  • Grades K-12 earn $48 - $50.40 per teaching hour
• Part-time hours (generally 10-20 teaching hours/week for teachers allocated to classes)
• Choose your own schedule – new classes can start anytime between December and March 
• Opportunities to supplement your schedule with substitute teaching   
• Fully remote – teach from home! 

Who we are...  

Elevate K-12 is an EdTech company, and we are on a mission to ensure every student receives a high-quality education, regardless of zip code. We are changing the way classrooms work by creating a brand-new category of LIVE, virtual classroom instruction that gives students access to exceptional, certified, live teachers. Using our proprietary technology, our teachers are livestreamed from across the country into thousands of classrooms, providing instruction that would otherwise be unavailable in many districts across the US. Our goal is to enable high-quality, live teaching for every learner.  

About Elevate K-12 LIVE teaching...  

It is just like a regular class, except it is LIVE. We livestream U.S. certified teachers who are teaching remotely into public school classrooms across the country (the students are not remote or homeschooled). When students head into a live classroom, they will feel like it is a regular school day – teachers asking questions, students raising their hands, all made possible by our technology and teachers. Elevate LIVE teaching was built to act, look, feel, and sound like every other classroom.  

Every classroom has a Classroom Coach – the adult in the room to help with classroom management, keeping kids on task, and partnering together with the teacher. Our technology platform was built for K-12 students to facilitate effective, engaging instruction. We also have a 24/7 support network for teachers and schools if issues arise.  

Benefits to teaching with Elevate...  

Our teaching network allows teachers to teach on their own terms! This means part-time hours on schedules you create and the ability to work from home (or any other professional setting). We take away many of the excess burdens that teachers typically shoulder (no more lunch duty) and provide teachers with an engaging curriculum (through Elevate or our district partners), a supportive team, and a tech platform that empowers teachers to focus on teaching.
