After School Coding & AI Teacher

About You

• You absolutely love working with kids. The feeling when you help a student have a "lightbulb moment" is the best thing ever.
• You believe in alternative education and may have ranted about the flaws in our current education system within the past 48 hours.
• You approach teaching with joy and a positive mindset.
• Being late or missing class is a foreign concept to you.
• You are comfortable committing to a consistent weekly schedule.
• You have some previous experience with coding and/or AI tools or you're genuinely eager to learn both.
• You're excited to teach kids not just how to code, but how to use, understand, and think critically about AI.
• You are a lifelong learner and are insatiably curious about where technology is headed.

About the Role

• We're hiring after-school teachers for our coding and AI programs across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Westchester, Long Island, and the Bronx, starting in September 2026.
• You'll teach students to build real projects with code and to explore emerging tools in artificial intelligence, from how AI works to how to use it responsibly and creatively.
• You'll commit to weekly classes from September 2026 through January 2027 at a minimum (we're off for major school holidays & breaks). Priority is given to teachers who can commit for the entire school year.
• You'll need to be available 2-5 days per week to teach a 60- or 90-minute class that typically starts between 3:00-4:00pm and ends between 5:00-6:00pm, depending on the location.
• You may have the opportunity to teach additional classes outside this window, including in-school opportunities and private lessons, as needed.
• Some of our Brooklyn programming is in South Brooklyn. The ability to travel there a few days per week and general travel flexibility is a big plus.
• You'll join a community of fellow educators who are passionate about changing the educational system.

About Us

At The Coding Space, we specialize in providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for kids to have fun, be challenged, and discover their passions. Our teachers never lecture; instead, they ask targeted questions using the Socratic Method to get students thinking and problem-solving on their own. By focusing on the development of computational thinking skills, intellectual confidence, self-expression, and independence, our students learn to code while growing as thinkers, learners, and leaders.
