Python Job: Teacher for the children's Programming Club

We are an educational start-up focused on teaching children computer programming in both Portuguese and English. We integrate information technologies into our students’ education. Algorithmics combines offline and online education to teach children from 7 to 17 years old.

We have 6 vacancies outlined and numbered below. Please note that these are separate roles with specific skill sets so please only apply to the role/roles that are relevant to your experience. There is a lot of information here, please read carefully.

We are rushing on and looking for the most qualified teacher for our youngest programmers who are just getting to know the IT world, a Sensei, a mentor, someone who wants to do the things inviting good karma — to teach children! Helping them to develop, find the growth points, overcome difficulties, and prove that they can do more!

What you need to know about us:

We are the smart rebels in the Edtech world, we generate crazy ideas and can implement them.

We have our own educational + video platform + Learning Management System = gun-power product!

Our quality, like love — is absolute.

We appreciate organized work, but people and their interaction are more important.

We are not afraid to make mistakes — after falling, we get up and win.

We work a lot, but we don't spend money on useless things.

We accept the unique nature of everyone, can support each other, and vividly relax together.

What you will have to do:

Create a cool, driving environment that you and your students would rush to every day. Set the mood!

Teach and inspire. The groups are small, up to 12 students.

· We have our own platform where the kids post their projects, vote, communicate, write their own applications and games. You will also be interested.

· The tasks are already selected in a super-professional manner. Your task is to motivate, guide, and help if something does not work out.

3. Provide feedback for parents on their children's successes, difficulties, and so on. Not every day but 4-5 times during a course.

And what you exactly will not do:

Write methodological guidelines and lesson plans — everything is already done. You shall read it before the lesson and go ahead, lighting up the hearts!

Spend time checking homework. We simply don't have them.

Messing around with paperwork —no reports and unnecessary bureaucracy.

Check out "simple" tasks — an auto-check is provided. There are also tasks for creating code and making projects at the end of the course. Here you will face pure creativity: you help the children to discover their ideas, overcome difficulties, and make a product they will be proud to present. Emotions and wow effects can not be conveyed!
