You'll work with elementary and middle school students, guiding them through math topics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, and pre-algebra.

At Mathnasium, we're not just about getting the correct answers. We help students feel capable, encouraged, and even excited about math. You'll use our proven Mathnasium Method to support kids in a warm, structured environment that makes math make sense.

Our Westmere center is located in a convenient shopping plaza on Western Avenue with easy access from Albany, Guilderland, and surrounding communities.

This is an excellent opportunity for college students, future teachers, or anyone who loves math and wants to make a positive impact.

• You enjoy working with kids and know how to keep them focused, positive, and feeling successful
• You're dependable, upbeat, and can follow a clear structure
• You're available at least two consistent days per week
