher support
- Communicate student progress with school leadership and parents as needed
- Provide weekly homework for each class
Experience Needed:
- Prior experience teaching math, ideally at the elementary and/or middle school level
- Strong foundational math knowledge across grade-level content and the ability to explain concepts clearly in multiple ways
- Patience, attentiveness, and genuine enjoyment working with kids
- Reliable availability for a consistent weekly in-person schedule
Schedule & Compensation
- 15 to 18 hours per week, in person (Tuesday-Thursday 9:00am-3:15pm)
- $32.00/hour
- Independent contractor position (1099)
To apply, please send your resume
Qualification Required:
- A bachelor's degree is required for the teaching position, unless you have ample teaching experience in mathematics.
