Montessori Tutor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you an expert educator who knows how to transform math anxiety into mathematical joy? At Mi Escuela Montessori, we believe the Montessori method is the original, high-fidelity hands-on STEM curriculum. As we expand into our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility for the 2026–2027 school year, we are hiring a full-time Math & STEM Instructional Coach / Curriculum Specialist who can inspire students to love math, science, and engineering through the power of concrete discovery.

We are seeking a Practitioner-Leader who uses evidence-based Science of Math strategies to build deep conceptual understanding. In this hybrid role, you will split your expertise between two critical areas: delivering direct, small-group Tier 3 math interventions to close achievement gaps, and providing high-level teacher coaching, professional development, and mentorship to our faculty. You will help our classroom Teachers (Guides) master advanced Montessori math materials—bridging the gap between concrete manipulation, abstract mathematical reasoning, and Florida B.E.S.T. Standards.
