About The Position

Snapology is seeking a professional, dependable, and organized instructor to teach and coordinate hands-on STEAM enrichment programs for children ages 3–14 at partner schools, recreation centers, libraries, and community facilities in and around Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester, Eliot, and South Berwick.

The instructor takes ownership of assigned programs, including reviewing lessons, preparing supplies, teaching, coordinating equipment, and returning materials organized and complete.

Compensation is $18.00 per hour. Bonuses may be available for completing qualifying program contracts, with amounts, eligibility, and requirements provided before each assignment.
