Here's a short video about what it's like to work at Mathnasium! - ****************************
We are a group of instructors at Mathnasium of Southeast Portland who are making a real difference in students' lives. Unlike other learning centers and tutoring services, our entire teaching philosophy revolves around teaching math in a way that makes sense to students. We find where a student is at in terms of their math abilities, and build them up from there.
We are a growing organization and are looking for instructors to join our team at our Southeast Portland location. If you're a college student or a recent graduate, this would be an ideal position, but we will consider all backgrounds. We teach in a study hall-type environment with students of all ages, but most of our students are in the K-8th grade range. Therefore, we are looking for future instructors who have solid math skills AND strong communication skills. We help our students solve their own problems, not just tell them what to do.

We will require you to take a math assessment, and once your qualifications are reviewed and deemed sufficient, we will train you in our methodology.
Our backgrounds are diverse. Some of us have or are working towards our math degrees. Others have degrees in the sciences and humanities. Some of us are former school teachers. We are also athletes, musicians, and artists. Bottom line, all of us love teaching math, and love seeing that spark of understanding on a student's face. We work hard, and we love what we do.
We are in the midst of an aggressive hiring campaign. If your application matches our needs, it will be responded to within 1-3 business days! If you're interested in joining our team, we'd love to hear from you!

Here's a short video about what it's like to work at Mathnasium! - ****************************
We are a group of instructors at Mathnasium of West Linn who are making a real difference in students' lives. Unlike other learning centers and tutoring services, our entire teaching philosophy revolves around teaching math in a way that makes sense to students. We find where a student is at in terms of their math abilities, and build them up from there.
We are a growing organization and are looking for instructors to join our team at our West Linn location. If you're a college student or a recent graduate, this would be an ideal position, but we will consider all backgrounds. We teach in a study hall-type environment with students of all ages, but most of our students are in the K-8th grade range. Therefore, we are looking for future instructors who have solid math skills AND strong communication skills. We help our students solve their own problems, not just tell them what to do. (We are *not* a private tutoring facility, and we *do not* teach online!)
In addition to math knowledge and communication skills, the other quality we are looking for is coachability. We operate in a unique environment and we utilize a specific teaching methodology that has been time-tested, and bottom line, it works. Therefore, being able to take instruction and be open-minded is paramount. If you believe you have these qualities, please do apply!
We serve our students year-round, so this is an opportunity for regular work. Ideally, you would be available at least 3 days out of the 5 days that we are open, but we are flexible! The more you can work, the better. There is no need to schedule your own students as they will come during our operating hours. And unlike a school, we don't require you to have a teaching certificate. We will require you to take a math assessment, and once your qualifications are reviewed and deemed sufficient, we will train you in our methodology.
Our backgrounds are diverse. Some of us have or are working towards our math degrees. Others have degrees in the sciences and humanities. Some of us are former school teachers. We are also athletes, musicians, and artists. Bottom line, all of us love teaching math, and love seeing that spark of understanding on a student's face. We work hard, and we love what we do.
We are in the midst of an aggressive hiring campaign. If your application matches our needs, it will be responded to within 1-3 business days! If you're interested in joining our team, we'd love to hear from you!
