The Role
You'll facilitate classes designed by our curriculum partners. You're not lecturing. You're guiding students through complex projects, asking questions that help them figure things out, and managing creative learning environments. Flexible schedule, remote work. Start with a few sessions per week and scale up as you want more hours.
Who We're Looking For
Someone with deep interests in any subject, a genuine desire to help others learn, and an open mind. Teaching experience is a plus but not required. What matters most is reliability and initiative. Show up consistently, care about your students, and take ownership. We want people who try things, suggest ideas, and help us build this, not just follow instructions.
What You'll Teach
We pair you with programs that match your interests and experience.
