Virtual Student Mentor, Unbound Academy - $60,000/year USD

Crossover
Surprise, AZ Full Time
POSTED ON 1/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/12/2026
Attention Arizona-certified Teachers

Imagine a teaching role where lesson plans, lectures, and grading are off the table—and your entire focus is on mentoring young people to grow into self-assured, capable individuals.

Unbound Academy is creating a tuition-free, fully virtual charter school that trades worksheets for real-world learning and prioritizes personal development. Students complete their core academics in just two focused hours daily using AI-driven platforms. The remainder of their time is spent in immersive, skill-building workshops designed to spark curiosity, resilience, and self-confidence.

Your role won't involve delivering pre-scripted content or managing a conventional virtual classroom. Instead, you'll facilitate dynamic, interactive online sessions that challenge students to explore meaningful topics—storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and beyond. You'll coach them toward self-reliance, support their individual journeys, and help them cultivate the capabilities that truly matter outside the classroom.

This opportunity is not for educators attached to traditional school structures. It's designed for Arizona-certified teachers prepared to work remotely, embrace innovative pedagogy, and guide students in ways that equip them for the complexities of modern life. If you're ready to leave behind the busywork and help shape a new kind of education, this position is calling your name.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Facilitating engaging, virtual workshops centered on essential life competencies such as creative thinking, effective communication, and analytical problem-solving
  • Providing one-on-one and small-group mentorship to cultivate self-direction, executive function, and personal confidence in students
  • Leveraging platform analytics to customize interventions and monitor student development longitudinally
  • Partnering with other educators to refine and expand project-driven learning modules
  • Building a supportive, energizing virtual environment where every student feels valued, understood, and motivated to advance

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Instructing core academic subjects—AI-powered tutors handle those
  • Presenting scripted lessons or maintaining a conventional classroom structure
  • Grading student work or preparing standardized curriculum plans

Virtual Student Mentor Key Responsibilities

  • Confident virtual facilitation skills; at ease leading sessions on camera
  • Able to commit to full-time hours (M–F, 8am–5pm Arizona time)
  • Prepared to start within 2-3 weeks
  • Enthusiastic about contributing to a technology-enabled, student-focused school environment
