$50/hr Saturday Teaching - High Energy Educators/Performers/Mentors

Job Description

Job Description

Do you light up when you’re in front of a group?

Do students naturally gravitate toward your energy?

Would you rather actually teach and inspire students instead of drowning in paperwork, grading, and bureaucracy?

If so, this may be one of the most fun and rewarding part-time teaching opportunities in St. Petersburg.

Tried & True Education is hiring charismatic, high-energy instructors for a Saturday Academy serving high school students. Instructors will teach a combination of tutoring, test preparation, and engaging academic enrichment classes.

This is not a traditional tutoring job. We are building a team of exceptional instructors who know how to command a room, connect with students, make learning engaging, and create real momentum in a classroom. Our best instructors include:

• Passionate teachers
• Performers and actors
• Youth pastors and youth leaders
• Coaches and mentors
• Strong communicators who genuinely enjoy being in front of people

What Makes This Different

No Lesson Planning

We provide the curriculum, materials, structure, and training.

No Grading or Bureaucracy

Your focus is teaching, engaging students, and creating an outstanding classroom experience.

Premium Pay

This position pays $50 per hour . You will teach for 4-hours on each of 16 scheduled Saturdays in addition to many more after-school and summer teaching opportunities.

Real Support

You will receive paid training, coaching, and ongoing support from experienced instructors.

Meaningful Work

We work primarily with low-income and first-generation students preparing for college opportunities many never thought were possible.

Consistent Summer Hours

We have substantial summer programming booked, with weekday morning and afternoon classes available.

Strong instructors may also continue with us during the school year through afterschool programs, evening classes, and Saturday academies.

About the Students

Our students are bright, capable, and often underestimated. Many are first-generation college-bound students from underserved communities. They do not need boring lectures or robotic instructors. They need instructors who can:

• make them feel confident
• keep them engaged
• explain difficult concepts clearly
• create an environment where learning feels exciting and possible

That is what our best instructors do exceptionally well.

Who Thrives in This Role

This is not a traditional tutoring/teaching job. We are building a team of exceptional instructors who know how to command a room, connect with students, and make learning engaging.

Our strongest instructors often include:

• Passionate teachers and tutors
• Performers and actors
• Youth pastors and youth leaders
• Coaches, mentors, and camp counselors
• Strong communicators who genuinely enjoy being in front of people

You should have:

• Comfort with high-school-level math and verbal concepts
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Reliability and professionalism
• The ability to lead and engage a classroom
• A positive and encouraging approach to working with students
