Job description

Job Type: Full-Time (30–40 hours/week, W2);

Location: Remote (U.S. based)

Compensation: $35-45/hour for teaching + $16–20/hour for non-teaching/admin time

Join Think Academy as a full-time Math Teacher. Teach with a structured, high-quality curriculum, receive paid training, and grow into long-term teaching and curriculum roles. This is a long-term teaching opportunity — not a short-term tutoring role.

About Think Academy

Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is a leading education company dedicated to helping K–12 students build strong academic foundations, confidence in math, and long-term learning ability through high-quality teaching and thoughtfully designed curriculum.

Why This Role Is Different

Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you teach within a structured instructional system — curriculum, lesson materials, training, and team support are already in place, so you can focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.

• Stronger Teaching Support — high-quality curriculum and lesson materials, structured onboarding, ongoing training, and a team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation
• Long-Term Career Growth — high performers can grow into Senior Teacher, Teacher Trainer, or Academic Operations/Management roles
• Competitive, Growing Earnings — paid for both teaching and non-teaching work, with performance-based raises up to 3 times a year, and an end-of-semester commission

What You'll Do

• Teach math (Algebra 1, Geometry and above) in a clear, engaging, student-centered way, using our curriculum, lesson materials, and instructional guidance
• Lead virtual classes with ~18 students, creating a positive, high-expectation learning environment
• Grade homework, give timely feedback, and communicate professionally with students/parents on progress and learning plans
• Participate in training, lesson prep, and ongoing professional development

Schedule & Commitment

• ~3-6 classes/week (6-12 teaching hours), plus admin hours (grading, prep, parent comms) — total 30-40 hrs/week
• Class windows (Pacific Time): Wed-Fri, 4pm-8pm and Sat-Sun, 9am-8pm
• Once classes are assigned, your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays)
• We are looking for candidates who can commit to at least one year consistent teaching schedule

Compensation & Benefits

• Teaching Hours: $35-45/hour
• Non-Teaching/Admin Hours: $16-20/hour (grading, class prep, parent communication)
• Performance-based pay increases up to 3 times per year, plus end-of-semester commission targeted at 15-30% of total teaching compensation
• Qualified teachers may be assigned more long-term classes, or have expanded responsibilities
• Benefits: 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility)
• Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university
• Strong math foundation, comfortable with Geometry level or above; Math, STEM-related, or Education majors preferred
• Available during the class windows above; available on at least one weekend day
• Passion for teaching and supporting student growth; strong communication skills
• Strong service mindset: proactive, comfortable initiating communication with parents, students, and the team, not just delivering lessons
• Open to feedback, self-reflective, and able to quickly adjust your teaching and service approach
• Tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or classroom teaching experience is a plus
• Math competition background (e.g., AMC) is a plus
