If you're passionate about both Legos, STEM, and working with children, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! Pay is $35 per class.

Responsibilities:

• Teaching: Lead engaging STEM classes for elementary students (Grades 1-5) in the Gahanna-Jefferson Schools. You'll use Eager Enrichment's "no-fail" teaching approach, helping students understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process.
• Classroom Management: Create a positive and well-organized learning environment for up to 20 students. Promote respectful behavior and guide students through structured, supportive lessons.

• Schedule & Commitment: Arrival at the school is required on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 2:30pm. This position includes four one-hour classes per week. If you're seeking more than 4 hours per week, this role may not be a fit.
• Experience: Prior experience working with children (Grades 1-5) is preferred, but a strong desire to work with elementary-age students is essential.
• Adaptability: Ability to adjust teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of students.
• Physical Requirements: Must be able to lift 40 pounds for a short period of time (need be able to move our blocs container to the dolly we provide to from your car)
• Tech Savvy: Comfortable using mobile apps for communication and scheduling.
• Transportation: Must have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation to and from school sites.
• Age Requirement: Candidates must be 18 years of age or older.

You'll receive training in our award-winning, proven STEM education method, along with weekly project videos to guide each lesson.

We're proud to be a high-profile, top-tier enrichment program. Our ideal candidate is someone who:
