    Part-Time Instructor (Coding, Robotics, and Youth Technology Programs) Join Love to Code Academy as a Part-Time Instructor and help students grow through challenge, teamwork, and real responsibility. Love to Code Academy is a youth character development academy that uses coding, robotics, and technology as environments where students practice persistence, collaboration, and leadership in real time. We grow kids, not just coders. We are hiring part-time instructors to lead engaging, structured after-school classes for students across multiple age groups and program types. Instructors may be placed in different environments based on strengths and academy needs, including: • K–2 Coding and Robotics • 3–5 Coding and Robotics • Advanced student environments This is not a lecture-based teaching role. Instructors are coaches of character responsible for creating the environment, guiding students through challenge, reinforcing behaviors, and maintaining standards that drive real growth. Students build games, robots, and systems — but more importantly, they build character. We are an early-stage program with a strong foundation, and this role plays a direct part in executing and scaling that vision. If you are looking for meaningful work where you can lead, coach, and make a visible impact on students, this is that opportunity. This is a part-time position (20–25 hours per week) with after-school, evening, and occasional weekend hours.
