Virtual Student Mentor $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Licensed teachers seeking to shift from school administration to life-changing mentorship are encouraged to apply.
Imagine a role no longer centered on lesson plans, lectures, or grading—one that is dedicated entirely to mentoring young people into confident, capable individuals.
Unbound Academy redefines teaching intentionally. This hybrid position supports a tuition-free, fully virtual Arizona charter school that replaces worksheets with experiential learning and prioritizes personal development. Students work through core academics independently using AI-powered platforms in two concentrated hours each day. The remainder of their day is devoted to building practical skills through facilitated workshops, coaching, and exploration.
You will not be delivering scripted content or monitoring a virtual classroom. Instead, you will facilitate dynamic online sessions that push students to think critically, create, collaborate, and mature. You will guide them through storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and problem-solving while cultivating independence, confidence, and executive function.
This position is not designed for educators attempting to replicate conventional schooling via Zoom. It is for licensed teachers prepared to relocate to Arizona, operate in a hybrid capacity, and support students in ways that genuinely prepare them for life. If you have grown weary of classroom busywork and are ready to engage in the most impactful work of your career, continue reading.
