Job Description
Online Instructor
1.8 billion young people in school today don't have the skills and opportunities to succeed in the workforce and contribute to society. We believe schools are failing children – future visionaries are not learning the necessary skills to leverage force-multipliers of modern technology, and we want to create young leaders equipped with 21st-century, computational, problem-solving skills.
We offer an online marketplace that brings together trained instructors, curriculum providers, and students at school or home to provide a technical learning journey for young children. We have reached over 1,200 children in 15 countries. In Jan 22 we won first prize in the Stanford SEED Spark cohort 3 regional pitch competition out of 85 startups from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
You are required to teach online for at minimum one hour a week in English. The programming classes can include any of the Code School languages/platforms such as: Block coding/Scratch, JavaScript, Lua/Roblox Studio, Java/Minecraft, C++/Arduino, C#/Unity, and Python. Code School will provide all curriculum materials, teacher training and coaching for up to three months, requisite licenses, and administrative support.
Class format: Instructors share availability every month and are then assigned classes accordingly. Classes are held in groups of up to ten children between the age groups 6-7 years, 8-10 years, 11-13 years, or 14 years.
