Remote Secondary Math Teacher

Is This You?

You've spent years in the classroom — maybe a decade or more — and you're excellent at what you do. You know your content through Algebra 2 and beyond. But more than that, you understand how students learn. You can spot a poorly designed curriculum. You know why worked examples matter, why discovery learning fails most students, and why explicit instruction works. You've read the research, and you teach accordingly.

Maybe you stepped away from the classroom for a season and you're ready to return — but on your terms. Or maybe you're still teaching in a brick-and-mortar school, frustrated by the constraints: the rigid pacing guides, the reform math curricula you're forced to use, the inability to teach from your faith. You're tired of keeping your beliefs out of your classroom.

You want to teach math as it really is — orderly, beautiful, and reflecting the character of the God who designed it. You want to disciple students while you teach them, not just deliver content. You want creative freedom, flexibility, and colleagues who share your convictions about both faith and pedagogy.

You're not looking for a traditional teaching job. You're looking for a mission.

The Position

This is a 20-hour-per-week position with three distinct responsibilities:
Teaching
,
Lesson Design
, and
Department Leadership
. As our secondary math program grows, this role has potential to expand to 30 hours per week.

Teaching (within 15 hours/week)

Students at Lemons-Aid Learning complete their Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus curriculum independently at home through mastery-based online programs. Your live classes aren't about teaching Section 4.2 — they're about making math come alive.

Your teaching responsibilities:

• Teach live virtual classes minutes) to students in grades 6-12
• Provide office hours and tutoring for students needing additional support
• Use explicit instruction (I Do, We Do, You Do) — not discovery learning
• Differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms where a 9th grader might be working at 7th grade level
• Build authentic relationships with students and families
• Weave biblical worldview naturally throughout your teaching — connecting mathematical truth to God's faithfulness, design, and character

Department Head (5 hours/week)

You're not just teaching — you're building a math program. This is a leadership role for someone who wants to shape how math education works at Lemons-Aid Learning.

Your department head responsibilities (5 hours/week:

• Design the program structure: How many days per week do students meet live? What's the homework cadence? What's the role of parents?
• Test and refine until the program works
• Make pedagogical and curriculum decisions grounded in research — you can articulate
  why
  explicit instruction works and
  why
  constructivism fails
• Mentor new math teachers as the program grows, ensuring fidelity to our teaching philosophy
• Design new course offerings — both traditional and creative
• Maintain K-12 awareness: understand how secondary math connects to elementary foundations

Lesson Design

You'll design weekly enrichment lessons across five research-based categories: fluency practice, explicit problem-solving instruction, real-world applications, mathematical beauty and art, and student presentations.

Your lesson design responsibilities:

• Create lesson plans that other teachers can execute with fidelity
• Use existing curriculum resources or design from scratch as needed
• Ground all curriculum choices in the science of learning — not trends, not tradition
• Mentor teachers to ensure lessons are implemented as designed

What This Job Is NOT

Let's be direct about who this role isn't for, so we don't waste your time or ours:

• NOT a textbook-following position
  — There's no scope-and-sequence chart to check off. If you love the predictability of teaching Section 4.2 on Tuesday and 4.3 on Wednesday, this isn't your role.
• NOT asynchronous
  — You get to engage in live classes with learners.
• NOT a full-time position
  — If you need 40 hours and benefits for a family of four, this won't meet your needs.
• NOT for people who need a lot of direction
  — You'll get support, but you need to take ownership and run with creative freedom.

Qualifications

Required:

• Minimum 7 years of teaching experience
• Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Math Education, or related field
• Teaching certificate with secondary math endorsement (active or lapsed)
• Strong content knowledge through Algebra 2 and Geometry (minimum)
• Ability to read and apply educational research — your pedagogical choices are grounded in science, not habit
• Commitment to explicit instruction; rejection of constructivism and discovery learning
• Ability to naturally integrate biblical truth into academic content
• Tech proficiency or demonstrated ability to learn quickly

Preferred:

• Experience with mastery-based curricula (CTC Math, Singapore Math, Saxon, Khan Academy)
• Curriculum design or instructional design experience

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate
• 20 hours per week with potential to grow to 30
• Paid sick leave with substitute teachers
• 401(k) with company matching
• Unlimited free classes at Lemons-Aid Learning for your homeschool children (space permitting)
• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Flexible schedule

Application Process

We're looking for someone special, so our application process reflects that.

What happens next:

1. Complete our full application (including questions about your faith and teaching philosophy)
2. Finalists create a sample enrichment lesson demonstrating biblical integration and explicit instruction
3. Final interview where you'll teach the "I Do" portion of your sample lesson

We're looking for a builder, not a maintainer. Someone who sees math as beautiful and wants to help students see it too. Someone who believes teaching is discipleship and every lesson points students toward their Creator.
