You already know what gifted students are capable of — because you were one. If you've spent years watching that potential squandered by low expectations and one-size-fits-all lesson plans, here's the alternative.

At gt.school, your cohort of 15–20 K–12 learners moves through curriculum 5–10x faster than a standard classroom allows. Your job is to keep raising the ceiling: delivering one-hour life skills workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback, and running individualized motivation sessions using Coachbot analytics to connect each student's goals to measurable app advancement. You'll watch students who once stumbled over their words pass the Test2Pass and walk away ready to present to any room. You bring your own academic record to every session. There's no script.

This is not classroom teaching. No grading pile, no classroom management, no lowest-common-denominator lesson plan. Those who build strong track records here — consistent student satisfaction, 100% goal-completion rates, demonstrated skill mastery — become candidates for lead roles, developing a small team of peers while maintaining their own cohort.

Apply now if you're ready to hold gifted students to the standard they deserve.

What you will be doing

  • Delivering one-hour life skills workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback to a cohort of 15–20 K–12 students using gt.school's curriculum and your own academic expertise
  • Running individualized motivation sessions, using Coachbot analytics to track each student's advancement in learning apps against their goals
  • Administering mastery-based Test2Pass assessments to confirm student skill retention
  • Adapting delivery in real time using storytelling, earned credibility, and AI-personalized instruction to keep gifted learners challenged and engaged
  • Tracking progress against 100% goal-completion and 95% student satisfaction benchmarks

What you will NOT be doing

  • Managing a traditional classroom — every student here chose to be here
  • Grading papers, writing report cards, or handling the administrative overhead of a standard teaching role
  • Teaching to standardized tests or external assessment mandates
  • Dumbing down content — students here are capable of engaging with the full depth of your expertise
  • Working with disengaged or average-pace learners

Key responsibilities

Coach a cohort of gifted K–12 students to master essential life skills and accelerate academically through personalized, high-standard mentorship.

  • Daily self-reported usage of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or equivalent)
  • Legal right to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
