Coding Tutor - Part Time (Cerritos/La Palma)

Job Summary

theCoderSchool is looking for passionate Code Coaches to teach our next generation how to change the world! You will meet incredible kids, teach them how to code (and how to think like a coder!), and be rewarded with an amazing experience. This is a part-time position with flexible hours depending on your schedule. Our open hours will be generally 2pm-7pm on weekdays and 9:00am to 3:00pm on Saturdays. Applicants MUST be able to work IN PERSON at the La Palma/Cerritos location. We will also be working with some local schools in the area. We will provide Instructor Training, and will use more of a "teaching methodology" than a curriculum. Much of our teaching will be reverse-engineering games or concepts, and will adapt to a particular student's interests and skills.

Responsibilities
A Code Coach is a mentor who teaches kids how to code. At theCoderSchool, we have three basic teaching styles - your assignment will depend on schedule, ability, and desire.
Private and Semi-Private Tutoring. One-to-one or one-to-few coding lessons for kids. Typically in Scratch/Snap for the younger kids and Javascript/HTML, Python and beyond for older kids. Specialty programming like Unity or Swift is a PLUS.
You may also be teacing At School group classes. Teach a group of 10+ year olds how to present their ideas like Steve Jobs. This group session gives our students a chance to play logic games, prepare for their presentation at the quarterly Coder Fairs, and inspire each other.

Other responsibilities will include: camps, events, at school sessions.

This position rocks because you will:
* Meet, mentor, and grow amazing kids who are ready to learn, and potentially manage a team of kids to create an application.
* Meet and communicate with parents - many of whom will be techies themselves, who work at some of the best companies and startups in the LA Area.
* Give back to the community and help grow our next generation by sharing your knowledge of technology

Requirements
What do we want from you? Read on.
* PASSION. All caps! You ooze excitement for technology; you can’t wait to play with the latest 3D gaming platform. Your students must be inspired by your energy and enthusiasm :)
* Great Communicator. There will be plenty of chatting with parents, and of course it’s often necessary to explain concepts in a few different ways!
* Kid at heart. Our best coaches understand what gets kids excited because they love the same things: gamers please apply!
* Coding Skills. Strong grasp of basic procedural programming. General knowledge of one or more languages is assumed - Scratch, Python, Javascript, PHP, HTML/CSS, Java are most helpful. Deep technical skills aren't necessarily required - we prefer you communicate and empathize well with your students.

* more languages you know the better!

* Big plus for game development and app development: Unity especially.

* Experience teaching kids is a big plus!

* Exp with Roblox/Lua, Minecraft a PLUS!
