Math Teacher & Curriculum Designer - Lemons-Aid Learning

Is This You?

A former math teacher who left the classroom to raise one's family, but missed the spark of helping students discover the beauty of mathematics. Or maybe currently teaching in a rigid system, following textbook lessons day after day, dreaming of the creative freedom to design lessons that truly engage students.

One loves math deeply—not just as procedures and solutions, but as a window into God's design. One 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: one loves kids. One doesn't just love the content—one loves the students. One sees teaching as discipleship. One genuinely cares about the 9th grader who's struggling, the 11th grader who's bored, and the middle schooler who thinks they're "bad at math." One wants to walk alongside them, pointing them to Christ while helping them grow in mathematical confidence.

Wants meaningful work that fits your life—2-3 days per week, fully remote, with room to grow. One is tech-savvy, self-directed, and doesn't need someone looking over one's shoulder. One wants 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.

One is not looking for a traditional teaching job. One is looking for a mission.

The Position & What One Will Do

Students at Lemons-Aid Learning complete their Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus curriculum independently at home through mastery-based online programs. One's job isn't to teach Lesson 4.2 on Tuesday and 4.3 on Wednesday. One's job is to make math come alive.

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 the applicant.
• 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 one's 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 one's passion for evidence-based teaching
• Engage actively in our Lemons-Aid community—one is not an isolated contractor
• Participate in ongoing professional development on pedagogy, biblical integration, and curriculum design
• Contribute one's 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 one's time or ours:

• NOT a textbook-following position — There's no scope-and-sequence chart to check off. If one loves the predictability of teaching Section 4.2 on Tuesday and 4.3 on Wednesday, this isn't one's role.
• NOT asynchronous -- One gets to engage in live classes with learners.
• NOT grading busywork — One won't grade 30 problem sets on factoring trinomials. Students complete practice in their online curriculum. One will assess creative projects, presentations, and problem-solving work.
• NOT teaching curriculum content — Students learn new concepts at home. creating enrichment experiences.
• NOT a full-time position — If one needs 40 hours and benefits for a family of four, this won't meet one's needs.
• NOT for people who need a lot of direction — One will get support, but must need to take ownership and run with creative freedom.
• NOT a checkbox Christian role — If biblical integration feels awkward or forced to the applicant, 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 or demonstrated ability to learn new technology quickly
• Commitment to evidence-based pedagogy and explicit instruction (not constructivism or discovery learning) and willing to explore research on how students actually learn math best.

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

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: Submit a resume and a cover letter (including questions about biblical worldview integration, teaching philosophy, and a recorded video response)
• Step 2: Finalists create a sample enrichment lesson demonstrating biblical integration and explicit instruction
• Step 3: Final interview where one will teach the "I Do" portion of one's sample lesson

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.
