Job Description

Job Description

Love creating with Art and building with LEGOs? Enjoy working with kids?

We're looking for 2 energetic instructors to teach fun, hands-on after-school engineering and art classes for elementary-age students. No lesson planning . All curriculum and materials are provided-you simply bring enthusiasm!

Earn $40 for each one-hour class, plus paid training. Most instructors teach just 3-4 classes per week, making this an ideal position to supplement another job or school schedule.

Great for teachers, college students, retirees, and anyone looking for rewarding part-time work. You must be 18 years or older to teach.

We provide all the lesson plans, supplies, and support-you just show up ready to have fun with the kids. Class sizes are small (up to 20 students), and our students choose to participate in our program! Eager Engineer students build roller coasters, robots, and engineering challenges using LEGO®, K'NEX®, Citiblocs and other creative building materials. Our art students create wonderful art projects like Watercolors, Collages, and Clay using Prismacolor Markers, Faber-Castell and Sculpey Clay.

What you won't do: grade papers; write lesson plans, work evenings, weekends or holidays. Just one hour of hands-on fun with excited elementary school students.

This position offers valuable experience; over 20 of our instructors have accepted full-time teaching positions after working with us. Great for those pursuing careers in education, engineering, art, child development, youth programming, and related fields.
