Job description

Togetherhood is Coming to DC!

We've built an incredible network of over 400 teachers, coaches, and instructors in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Now Togetherhood is coming to DC, and we're looking for amazing instructors who are seeking flexible, good-paying, supplemental work, and are excited about having the freedom to use their own lesson plans and curriculum.

About Togetherhood

At Togetherhood, we're building something special: a vibrant marketplace where passionate educators meet schools and communities hungry for enrichment. Whether it's arts & crafts, skateboarding, breakdancing, or STEM through the lens of Harry Potter, we match talented instructors with opportunities to share their skills and spark joy in the next generation.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to infuse every community with high quality enrichment and education. We're here to support you in sharing your craft, your voice, and your passion with kids who are ready to learn and grow. If you're a dynamic instructor who loves what you teach and why you teach it, we'd love for you to be part of Togetherhood.

What You'll Do

As a member of our network, you will be matched with opportunities to teach ballet (and other enrichment classes!) to K-12 students at schools, buildings, and communities across DC. These teaching opportunities will be for terms that could last anywhere from 6 weeks to 18 weeks. As an after school instructor, you'll have the following responsibilities:

  • Conceive of and create an age-appropriate curriculum for your class
  • Create memorable experience for the children in your class to help them grow and develop a passion for ballet
  • Consistently arrive at your class on time (or early!), prepared with the lesson plan for the day
  • Help children understand why ballet is so wonderful and how it's helped shape you as a person
  • Togetherhood instructors earn $90 - $120 for each one hour class
Who You Are

A fun, enthusiastic, adaptable instructor, with experience teaching school age children, and who:

  • Has excitement, joy, and passion for both teaching kids and personal development/learning
  • Knows how to create a fun, structured, and inclusive classroom environment
  • Brings your own voice and creativity to each class you teach
  • Is cooperative, supportive, flexible
  • Is dependable, proactive, and thrives when given autonomy and also appreciates support and clear expectations
