You'll bring content expertise, encouragement, and cultural sensitivity to a classroom where every lesson carries real-life weight — and where your investment in students pays dividends far beyond the test.
This role is for a GED Prep course, meeting 2 hours per week for 20 weeks.

Bilingual candidates required
Fluency in French or Spanish — in addition to English — is mandatory for this role. Bilingual instructors are uniquely positioned to clarify complex academic concepts and build the learner confidence that drives GED success.
Requirements

- Administer practice assessments and use data to identify gaps and guide individualized study plans
- Develop and adapt instructional materials that are accessible, relevant, and culturally responsive
- Build a motivating, structured classroom environment that keeps adult learners engaged and on track
- Track learner progress, maintain records, and communicate milestones to the Director of Education
- Connect students to additional support resources — tutoring, testing registration, and wraparound services
What we're looking for
- Strong academic foundation in one or more GED subject areas (math, science, humanities, or writing)
- Experience in adult education, tutoring, or community-based instruction
- Bilingual proficiency in French or Spanish (mandatory)
- Reliable, personal transportation to travel to course locations in Laurel and Hyattsville
- Empathetic and encouraging teaching style — many GED learners carry past academic trauma
- Ability to break down complex concepts for diverse literacy and numeracy levels
- Currently enrolled in or recently completed a degree in Education, a STEM field, Social Sciences, or a related discipline
Why you'll love this role
- Few teaching experiences match watching a student pass their GED — you'll be part of that story
- Gain hands-on curriculum design and assessment experience in a high-need, high-reward setting
- Work within a respected organization with deep roots in the migrant community
- Direct mentorship from education and nonprofit leadership invested in your growth
- Pathway to paid employment as programming funding grows
