As an online chemistry instructor, your job is to teach students in a virtual classroom about one or more elements of chemistry. In this remote role, you utilize resources from the internet to demonstrate chemical interactions, plan a course outline, give a daily or weekly lecture on chemistry topics, and grade assignments submitted by students. Online chemistry instructors also help tutor students one-on-one, particularly on difficult elements of chemistry. Many online chemistry instructors spend at least some time working from home, but it's also common to work from a classroom at a college or university, as this provides you with access to resources and a safe environment for mixing chemicals.
