[Hiring] G1-G2 Math Teacher @Think Academy

Role Description

Join Think Academy as a full-time G1-G2 Math Teacher. Teach with a structured, high-quality curriculum, receive paid training, and grow into long-term teaching and curriculum roles. We're especially looking for candidates with the potential to grow into a Grade Leader role, taking on teacher mentorship and grade-level management responsibilities as they develop. 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.
• Stronger Teaching Support:
  • High-quality curriculum and lesson materials.
  • Structured onboarding and ongoing training.
  • A team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation.
• A Path to Grade Leader:
  • This role is designed as a talent pipeline for our G1-G2 team.
  • Strong performers may be considered for Grade Leader responsibilities within their first several months.
• 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 G1-G2 math in a clear, engaging, kids-friendly way, using our curriculum, lesson materials, and instructional guidance.
• Lead virtual classes with strong classroom energy, patience, and the ability to hold young students' attention and engagement.
• Create a warm, positive, high-expectation learning environment suited to early learners.
• Grade homework, give timely feedback, and communicate proactively and professionally with parents about progress, classroom behavior, and learning habits.
• Deeply understand each lesson's teaching goals and common student sticking points.
• Participate in training, lesson prep, and ongoing professional development.
• Take feedback well and continuously refine your teaching and service habits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university.
• Strong math foundation, comfortable with U.S. Elementary School math content or above; Education, Child Development, Math Education, Psychology, or related majors preferred.
• Fluent, confident English instruction skills, plus the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with parents and internal team members in Chinese or bilingually.
• Meaningful prior experience with young learners (tutoring, camp teaching, after-school programs, classroom teaching, mentoring). Bonus points for prior online teaching experience.
• Strong service mindset: proactive, comfortable initiating communication with parents, students, and the team.
• Open to feedback, self-reflective, and able to quickly adjust your teaching and service approach.
• Genuinely interested in a long-term teaching career and growth at Think Academy.
• Available during the class windows above; available on at least one weekend day.
• Candidates based in or open to relocating to the Bay Area preferred.

Requirements

• Commit to at least one year (till May 2027).
• Relocation potential for candidates on the Grade Leader track, contingent on strong performance in your first few months.

Benefits

• Teaching Hours: $35-40/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.
• Benefits: 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility).
• Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers.
