Job description

We are seeking a Catholic part‑time Substitute teacher to teach in a classical and Catholic classroom at our center in Sykesville, MD. You do not need a teaching certification nor formal teaching experience to apply. We will teach you everything you need to know. The right applicant may have experience homeschooling or working with homeschool children, ministry in your Catholic parish, teaching Religious Education or Catechism classes, teaching your own children, or perhaps teaching in a classical or private school (although not required).

Tutors are trained to provide instruction and classroom management according to RCA standards. The ideal applicant will have strong communication skills, good organization, timeliness, a traditional view of the student/teacher relationship, and must be living the Catholic faith day‑to‑day, including having received all the sacraments appropriate to his or her state in life.

All staff complete a background check and RCA Safe Child training prior to teaching at Regina Caeli Academy.

Hours are Mondays and Thursdays 9:25 am – 4:00 pm. Tutors must be willing to prepare for classes at home and come to class prepared to teach in a highly structured environment.
