Welcome to the Academy!
We have a passionate and supportive team excited to work with you! Positions at the Academy are typically part-time, from 10 to 35 hours per week, depending on the number of subjects you’re comfortable tutoring or teaching. The commitment is from your date of hire through the end of the school year (mid-June), though the Academy operates year-round. We’d love for you to consider continuing through the summer (with a commitment through August).
We hire for all subjects throughout the year as our students are on a rolling admission basis. We provide tutoring and instruction in all core academic courses (English, Science, History, Math, World Languages) as well as electives that reflect student interests and instructor capabilities.
All new instructors begin with a paid orientation and training, including viewing previously-recorded sessions to help you feel confident and aligned with our approach to instruction. Pacific Learning Academy offers both tutoring and 1-to-1 customized, accredited middle and high school courses. While certification is not required to teach credit classes, you’ll need empathy, curiosity and a strong command of your subject matter. We’ll support you with curriculum guidance, grading strategies, assessments, and maintaining student portfolios.
All lessons are conducted either in the 1-on-1 or shared lesson format, meaning you’ll tailor your teaching to just one (or occasionally two) students at a time, developing meaningful connections and a deep understanding of their academic journey.
If you’re able to tutor or teach more than one subject, be sure to indicate that on this application. We prioritize multi-subject instructors!
