We provide after school and summer STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Making) classes for kids in grades 1-7. At Nerding teachers feel supported, encouraged, inspired, and part of an ever growing family. Our mission is to engage creative minds by supporting and educating children AND teachers as the 21st century continues to advance in STEM fields.
We are currently looking for dynamic Certified Teachers for Grades 1-2 and 3-5 to teach our after school STEM classes in the Kyrene district - Tempe, Chandler, and Ahwatukee, Arizona areas. The class you teach will depend on your interests and the existing class schedules and curriculum. Classes include topics such as Robotics, Coding, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality, Graphic Design, Wizard Science, Science of Bubbles, STEM Challenges, Space Science, and more. Aside from teaching the classes your time will also include prepping materials (at home), setting up the classroom, cleaning up after class and taking all mobile supplies with you. Additionally, you'll ensure that each Nerd gets safely to the appropriate destination after class.
Always hiring! Just apply and we will discuss possible start dates.
An ideal candidate would be available a minimum of 3 days per week, Mon-Fri, 2:00pm-4:00pm. Classes are 90 min from 2:15-3:45. This is perfect for someone who subs, has 2 hours of time in the afternoons, or is recently retired looking to stay connected to teaching!
$40/hr = $480/class
If you teach at 5 schools all school year there is a $400 bonus, this translates to $10,000 total earnings.
Prior experience teaching science and STEM topics is a plus. The curriculum is complete and we will provide extensive one on one training. You may also shadow classes and co-teach until you are comfortable leading a class on your own!
We have curriculum for grades 1-2 and 3-5. Let us know which grades you prefer to work with.
