- Patient, positive, dependable, and genuinely passionate about teaching children
- Highly organized and capable of establishing and maintaining a structured learning environment and daily schedule

- A strong communicator who can provide parents with regular updates regarding academic progress, accomplishments, and areas requiring additional attention
- Comfortable being hands-on and assisting with the children during transportation and family travel when needed
- Available to work occasionally on weekends, with advance notice whenever possible

- Experience working with children with different learning needs, including autism, is strongly preferred
- Ability to speak and teach a second language is highly desirable
- Current CPR/First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain certification promptly
- Valid passport and ability to travel
- Comfortable using computers, online educational platforms, research tools, and other learning resources
- Ability to develop lesson plans, organize coursework, track assignments, and monitor academic progress
We place significant value on a teacher's professional experience, patience, reliability, adaptability, teaching ability, and ability to build a positive and trusting relationship with children.
Travel & Flexibility
Our family travels periodically, and the successful candidate must be willing and able to travel with the family when necessary while maintaining the children's educational routine.
Travel may include airport transfers, flights, road trips, hotel stays, and other transitions. The teacher should be comfortable assisting with the children during transportation and travel in addition to maintaining appropriate educational activities and routines.
This position requires someone who can go with the flow and adapt professionally to schedule changes, including occasional last-minute adjustments, while continuing to provide the children with structure and consistency.

- Transportation
- Hotel/accommodations
- Meals
Compensation Starting salary: $65,000 per year Compensation may be adjusted based on experience, qualifications, professional teaching background, additional languages, and experience working with autism or other learning needs.
What Matters Most to Us
