About this role
Think Academy US is hiring a full-time math competition coach to join its Silicon Valley team and teach students preparing for math competitions. You'll lead both group classes and one-on-one sessions, develop personalized learning plans based on student abilities, grade assignments, and hold office hours. The role blends direct teaching with operational involvement—you'll participate in curriculum development and business functions, positioning you to move into branch director or department manager roles.
The position welcomes applicants from any academic background with no prior teaching experience required, though tutoring or competition math experience is valued. You'll need strong organizational skills, patience, and the ability to motivate students while collaborating with colleagues. Think Academy offers H1B and OPT sponsorship, starting salary of $90,000 annually plus teaching commission, medical insurance, and 401k. This is framed as a leadership development opportunity within a subsidiary of TAL Education Group, a major global ed-tech company, with potential for advancement into management or international expansion roles.
