[Hiring] Elementary School Math Teacher @Think Academy US

Role Description

Join Think Academy as a full-time Math Teacher. Teach with a structured, high-quality curriculum, receive paid training, and grow into long-term teaching and curriculum roles. This is a long-term teaching opportunity — not a short-term tutoring role.

Why This Role Is Different:

• Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you teach within a structured instructional system — curriculum, lesson materials, training, and team support are already in place.
• Focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.

Stronger Teaching Support:

• High-quality curriculum and lesson materials.
• Structured onboarding and ongoing training.
• A team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation.

Long-Term Career Growth:

• High performers can grow into Senior Teacher, Teacher Trainer, or Academic Operations/Management roles.

Competitive, Growing Earnings:

• Paid for both teaching and non-teaching work.
• Performance-based raises up to 3 times a year.
• End-of-semester commission.

What You'll Do:

• Teach math (up to Pre-Algebra) in a clear, engaging, student-centered way, using our curriculum, lesson materials, and instructional guidance.
• Lead virtual classes with ~18 students, creating a positive, high-expectation learning environment.
• Grade homework, give timely feedback, and communicate professionally with students/parents on progress and learning plans.
• Participate in training, lesson prep, and ongoing professional development.

Schedule & Commitment:

• ~3-6 classes/week (6-12 teaching hours), plus admin hours (grading, prep, parent comms) — total 30-40 hrs/week.
• Class windows (Pacific Time): Wed-Fri, 4pm-8pm and Sat-Sun, 9am-8pm.
• Once classes are assigned, your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays).
• We are looking for candidates who can commit to at least one year consistent teaching schedule.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university.
• Strong math foundation, comfortable with Pre-Algebra or above; Math, STEM-related, or Education majors preferred.
• Available during the class windows above; available on at least one weekend day.
• Passion for teaching and supporting student growth; strong communication skills.
• Strong service mindset: proactive, comfortable initiating communication with parents, students, and the team, not just delivering lessons.
• Open to feedback, self-reflective, and able to quickly adjust your teaching and service approach.
• Tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or classroom teaching experience is a plus.
• Math competition background (e.g., AMC, Math Kangaroo) is a plus.

Requirements

• Commitment to a consistent teaching schedule for at least one year.

Benefits

• Teaching Hours: $35-45/hour.
• Non-Teaching/Admin Hours: $16-20/hour (grading, class prep, parent communication).
• Performance-based pay increases up to 3 times per year, plus end-of-semester commission targeted at 15-30% of total teaching compensation.
• Qualified teachers may be assigned more long-term classes, or have expanded responsibilities.
• Benefits: 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility).
• Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers.
