Job description

Benefits

• Flexible schedule

SAI Academy is seeking a skilled and proactive academic support specialist to support student-athletes in a highly individualized academic setting.

This is not a traditional lecture-based classroom role.

Your role is to provide targeted instruction, identify learning gaps, and ensure students develop genuine subject mastery. You will work closely with student-athletes whose training schedules demand flexibility, structure, and consistency.

While athletics may be central to their identity, we expect academics to be taken just as seriously within our walls.

We are looking for an educator who values independence, communicates clearly, and takes initiative without waiting for direction.

Role Overview

• Support middle and high school students (STEM preferred) among other subject experience
• Monitor and guide student progress within digital curriculum platforms (IXL, assessments, SAT/ACT prep tools)
• Deliver individualized and small-group instruction daily
• Design supplemental mini-lessons when gaps are identified
• Pivot between multiple subject levels as needed
• Maintain a focused, structured learning environment
• Track academic progress and collaborate with leadership
• This role does not require grading or full curriculum development.
• There are no unpaid after-hours expectations.

Who Thrives in This Role

• Educators confident supporting multiple math levels in the same day
• Teachers comfortable facilitating platform-based learning
• Professionals who identify problems and act without being prompted
• Individuals who hold high academic standards while building rapport
• Strong communicators who value collaboration

Qualifications

• Demonstrated mastery of high school subjects (STEM preferred)
• Experience working with middle and/or high school students
• Ability to differentiate instruction across learning levels
• Proficiency with digital tools and Google Workspace
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• Teaching certification preferred but not required for the right candidate.

What We Offer

• Small-group instructional model
• Supportive administrative leadership
• 401(k)
• Professional development opportunities
• Merit-based growth potential
• Academic calendar schedule (Aug–May)
• Clear work-life boundaries
