Job Opportunity at Mathnasium of Northeast Portland

This post is for our Northeast Portland location but we have multiple locations! If one of these locations works better for you, follow the link to apply!

• Hillsboro
• West Linn
• Raleigh Hills
• Lake Oswego
• SE Portland

We are a group of instructors at Mathnasium of Northeast Portland who are making a real difference in students' lives. Our teaching philosophy revolves around teaching math in a way that makes sense to students. We identify where a student is in terms of their math abilities and build them up from there.

We are a growing organization and are looking for instructors to join our team at our Northeast Portland location. If you're a college student or a recent graduate, this would be an ideal position, but we will consider all backgrounds. We teach in a study hall-type environment with students of all ages, primarily K-8th grade. Therefore, we are looking for future instructors who have solid math skills AND strong communication skills. We help our students solve their own problems, not just tell them what to do. (We are *not* a private tutoring facility, and we *do not* teach online!)

In addition to math knowledge and communication skills, we seek individuals who are coachable. We utilize a specific teaching methodology that has been time-tested. Being able to take instruction and be open-minded is paramount. If you believe you have these qualities, please do apply!

We serve our students year-round, so this is an opportunity for regular work. Ideally, you would be available at least 3-4 days out of the 6 days that we are open, but we are flexible! The more you can work, the better. There is no need to schedule your own students as they will come during our operating hours. Unlike a school, we don't require you to have a teaching certificate. We will require you to take a math assessment, and once your qualifications are reviewed and deemed sufficient, we will train you in our methodology.

Our backgrounds are diverse. Some of us have or are working towards math degrees, while others have degrees in sciences and humanities. Some of us are former school teachers. We are also athletes, musicians, and artists. Bottom line, all of us love teaching math and seeing that spark of understanding on a student's face. We work hard, and we love what we do.

We are in the midst of an aggressive hiring campaign. If your application matches our needs, it will be responded to within 1-3 business days! If you're interested in joining our team, we'd love to hear from you!

Address: 4230 NE Fremont St A, Portland, OR 97213

Note: Monthly earnings will vary based on hourly rate, experience, availability, staffing needs, etc.; Not a guaranteed amount.

High School applicants will have a starting wage of $15.95/hr. All applicants will be required to take a math literacy test to demonstrate math proficiency, provide work authorization, and pass a background check.

Physical Requirements: We operate in a dynamic environment, and the physical requirements for this position are very similar to that of a restaurant server: Must constantly move around the center and navigate confined spaces, communicate and exchange accurate information, frequently move objects weighing up to 10 lbs, and occasionally up to 50 lbs.
