Position Summary

We have an opening for an Online Secondary Math Teacher (Remote; Virtual) to join our team for the next school year. In this role, you will deliver personalized and engaging instruction and support to students in math courses.

The vast majority of your time will be spent contacting students and parents directly to provide one on one support. You’ll make these connections every day using chat, email, text messages, and plain old telephone calls. If you don’t like the idea of proactively reaching out to students and families every day, this isn’t the right position.

About a quarter of your time will be spent providing personalized feedback to students via grading assignments and recording personalized video feedback. A small portion of your time might be spent supplementing our system curriculum by developing and/or delivering quality live and recorded lessons as determined in collaboration with your supervisor.

You’ll leverage your knowledge of your subject matter, your skills as an educator, and your mastery of Google Apps for Education, learning management systems, and modern communication tools to drive personalized learning experiences that yield strong academic results. Your innovation will maximize student engagement and knowledge acquisition yet you’ll frequently forgo technology to provide instruction and support to students and parents using plain old telephone calls from someone that cares.

This position is a 12-month, year-round position with paid time off and paid sick leave available. We offer a slate of more than ten paid company holidays plus an additional period of time off to rest and reflect over the winter holidays.

Though we operate in the online education space, school community is important to us. Face-to-face activities like student testing require in-person support. Occasional travel to support proctoring of student tests and other face-to-face events like graduation is required.
