Job Description

Teach What You Love. Inspire Curious Minds.

Do you have a skill, passion, or area of expertise you’d love to share? We’re looking for enthusiastic instructors who want to bring ideas to life for engaged, curious students.

Whether your background is academic, artistic, technical, or hands-on, if you enjoy working with youth and teaching in a creative, flexible environment, we want to hear from you.

✔ Teach 1–12 hours per week
✔ Choose your days, hours, and age group
✔ Small, daytime, in-person classes
✔ 30-week school year (September–May)

This Herndon learning center serves homeschooled students in K-12th, so classes go beyond standard school curriculum. Families are looking for depth, creativity, and variety —not worksheets and test prep.

You do not need to be a licensed teacher. You do need enthusiasm, experience, and a genuine interest in sharing your knowledge.

We are interested in hearing from instructors across a wide range of subjects and disciplines. While this list is not exhaustive, the following areas reflect some of our current interests and needs:

  • Chemistry
  • Science
  • Psychology
  • Nurse Educator for Health Classes
  • English, Writing, Reading, Language Arts
  • AI/ Machine Learning
  • Cybersecurity
  • Mythology, Urban Legends, Superstitions
  • Drumming
  • Decorative Arts: Sculpture, Mosaics, Stained Glass, Fiber Arts, Metal Work
  • Woodworking
  • ASL sign language for children (elementary)
  • Civics
  • Geography
  • Business
  • Hand Drumming
  • Architecture, Interior Design or City Planning
  • Model UN
  • Marketing/Advertising
  • Technical Writing
  • Microbiology or Epidemiology
  • Food Science or Food Chemistry
  • Graphic Design
  • Veterinary Science
  • Video Editing or Film
  • Film Appreciation
  • Bookmaking
  • Calligraphy
  • Japanese
  • EMT
  • OTHER IDEAS?....tell us!

High school courses are often an excellent fit for adjunct college professors. Retired and former teachers are welcome to apply, as are subject-matter experts and teaching artists from a wide range of professional fields.

Most classes meet for 1–2 hours per week, with the possibility of scheduling multiple classes back-to-back. Days, times, and session length are negotiable. All instruction is in person at our Herndon location, conveniently situated near the Dulles Toll Road, Fairfax County Parkway, and the Herndon Metro Station (approximately 3/8 mile).

Instructors are engaged as independent contractors. Background checks and reference verification are required. Compensation is negotiable and based on subject matter and experience.
