Remote Secondary Math Teacher & Curriculum Designer (Christian Org)

Is This You? You're a former math teacher who left the classroom to raise your family, but you miss the spark of helping students discover the beauty of mathematics. Or maybe you're currently teaching in a rigid system, following textbook lessons day after day, dreaming of the creative freedom to design lessons that truly engage students. You love math deeply—not just as procedures and solutions, but as a window into God's design. You can explain why the quadratic formula works, get excited about the Fibonacci sequence in nature, and naturally connect mathematical concepts to Scripture without it feeling forced. But here's what matters most: you love kids. You don't just love the content—you love the students. You see teaching as discipleship. You genuinely care about the 9th grader who's struggling, the 11th grader who's bored, and the middle schooler who thinks they're "bad at math." You want to walk alongside them, pointing them to Christ while helping them grow in mathematical confidence. You want meaningful work that fits your life—2-3 days per week, fully remote, with room to grow. You're tech-savvy, self-directed, and don't need someone looking over your shoulder. You want to be part of building something special: a community where students don't just learn math, they fall in love with it and see their Creator's fingerprints in every equation. You're not looking for a traditional teaching job. You're looking for a mission. The Position & What You'll Do Students at Lemons-Aid Learning complete their Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus curriculum independently at home through mastery-based online programs. Your job isn't to teach Lesson 4.2 on Tuesday and 4.3 on Wednesday. Your job is to make math come alive. Your Core Responsibilities: • 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. We will support you. • Teach live virtual classes (45-55 minutes, 1-2x per week) to students in grades 6-12. THIS IS NOT ASYNCHRONOUS WORK. • Monitor student progress in their mastery-based curriculum and provide office hours for students needing additional support • Provide tutoring for students who need extra help or are working to close learning gaps • Assess creative work, including student presentations, projects (cryptography systems, tessellations, financial literacy plans, mathematical modeling), and problem-solving demonstrations • Weave biblical worldview naturally throughout your lessons—connecting mathematical truth to God's faithfulness, design, and character • Use explicit instruction (I Do, We Do, You Do), not discovery learning • Differentiate instruction for mixed-ability classrooms where a 9th grader might be working at 7th grade level • Build authentic relationships with students and their families, inspiring kids while keeping parents happy • Design new math courses, both traditional and outside-the-box creative offerings • Dream and build a math program along mission-focused colleagues Collaboration & Community: • Work alongside our team of educators who share your passion for evidence-based teaching • Engage actively in our Lemons-Aid community—you're not an isolated contractor • Participate in ongoing professional development on pedagogy, biblical integration, and curriculum design • Contribute your ideas, creativity, and feedback to strengthen our program and company Growth & Leadership Potential This isn't a dead-end part-time gig. We're building something, and the right person can grow with us. Immediate opportunity: 10-17 hours per week teaching, tutoring, and curriculum design Growth potential: • Expand to 30 hours per week as enrollment increases, or hire another teacher to teach • Train and mentor new teachers joining the program • Take leadership roles in curriculum development and program direction We want ambitious builders who see possibilities, not teachers who need to log in and teach a lesson written by someone else. 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 grading busywork — You won't grade 30 problem sets on factoring trinomials. Students complete practice in their online curriculum. You'll assess creative projects, presentations, and problem-solving work. • NOT teaching curriculum content — Students learn new concepts at home. You're creating enrichment experiences. • 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. • NOT a checkbox Christian role — If biblical integration feels awkward or forced to you, this isn't the right fit. We're looking for someone who naturally sees God in mathematics. Qualifications Required: • Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Math Education, or related field • Active teaching certificate WITH a secondary math endorsement • Teaching experience (classroom, tutoring, homeschool, or online instruction) • Strong content knowledge through Algebra 2 and Geometry (minimum) • Ability to naturally integrate biblical truth into academic content without it feeling contrived • Advanced tech proficiency including: • Zoom and its advanced features (breakout rooms, whiteboard, annotations, emojis, shared screens, polling) • Learning Management Systems (LMS platforms) • High-tech math apps and teaching tools • Or demonstrated ability to learn new technology quickly • Commitment to evidence-based pedagogy and explicit instruction (not constructivism or discovery learning) Preferred: • Experience with mastery-based curricula (CTC Math, Khan Academy, Saxon, Singapore Math) • Curriculum design or instructional design experience or a passion for designing curriculum About Lemons-Aid Learning We're a Christian K-12 organization serving homeschool families across the country, offering courses in all academic subjects. Our mathematics program is different: Evidence-Based Pedagogy: We ground everything in research on how students actually learn—explicit instruction with worked examples, not discovery learning. We reject constructivism because the research shows it doesn't work for novice learners. Hybrid Model: Students use mastery-based online curricula (CTC Math, eSingapore Math, Khan Academy) for systematic content instruction at home. Our live enrichment classes focus on fluency practice, problem-solving strategies, real-world applications, mathematical beauty, and student presentations. Biblical Worldview: Math isn't neutral. We teach students to see God's faithfulness in patterns, His design in geometric relationships, His wisdom in problem-solving, and their calling to steward mathematical gifts for His glory. Mission: We're raising biblical thinkers who love mathematics and use it to serve God and others. Compensation & Benefits • Competitive hourly rate • Guaranteed minimum 10 hours per week regardless of enrollment • Current range: 10-17 hours per week with potential to grow to 30 hours • 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 — 2-3 days per week Start Date • December 2025: Onboarding, preparation, training, and curriculum development • January 2026: Classes begin Application Process We're looking for someone special, so our application process reflects that. Here's what to expect: What happens next: • Step 1: Screening application on ZipRecruiter • Step 2: Selected candidates complete our full application (including questions about your ability to integrate a biblical worldview in your teaching) • Step 3: Finalists create a sample enrichment lesson demonstrating biblical integration and explicit instruction • Step 4: Final interview where you'll teach the "I Do" portion of your sample lesson Join Us We're looking for someone who loves Jesus, kids, math, and creating something special. This role is for a builder, not a maintainer. For someone who sees math as beautiful and wants to help students see it too. For someone who believes teaching is discipleship and every lesson is an opportunity to point students toward their Creator. If you're ready to design creative curriculum, inspire students, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.
