Job description

Math & Problem Solving Faculty

Location: Manhattan, NYC 

About Brain Power

Brain Power Enrichment is a pioneer in intellectual enrichment for bright and talented young minds. For more than 30 years, we have built a reputation as one of the most rigorous and inspiring after-school programs for gifted students. Our world-class faculty come from leading institutions across the globe, and our alumni regularly go on to Ivy League and other top-tier universities.

Headquartered in Canada, where we serve thousands of students each year, Brain Power also offers virtual programs worldwide. Now, we are bringing our award-winning model to the United States with our first Manhattan campus opened in early 2026.

The Role

We are seeking exceptional part-time faculty members in both Language Arts and Mathematics, across elementary through high school levels (Grades 1–12).

This is not a typical teaching role. At Brain Power, you will lead seminar-style classes of 6–12 highly motivated, gifted students. Our pedagogy is rooted in Socratic dialogue—teachers guide students through rigorous discussions, probing questions, and challenging ideas that inspire critical thinking, creativity, and leadership. In Mathematics classes,  you will challenge students with multi-step problem solving, logic, spatial reasoning, mathematical creativity, and real-world applications that stretch beyond the school curriculum.

All materials are provided, developed and tested over decades of practice. Yet we know the true magic happens when faculty bring their own creativity, intellectual flair, and research interests into the classroom.

Classes meet once per week for two hours across the academic year (34 weeks). This flexible, freelance role allows you to make a profound impact while maintaining your academic, professional, or creative pursuits.

Why Join Brain Power?

  • Prestige & Purpose: Mentor the next generation of global leaders. Our alumni regularly matriculate at Ivy League and elite universities, with faculty playing a central role in that journey.
  • Socratic Pedagogy: Teach in a style that mirrors the intellectual rigor of top universities—small, seminar-style classes focused on dialogue and discovery.
  • Intellectual Community: Join a peer group of scholars, researchers, and advanced degree holders who bring a university-level culture to our program.
  • Innovation Sandbox: While materials are provided, faculty are encouraged to bring their own ideas, workshops, and intellectual passions to the classroom.
  • Small Class Sizes: 4–12 students per class ensures meaningful mentorship and engagement.
  • Flexibility: Evening and weekend classes allow you to balance this role with research, graduate study, or professional practice.
  • Competitive Compensation: Pay is commensurate with your experience and the transformative educational experiences you provide.

Ideal Candidate

  • Educational Background: We do not require teaching certificates, although they are welcome! If you are an academic, pursuing higher education, or have a math degree and love math, we want to hear from you!
  • Mindset: Passion for ideas, commitment to rigorous intellectual engagement, and the ability to inspire bright young learners.
  • Experience: Teaching certification is welcome but not required. Prior experience with gifted or advanced students is an asset.
  • Location: Reliable commute to Manhattan, NYC (We work at Nord Anglia International School after hours at 111 E 22nd St, New York, NY 10010) 

How to Apply

If you are ready to bring your intellect, passion, and leadership to the classroom, and to shape the future of gifted students in New York City, we would love to meet you.
