CodeSpeak Labs Coach

CodeSpeak Labs teaches kids coding, the language of the 21st century. Jobs in computer programming are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying opportunities, but most schools do not offer any computer science classes. We offer classroom-based instruction during and after school in New York, NY and Orange County, CA for grades K-12.

Responsibilities

CodeSpeak Labs coaches are enthusiastic, committed individuals who love helping kids learn and solve problems. CodeSpeak Labs takes a lab-based approach; the focus is on students doing rather than listening to lectures or reading textbooks. Coaches guide students through activities which progressively develop their coding skills. 

Through each stage of the program, students build working websites, apps, games, and more, and coaches send parents and school administrators regular progress updates via email with links to student work. 

This is a part-time position 2 - 15 hours / week. It’s a great opportunity for undergraduate students, grad students, and working professionals with flexible schedules during the week day (8am - 5pm). Once you’re accepted into the ranks of CodeSpeak Labs Coaches, we’ll match you up with classes and students based on your skills and availability. 

CodeSpeak Labs coaches start at $22/hour for in-person teaching, $20/hour for online teaching. You will receive a 20$ travel bonus for each location you travel to. Regular pay increases will be based on performance.

Requirements

• Infectious Enthusiasm!: You believe all kids can learn to code.
• Experience working with youth, especially as results-oriented teacher or tutor.
• Ability to learn and adapt quickly: You love feedback and constant improvement.
• Computer science skills: We will consider candidates with no prior CS experience who have strong teaching skills and are passionate about learning CS. Applicants with experience with HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Python will have priority to work with our advanced students.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. 

We value diverse perspectives and experiences, and we actively seek staff from underrepresented groups, including but not limited to: people of color, LGBTQ people, and people from low-income families.
