About Think Academy
Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is a leading education company dedicated to helping K–12 students build strong academic foundations, confidence in math, and long-term learning ability through high-quality teaching and thoughtfully designed curriculum.
Why This Role Is Different
Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you teach within a structured instructional system — curriculum, lesson materials, training, and team support are already in place, so you can focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.
- Stronger Teaching Support — high-quality curriculum and lesson materials, structured onboarding, ongoing training, and a team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation
- Long-Term Career Growth — high performers can grow into Senior Teacher, Teacher Trainer, or Academic Operations/Management roles
- Competitive, Growing Earnings — paid for both teaching and non-teaching work, with performance-based raises up to 3 times a year, and an end-of-semester commission
What You'll Do
- Teach math (Algebra 1, Geometry and above) in a clear, engaging, student-centered way, using our curriculum, lesson materials, and instructional guidance
- Lead virtual classes with ~18 students, creating a positive, high-expectation learning environment
- Grade homework, give timely feedback, and communicate professionally with students/parents on progress and learning plans
- Participate in training, lesson prep, and ongoing professional development
Schedule & Commitment

- Class windows (Pacific Time): Wed-Fri, 4pm-8pm and Sat-Sun, 9am-8pm
- Once classes are assigned, your schedule stays consistent week to week (except federal holidays)
- We are looking for candidates who can commit to at least one year consistent teaching schedule
Compensation & Benefits
- Teaching Hours: $35-45/hour
- Non-Teaching/Admin Hours: $16-20/hour (grading, class prep, parent communication)

- Qualified teachers may be assigned more long-term classes, or have expanded responsibilities

Who We're Looking For
