Online Elementary Math Teacher

About the role

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, so you can focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.

Stronger Teaching Support

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

Long-Term Career Growth

• High performers can grow into Senior Teacher, Lead Teacher/Mentor, Curriculum Development, Teacher Training Support, or Academic Operations/Management roles
• Competitive, growing earnings — paid for both teaching and admin work, with performance-based raises up to 3 times a year, and the potential to move into year-round teaching for more stable long-term income

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

• Onboarding starts August 2026; teaching begins September 2026
• ~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
• Your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays)
• Requires a paid 5-day on-site training in San Jose, CA as part of onboarding

Compensation & 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 bonus opportunities as you grow
• Qualified teachers may continue into year-round teaching for more consistent long-term earnings

Benefits

• 401(k)
• health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility)
• Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree
• Strong math foundation, comfortable with Pre-Algebra or above
• Passion for teaching and supporting student growth; strong communication skills
• Available during the class windows above
• Tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or classroom teaching experience is a plus
• Math competition background (e.g., AMC, Math Kangaroo) is a plus, but not required
