Who We Are theCoderSchool is an after-school program for kids learning to code. We provide a fun, energetic, and inspirational environment to bring out that inner hacker in all kids! The future will be ever more dependent on technology so let's get our young generation ready. Learn to Code, Change the World.
Job Summary theCoderSchool is looking for passionate Code Coaches (CS Tutors) to teach our next generation how to change the world! You will meet incredible kids, teach them how to code (and how to think like a coder!), and be rewarded with an amazing experience. This is a part-time position for 6-20 hours/week, depending on your schedule and availability. Hours are generally between 3-8 pm on weekdays or late morning on weekends.
Responsibilities A Code Coach is a mentor who teaches kids how to code. At theCoderSchool, we have three basic teaching styles — your assignment will depend on schedule, ability, and desire.
- Private and Semi-Private Tutoring. One-to-one or one-on-two coding lessons for kids. Younger kids will be taught in Scratch or Snap, while older kids gravitate towards Python, JavaScript, or other advanced languages like Java, C++, and Unity. Kids will generally create apps that you decide together, guided by our curriculum.
- App Team. Our more experienced Code Coaches will manage a team of kids doing fun group exercises to build presentation skills, with the goal of preparing for our regular Coder Fairs.
- Code Class. Traditional curriculum-based classes with a larger student-to-teacher ratio, where all students follow a specific set curriculum.
This position rocks because you will:
- Meet, mentor, and grow amazing kids who are ready to be our next generation of coders!
- Connect with parents — many of whom are techies themselves working at some of the best companies and startups in the New York area.
- Give back to the community by sharing your knowledge of technology and helping shape the next generation.
- Have the flexibility to teach what you're most comfortable with, and learn new things along the way.
Requirements
- PASSION. All caps! This is all about giving back to the kids. We need to see goose bumps when your student ROCKS a code challenge.
- Great Communicator. There will be plenty of chatting with parents, and patience is a virtue when it comes to kids!
- Street Cred. Code Coaches will be current college students majoring in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similar field at a nearby accredited school.
- Coding Skills. Strong grasp of basic procedural programming. General knowledge of other languages is a plus — JavaScript, PHP, HTML/CSS, Python, and Java are most helpful. Deep technical skills aren't required; we prefer coaches who communicate well and find answers alongside students.
- Teaching Experience. Experience teaching kids in any subject is a plus, as is familiarity with Scratch or Snap.
