REMOTE MATH COMPETITION COACH (AIME/JMO)

<p><strong>Start: August 2026</strong><br><strong>Job Type:</strong> Full-Time (30–40 hours/week, W2); Remote (U.S. based)<br><strong>Compensation:</strong> $75+/hour for teaching + $25-35/hour for non-teaching/admin time</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Join Think Academy as a full-time Math Competition Coach, teaching AIME and JMO-level content to advanced competition students. Teach with a structured curriculum, receive paid training, and grow into long-term coaching and curriculum roles. This is a long-term teaching opportunity — not a short-term tutoring role.</p> <h3 class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">About Think Academy</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is an education technology company providing K–12 extracurricular learning services through science and technology. We provide full-cycle services to foster students' critical thinking, strengthen their logic skills, and help them achieve their goals through innovative teaching techniques. Each week, more than 6 million students are enrolled across TAL's online and offline education platforms.</p> <h3 class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Why This Role Is Different</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself. Here, you coach within a structured instructional system: curriculum, problem sets, training, and team support are already in place, so you can focus on teaching quality and student growth instead of building materials from scratch.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Stronger Teaching Support</strong> — we provide pre-developed curriculum and lesson materials, structured onboarding, ongoing training, and a team to collaborate with instead of teaching in isolation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Long-Term Career Growth</strong> — high performers can grow into Senior Coach, Curriculum Development, or Academic Operations/Management roles</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Competitive, Growing Earnings</strong> — paid for both teaching and non-teaching work, with performance-based raises, and the potential to move into year-round teaching for more stable long-term income</li> </ul> <h3 class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">What You'll Do</h3> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Teach AMC10 / AIME / JMO competition problems virtually through the Think Academy Teaching Platform</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop personalized training plans tailored to students' levels and goals</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Create high-quality problem sets, handouts, and learning materials aligned with various competition systems</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Stay up to date with the latest trends, formats, and problem styles of annual math contests</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Guide and mentor students in preparing for local and international math competitions, including BMT, HMMT, and others</li> </ul> <h3 class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Schedule &amp;
