About the Role
Do you enjoy working with kids and helping them build confidence in math? We're looking for part-time Math Instructors to work with elementary and middle school students at our Westmere location, guiding them through math topics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, and pre-algebra.
At Mathnasium, we're not just about getting the correct answers. We help students feel capable, encouraged, and even excited about math. You'll use our proven Mathnasium Method to support kids in a warm, structured environment that makes math make sense.
Our Westmere center is located in a convenient shopping plaza on Western Avenue with easy access from Albany, Guilderland, and surrounding communities.
This is an excellent opportunity for college students, future teachers, or anyone who loves math and wants to make a positive impact.
