Part-Time Science Teacher (After School Hours, 5 Yr Old Twin Boys)

Private Family, Part-Time, Monday/Wednesdays OR Tuesday/Thursdays, 3:00-5:00pm, $85/Hour ($170/Visit)

We are looking for an in-person engaging and enthusiastic science/STEM teacher to provide in-home fun, project-based activities for two energetic 5 year old twin boys after school. This is an excellent opportunity for a science teacher who has experience working with young children using interactive age-appropriate science and STEM activities: a part-time after school position two days a week teaching only two students that pays $85/hour ($170/visit). This is an immediate opportunity for the current 2026/27 school year.

The boys get out of their Montessori school at 2:30pm, and we are looking for a science teacher who can facilitate and deliver age-appropriate project-based lessons and programing that is fun, engaging and interactive, either on Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays. The teacher will create engaging hands-on science and STEM-based lessons and activities using project-based materials (for example: using LEGOs, boxes, outdoor nature, etc.) that help build a foundational understanding of science and the way things work, and help facilitate a love of learning. The goal is to foster a love and appreciation of STEM subjects while helping the children gain confidence in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

The parents will defer to the teacher regarding the programming and materials, but the teacher should be able to supply the materials and the lessons should be fully interactive—not just mainly books or screens. The right teacher should be professional, reliable and on-time, patient, warm, enthusiastic, and able to relate to and fully engage children of this age. Looking for a creative teacher who can implement calm authority while facilitating learning in a way that is enjoyable. (Both children are curious and enjoy engaging and hands-on creative learning.) Teacher candidates should have at least a BA and a minimum of three years of professional teaching experience working with early elementary students. State teacher certification is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

-Provide one-on-one (or together when appropriate), in-home science/STEM instruction and project-based activities for two 5 year old students.

-Develop engaging lessons and activities that introduce basic science and STEM concepts in a way that is fun and interactive.

-Adapt lessons to each child's abilities, learning style and developmental stage.

-Communicate with parents regarding lesson progress and future learning goals.

Requirements

Minimum BA and at least 3 years of professional science and/or STEM activity teaching experience working with young children is required. (Full-time early elementary classroom experience is preferred.) State certification is preferred, but not required. Must have experience and be comfortable teaching science and STEM activities to young children using interactive and engaging methods and teaching materials that the teacher supplies, uses and recommends. Must have your own reliable transportation and cell phone, and must be able to travel to the location of the students in Houston, TX 77024, either on Monday & Wednesday afternoons or Tuesday & Thursday afternoons from 3pm-5pm. Must have good communication skills, and must be willing to interview remotely via live video chat and in person in Houston, TX 77024.
