Job description

Fusion Academy is the school that changes everything! We are a fully accredited 1-to-1 private school for grades 4-12. As HomeworkCafé® Teacher, you’ll support students in our homework hubs and social spaces. Our diverse team of lifelong learners shares a mission to personalize education for every student — academically, socially, and emotionally. Please note: Not all campuses serve grades 4 and 5, and specific details will be shared during the interview process.

What You'll Do:

• Monitor and help students’ progress in completion of homework and with executive functioning skills.
• Communicate with teachers and parents on student progress.
• Promote a positive social environment for students.
• Differentiate and personalize academic instruction and support social and emotional development in students ranging from 4th - 12th grades.
• Contribute to campus life or culture.
• Keep student records accurate and organized.
• Invest in your own growth through reflection, feedback, and ongoing professional development.
• Other duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degrees or a teaching credential is a plus.
• Ability and willingness to support students with a wide range of assignments.
• Experience working with students, including those with learning differences, neurodiversity, accelerated learning needs, and/or mental health challenges.
• Mentoring experience and a passion for social-emotional learning.
• Skilled with technology, curious about innovation, and open to learning new tools.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
• Ability to function in a high-paced environment, be calm and open for feedback, as well as a self-starter.
• Ability to build rapport with students while maintaining authority, boundaries, and discipline.
• Must maintain a clean and organized milieu space for students to learn.
• A growth mindset with the flexibility to pivot and problem-solve as needed.
• Florida residents require level 2 background screening through https://info.flclearinghouse.com/.

Our campus is looking for a dynamic teacher who will not only own the Homework Cafe space from 10:30-2:30 each day, but who might also have the availability to teach in one or more subject matters in the margins (STEM, Humanities, and/or Foreign Language like Spanish preferred). An excellent candidate might have the potential to move to a full-time, salaried Director of Student Life position in the future.

Why Fusion?

Because teaching with us means more than delivering lessons — it means being part of a community that believes in you. At Fusion, we’re dedicated to 1-1 personalized learning — emotionally, socially, and academically — and we invest in our teachers just like we invest in our students.
