Teacher

NOTE: Hi there. Please do NOT apply via LinkedIn. Read the job spec & follow the instructions in it. ------------------------------------ The best teachers don’t lecture. They create conditions where learning becomes inevitable. At Forge Prep ( we call them Guides—and they’re nothing like the teachers you remember. No worksheets, no test prep, no rigid curriculum. Instead, you’ll coach students through launching real companies, conducting original research, and building products that matter. NOTE: If you\'re really reading this job spec, you should apply here: The Reality You’ll work with cohorts of students, guiding them through challenges that would intimidate most adults. Your “classroom” is a professional-grade studio. Your “curriculum” is the real world’s most interesting problems. On any given week, you might: Teach physics while helping students attempt a Guinness World Record Coach a team on crafting the narrative for a public health campaign about a rare disease Guide a student learning algebra by building a financial model for a local business Help another master chemistry by formulating a new product for their invention Your success isn’t measured by test scores. It’s measured by whether the students you work with become more confident, capable, and curious than when they started. What this Actually Looks Like You don’t teach subjects—you coach humans. Math happens when students need to model their business projections. Science emerges when they’re solving real problems. Writing improves when they’re crafting pitches that matter. You step in when needed, step back when possible. Sometimes a student needs direct instruction. Sometimes they need you to ask the right question. Sometimes they need space to fail and figure it out. You work alongside professionals. Local entrepreneurs, engineers, and creators work directly with students. You orchestrate these connections and help students learn from real practitioners. You document mastery, not memorization. Instead of grades, you help students build portfolios that prove what they can do. Their work speaks for itself. You Should Apply If You’ve built or led something meaningful —in business, education, nonprofit, or creative fields You believe students are capable of real work when given real responsibility You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure without stifling curiosity You can coach through failure rather than preventing it You think learning happens through doing , not sitting You want to prove education can be different You Shouldn’t Apply If You believe your job is to deliver content and transmit information You prefer predictable lesson plans to dynamic coaching You think teenagers need constant supervision You want traditional classroom management You’re uncomfortable with students sometimes knowing more than you do What We Offer Compensation starting at $100K for entry-level Guides, scaling with experience, plus equity Professional development with top coaches and practitioners in your areas of expertise Meaningful student relationships that let you focus on real growth over class size Professional-grade tools and spaces designed for real creation A community of practitioners who chose impact over ease Former entrepreneurs or executives who want to pass on what they’ve learned Exceptional teachers who are frustrated by traditional constraints Montessori-trained educators experienced in student-driven learning Coaches or mentors from sports, youth programs, or professional development Industry experts ready to guide the next generation Next Steps / Applying You can apply here.
