Virtual Student Mentor $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a hybrid position that requires you to be physically located in Arizona.
Licensed teachers ready to step away from classroom management and begin transforming student lives are encouraged to apply.
Imagine a role where your focus shifts from lesson plans, lectures, and grading to mentoring young people into confident, capable individuals.
Unbound Academy redefines what teaching means. This hybrid position supports a fully virtual, tuition-free Arizona charter school that eliminates worksheets in favor of hands-on learning and prioritizes personal development. Students handle core academics independently in just two focused hours per day using AI-powered tools. The remainder of their time is dedicated to building practical skills through guided workshops, coaching, and exploration.
Your role will not involve delivering scripted lessons or monitoring a virtual classroom. Instead, you'll facilitate high-energy online sessions that push students to think critically, create, collaborate, and develop. You'll guide them through storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and problem-solving while fostering independence, confidence, and executive function.
This position is not suited for educators seeking to replicate traditional schooling on Zoom. It's designed for licensed teachers willing to relocate to Arizona, operate in a hybrid model, and prepare students for real life.
