Remote Math Competition Coach (AIME/JMO)

Remote

Start: August 2026
Job Type: Full-Time (30–40 hours/week, W2); Remote (U.S. based)
Compensation: $75+/hour for teaching + $25-35/hour for non-teaching/admin time

Join Think Academy as a full-time Math Competition Coach, teaching AIME and JMO-level content to advanced competition students. Teach with a structured curriculum, receive paid training, and grow into long-term coaching and curriculum roles. This is a long-term teaching opportunity — not a short-term tutoring role.

About Think Academy

Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is an education technology company providing K–12 extracurricular learning services through science and technology. We provide full-cycle services to foster students' critical thinking, strengthen their logic skills, and help them achieve their goals through innovative teaching techniques. Each week, more than 6 million students are enrolled across TAL's online and offline education platforms.

Why This Role Is Different

Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you coach within a structured instructional system: curriculum, problem sets, 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 — we provide pre-developed 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 Coach, Curriculum Development, or Academic Operations/Management roles
  • Competitive, Growing Earnings — paid for both teaching and non-teaching work, with performance-based raises, and the potential to move into year-round teaching for more stable long-term income

What You'll Do

  • Teach AMC10 / AIME / JMO competition problems virtually through the Think Academy Teaching Platform
  • Develop personalized training plans tailored to students' levels and goals
  • Create high-quality problem sets, handouts, and learning materials aligned with various competition systems
  • Stay up to date with the latest trends, formats, and problem styles of annual math contests
  • Guide and mentor students in preparing for local and international math competitions, including BMT, HMMT, and others

Schedule & Commitment

  • Onboarding starts Summer 2026, with paid in-person training in June/July
  • ~3-4 classes/week (3-hour classes, ~9-12 teaching hours), plus admin hours (problem set development, grading, prep, student/parent communication), total 30-40 hrs/week
  • 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)
  • Commit to at least one year (till May 2027)

Compensation & Benefits

  • Teaching Hours: $75+/hour
  • Non-Teaching/Admin Hours: $25-35/hour (grading, class prep, parent communication, and related work)
  • Performance-based pay increases and bonus opportunities as you grow
  • Benefits: 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance (based on eligibility)
  • Visa sponsorship may be considered for long-term, high-performing teachers

Who We're Looking For

  • Academic background in Mathematics or a related STEM field (Master's degree or higher)
  • Personal experience in math competitions, with at least qualification to USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad or equivalent level
  • Strong mathematical foundation and deep understanding of competition-style problem solving
  • Ability to explain advanced concepts clearly and inspire students at different levels
  • Available during the class windows above
  • Passionate about competitive mathematics and committed to helping students excel
  • Prior competition math teaching or coaching experience 
  • Participation in team-based math competitions (e.g., BMT, HMMT) is a strong plus
