Job description

Calling licensed teachers who are ready to stop managing school and start changing lives.

What if your job no longer revolved around lesson plans, lectures, or grading---but instead focused entirely on mentoring kids to become confident, capable humans?

At Unbound Academy, teaching looks different by design. This is a hybrid role supporting a fully virtual, tuition-free Arizona charter school that replaces worksheets with hands-on learning and puts personal growth at the center. Students complete core academics independently using AI-powered tools in two focused hours a day. The rest of their time is spent building real skills through guided workshops, coaching, and exploration.

You won't be delivering scripted lessons or policing a virtual classroom. You'll be leading high-energy online sessions that challenge students to think, create, collaborate, and grow. You'll mentor them through storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and problem-solving while helping them develop independence, confidence, and executive function.

This role is not for educators trying to replicate traditional school on Zoom. It's for licensed teachers willing to relocate to Arizona, work in a hybrid model, and support students in a way that actually prepares them for life. If you're done with classroom busywork and ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, keep reading.

What You Will Be Doing

• Running interactive virtual workshops focused on life skills such as communication, creativity, problem-solving, and self-direction
• Mentoring students one-on-one and in small groups to build confidence, ownership, and executive functioning
• Using platform data and student signals to personalize support and track progress over time
• Collaborating with fellow educators to design and continuously improve project-based learning experiences
• Creating a safe, high-energy environment where students feel seen, challenged, and motivated to grow

What You Won't Be Doing

• Teaching core academic subjects; those are handled by adaptive AI tutors
• Delivering scripted lectures or managing a traditional classroom model
• Grading worksheets, assigning homework, or preparing standardized lesson plans

Virtual Learning Facilitator Key Responsibilities
