About the Role
Are you passionate about shaping how the next generation interacts with technology? We are seeking a creative, mentorship-driven Part-Time High School Electives Teacher to lead our innovative computer and technology courses, with a special focus on AI Ethics.
We provide the foundational curriculum and lesson frameworks, but we don't want a robot—we want you. We invite you to bring your unique tech knowledge, industry insights, and creative spark to the coursework to make these cutting-edge topics truly come alive. With an intimate 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio, you will have the rare opportunity to truly connect with every student, mentor their growth, and foster deep, meaningful discussions.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver & Enrich Curriculum: Teach established elective courses covering AI Ethics and other computer-related content, infusing your own creativity and expertise into the daily lessons.
- Cultivate Community: Create a warm, caring, and highly inviting classroom environment where students feel safe to express ideas, ask big questions, and debate ethical tech dilemmas.
- Facilitate Small-Group Learning: Guide discussions, manage hands-on tech projects, and provide personalized feedback tailored to our small 7-student cohorts.
- Assess & Support: Monitor student engagement and understanding, adjusting your approach to meet individual learning needs.
What We Are Looking For (Qualifications)
- The Right Vibe: A genuinely caring individual who thrives on building supportive relationships with high school students.
- Experience: Prior experience in teaching, tutoring, or leading/managing a team (camp counselors, project managers, or team leads looking to transition their skills are highly encouraged to apply!).

- Age Requirement: Must be 21 years of age or older by the start date.
- Background Check: Must successfully pass a comprehensive background check.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us

- Creative Freedom: While the core lessons are built, we actively encourage you to experiment, bring in real-world examples, and make the class your own.
- Flexible Schedule: Ideal for freelancers, graduate students, or tech professionals looking to give back to the community part-time.
