Language Arts Course Designer, Gt.school (Remote) - $100,000/Year Usd

Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting this role for our client, gt.school. Have you got what it takes?

Do you know the magic formula to crush the AP Lit & Lang exams? If you aced your own exams and are ready to help other students do the same, join gt.school!

gt.school helps gifted and talented students accelerate their learning via fully remote educational apps. We believe technology can deliver an educational experience that engages and teaches kids 3-5x faster than the standard teacher-classroom model.

You will approach learning through the lens of tutoring: when students only have 1-2 hours a week to spend on a subject, what are the most important concepts, tools, and skills to learn? Success in this role will be measured by the percentage of students scoring 4+ on their AP exams.

If you’re eager to give kids a learning experience that actually makes them love school, we urge you to apply.

What You Will Be Doing

• Making yourself available for 1-to-1 tutoring calls when students require it
• Designing activities for live Zoom sessions that capture the attention of 9-12th grade students better than social media or video games

• Hosting lectures or traditional "classes" to teach the content
