About Strive | Making Kids’ Education Joyful & Meaningful

Strive is an online math and coding school for kids (8-16). We help students start and commit to their math and coding journeys by making the subjects fun and exciting. We focus, above all else, on making the process of learning joyful.

• Our mission is to make education more joyful and meaningful. We teach coding, math and custom STEM courses to kids aged 8 to 16, and build the tools to support teachers to deliver engaging learning experiences.
• We’re a remote-first company with teachers and employees from South Africa, Singapore, India, the USA, and the Philippines.
• We’re a well-funded startup backed by YCombinator and early investors of Spotify and Facebook.

Role | Teaching kids coding and math online

Many kids find math boring, many more are afraid, and even more think they are not “Math People”. This self doubt can trickle into many other subjects and careers if not addressed at an early age.

You will have the opportunity to transform kids’ lives by fundamentally reframing their confidence and perception of math or coding. You’ll give these kids 1 -2 joyful hours a week, where they will learn not only that they are smart enough to for math but that the process itself is incredibly fun.

Outside of teaching you will have the opportunity to be involved with various different aspects based on your interest:

• Creating content that will empower the full Strive team to teach math better e.g. worksheets, visual manipulatives, etc…
• Running math competitions
• Peer-reviewing class recordings and providing feedback
• Creating new curricula for different countries’ math progression
• Providing product feedback on our in-house platform we use to teach math: https://strivemath.org/worksheet
• Conducting parent-teacher sessions to share progress updates on the student’s learning

Some more details

• Teach kids ages 8-16 math over Google Meet/Zoom.
• As a teacher, your role will be to guide the students to learn the math visually and understand the WHY behind various math concepts. In such a way that they can proudly say “I did this myself” or “we did this together”. This will require a lot of patience, empathy, and the skill of coaching. You’ll be problem solving and learning together along the way, and often our teachers learn a lot from their students.
