Online Elementary Math Teacher

Job Type:
Full-Time (30–40 hours/week, W2)

Compensation:
$35-45/hour for teaching + $16–20/hour for non-teaching/admin time

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.

About Think Academy
Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is a leading education company dedicated to helping K–12 students build strong academic foundations, confidence in math, and long-term learning ability through high-quality teaching and thoughtfully designed curriculum.

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, and 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
• Once classes are assigned, your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays) — no last-minute changes to plan around
• Commit to at least one year (till May 2027)
• 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
