AoPS is on a mission to discover, inspire, and train the great problem solvers of the next generation. Since 2003, AoPS has trained hundreds of thousands of the country’s top students through its online school, in-person academies, textbooks, and online learning systems. AoPS Academy offers unique problem solving curriculum at its in-person locations across the country as well as through the virtual campus. 

The AoPS Academy in San Diego, CA is hiring part-time Teaching Assistants (TAs) with strong math and language arts skills to support our campus during the academic year.

This may be a great fit for you if you enjoy interacting with students, guiding them as they work through challenging math and language arts problems, and helping them feel more confident about math and language arts concepts. 

Academic year TAs work well independently and support students outside of their regular AoPS class time.
