WHO WE ARE

Mathnasium of Sherman Oaks is family-owned and rooted in this neighborhood — our co-owner grew up here and attended Sherman Oaks Elementary, the same school many of our students come from today. Our Center Director works alongside every instructor every shift, so you’ll actually learn from someone who loves this work. Our instructors go places. One just left us for Yale, and another is back for the summer after his freshman year at University of Chicago, where he’s majoring in math. If you want a part-time job that builds your resume, sharpens your teaching skills, and actually feels good to show up to — this is it.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE

• Flexible mid-afternoon to early evening hours on weekdays, and mornings to early afternoon on Sundays — built around your school schedule.
• Pay that grows with your math level — stronger skills unlock more hours and more advanced students.
• A premium brand with rigorous hiring standards — it’s a credential, not just a job.
• Real mentorship from our Center Director, every shift.
• A warm, encouraging team that our families rave about in their Google reviews.
• All curriculum and teaching tools provided — zero prep work on your end.

If you are driven, motivated, and eager to make a difference, we would love to meet you!



 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Teach students from TK through 12th grade using the Mathnasium Method™ — full training provided.
• Work one-on-one or at a shared table with 3–4 students grouped by age, each at different points on their Math Journey.
• Track student progress and adjust your approach to keep every student engaged.
• Help maintain a safe, focused, and welcoming learning environment.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Genuine enthusiasm for math and for working with students of all ages.
• Warmth and patience — parents and kids should feel at ease with you.
• Math skills through at least Algebra I (Pre-Calc or Calculus opens more hours and higher pay).
• Available 2–4 days per week, Sunday through Thursday — Sunday availability is a big plus!
• Able to commit to a minimum of 6 months.
• Comfortable with technology and digital learning tools.

THE HIRING PROCESS

We keep things personal. Our process starts with a phone conversation with our Center Director — no pressure, just a genuine get-to-know-you. The next step, for candidates who are a great fit, is our math literacy assessment, which helps us place you with exactly the right students. We also verify work authorization and run a background check. Don’t stress it — it’s not about perfection, it’s about fit. We’re looking for people, not scores.
