About Think Academy

Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is a leading education company dedicated to helping K–12 students build strong academic foundations, confidence in math, and long-term learning ability through high-quality teaching and thoughtfully designed curriculum.

Why This Role Is Different

Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you teach within a structured instructional system — curriculum, lesson materials, training, and team support are already in place, so you can focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.

• Stronger Teaching Support — high-quality curriculum and lesson materials, structured onboarding, ongoing training, and a team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation
• Long-Term Career Growth — high performers can grow into Senior Teacher, Teacher Trainer, or Academic Operations/Management roles
• Competitive, Growing Earnings — paid for both teaching and non-teaching work, with performance-based raises up to 3 times a year, and an end-of-semester commission

What You'll Do

• Teach math (up to Pre-Algebra) in a clear, engaging, student-centered way, using our curriculum, lesson materials, and instructional guidance
• Lead virtual classes with ~18 students, creating a positive, high-expectation learning environment
• Grade homework, give timely feedback, and communicate professionally with students/parents on progress and learning plans
• Participate in training, lesson prep, and ongoing professional development

Schedule & Commitment

• Onboarding starts August 2026; teaching begins September 2026
• ~3-6 classes/week (6-12 teaching hours), plus admin hours (grading, prep, parent comms) — total 30-40 hrs/week
• Class windows (Pacific Time): Wed-Fri, 4pm-8pm and Sat-Sun, 9am-8pm
• Once classes are assigned, your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays)
• Commit to at least one year (till May 2027)

Compensation & Benefits

• Teaching Hours: $35-45/hour
• Non-Teaching/Admin Hours: $16-20/hour (grading, class prep, parent communication)
• Performance-based pay increases up to 3 times per year, plus end-of-semester commission targeted at 15-30% of total teaching compensation
• Qualified teachers may be assigned more long-term classes, or have expanded responsibilities
• Benefits: 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility)
• Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university

• Available during the class windows above; available on at least one weekend day
