About the Role

Inspire and Educate Children. We are Bricks 4 Kidz and we are seeking energetic, reliable instructors to lead hands‑on STEM programs for elementary‑aged students using LEGO®-based curriculum.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead structured STEM lessons using pre-designed Bricks 4 Kidz curriculum
• Maintain strong classroom control with groups of 10–20 students
• Set clear expectations and enforce rules consistently
• Keep students engaged, on-task, and respectful
• Manage setup, cleanup, and care of materials/equipment

Preferred Qualifications

• Education, psychology, or related field (student or graduate)
• Prior classroom teaching or group leadership experience
• Experience handling challenging behavior or high-energy groups

What We’re Looking For

This role is not a fit for candidates who:

• Struggle to enforce rules or maintain authority
• Prefer a passive or “hands-off” teaching style
• Are inconsistent with attendance or reliability

This role is ideal for candidates who:

• Naturally take charge in group settings
• Are comfortable being firm, fair, and structured
• Step up when needed and take ownership

Schedule

• Weekday afternoons (after-school programs)
• Occasional evenings/weekends (events & camps)
• Flexible but must have consistent availability

Compensation

• Competitive pay (based on experience)
• Paid training provided

At Bricks4Kidz, we value our team and offer competitive pay starting at $30-$40 per class taught, depending on experience and education level.
