Technology delivers the curriculum. Great educators bring it to life.
This is an education position inside an elite soccer academy.
You do not need to know soccer.
You need to love teaching.
We are seeking an exceptional STEM Learning Specialist with the heart to mentor students and the expertise to confidently support advanced high school mathematics through Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. This candidate also needs to be comfortable with Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
This is not a traditional classroom position, and it is not simply a tutoring job. It is a unique opportunity for a talented math teacher, science teacher, STEM educator, retired teacher, or experienced academic mentor to help high school student-athletes succeed academically while they pursue extraordinary athletic goals. Your work helps ensure that every student-athlete remains academically eligible to pursue whatever future awaits them—whether that is professional sports, collegiate athletics, higher education, or life after their playing career. This role exists because these students need more than an online curriculum.
They need a great educator.
The student-athletes in this program are balancing rigorous academics with the demands of training, travel, competition, and life inside a professional sports environment. Their coursework is delivered through an accredited online school, which gives them the flexibility they need to pursue elite athletics. But online learning also creates a challenge. Students still need human connection. They need someone who can recognize when a concept is not clicking, identify when multiple students are struggling with the same topic, provide real-time instruction, and help them stay organized, accountable, and confident.
That is where you come in.
Your role is to help recreate the teacher-student interaction that makes great education so powerful. Sometimes that means sitting next to one student and working through a Calculus problem. Other times it means gathering three or four Algebra II students into a lecture room for a focused review before an upcoming assessment. You are not responsible for building the curriculum from scratch. The online school delivers the course content.
You bring the teaching, judgment, encouragement, structure, and human connection that help students truly learn.
No two days will look exactly the same. Before students arrive for their designated education time, you may review progress dashboards, check course pacing, identify overdue assignments, communicate with the online school, and determine which students need support that day.
Once the academic day begins, you may move between individual instruction, small-group teaching, progress monitoring, and student guidance.
For example, one morning, you may notice that several students are preparing for the same Algebra II test and bring them together for a targeted review session. Later, you may help a Calculus student understand derivatives, guide a Physics student through a problem involving motion or energy, and check in with another student who has fallen behind because of team travel. By the end of the day, you may communicate with academic leadership or the online school about pacing, assignments, assessments, or concerns that need follow-up.
This role requires a teacher who can observe, adjust, explain, encourage, and lead. It is structured, but not scripted. It is academic, but deeply personal. It is teaching, mentoring, and educational leadership combined.
The administrative side of this role is educational in nature. It is not paperwork for the sake of paperwork. It exists so the Learning Specialist understands where each student stands and can make informed decisions about how to help.
This position requires strong, confident, high-level mathematics ability.
Candidates must be able to teach and support students in:
Advanced math proficiency is the core qualification for this role. Students may be enrolled in different math courses at the same time, and the successful candidate must be comfortable moving between levels, recognizing gaps, and explaining concepts clearly without needing extensive daily lesson preparation. A candidate who loves mentoring students but is not confident supporting mathematics through Calculus will not be the right fit for this particular opportunity.
We are not looking for someone who simply wants another job. We are looking for someone who sees the purpose in this work.
You may be an experienced math teacher or science teacher who still loves teaching but is ready for a different kind of educational environment. You may be a retired educator who misses working directly with students but does not want to return to a traditional five-day classroom schedule. You may be a gifted STEM teacher who wants to spend more time explaining, mentoring, and building relationships—and less time managing a large classroom.
You may be a great fit if you:
Passion matters here. So do judgment, professionalism, flexibility, and the drive to help students succeed.
Because this role exists within a professional sports environment, flexibility is important. Training schedules, away matches, tournaments, and team travel may occasionally require adjustments to the normal academic schedule. This is not an on-call tutoring position or a collection of short appointments. The selected educator will become a consistent and important presence in the students’ academic week.
