Join Our Team

At Simply Ed, we believe every NYC public school student deserves the attention, support, and encouragement they need to thrive — and so do you. As an Elementary Math Teacher’s Assistant at Brooklyn Arbor Elementary School , you’ll play a vital role in helping students across Grades K–5 strengthen their mathematical understanding, problem-solving skills, and confidence.

This role combines push-in classroom support with targeted small-group instruction , giving you the opportunity to support students within their regular Math classes as well as in more focused learning environments. You’ll work alongside classroom teachers to reinforce grade-level concepts, help students work through challenging material, and provide additional academic support based on student needs.

Because you’ll be supporting mathematics across the full K–5 grade range , strong Math proficiency is essential. You should be confident in your own mathematical knowledge and comfortable adjusting how you explain concepts for students at different developmental and skill levels, from building early foundational skills to supporting more advanced upper-elementary problem-solving.
