About The Position
SEO seeks a part-time, seasonal Math Instructor for its SEO High School Scholars program in Guilford County, North Carolina. The role is conducted remotely, with online instruction facilitated through Zoom.

The schedule includes online instruction on select Saturdays from 8:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., for up to 13 programming hours per week.

The position pays $40 per hour and is benefits-ineligible.
