Private Middle School Teacher

Thrive Education Partners • Miami Beach, FL

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

Thrive Education Partners is seeking a full-time private educator for a rising 6th-grade girl in Miami Beach, FL. This role is for a strong, intelligent student who is doing well academically but has faced social pressures in previous school settings. The family is transitioning to a homeschool model and seeks a teacher who can facilitate a rich, well-rounded curriculum while nurturing the student's character, wellness, and compassion. The educator will work in partnership with Thrive's Education Management team for curriculum, coaching, assessments, and record-keeping. This is an elite-lifestyle family that splits time between Miami Beach and New York City, and the educator should expect to travel with the family, with expenses covered and time off provided when not actively instructing. The ideal candidate is warm, kind, emotionally intelligent, and can serve as a values-forward mentor, modeling good values and healthy habits. They should be professional yet relatable, comfortable in a Christian household, and adaptable to a flexible schedule that includes travel.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required.
• Experience working with upper elementary or middle school-aged students, ideally in a private, homeschool, or 1:1 setting.
• Already based in or around Miami Beach preferred.
• Comfortable and authentic working within a Christian, faith-centered household.
• Willingness and ability to travel with the family, including on short notice.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Background check required.

Nice To Haves

• Florida state teaching license strongly preferred.
• Experience teaching or homeschooling upper elementary/middle school students, ideally with bright, socially perceptive girls.
• Comfortable serving as a values-forward mentor, not just an academic instructor.
• Confident facilitating a curriculum designed in partnership with Thrive's Education Management team, rather than building one from scratch alone.
• Warm, emotionally intelligent, and attuned to the social dynamics of preteen girls (mean-girl culture, social media pressure, friendship dynamics).
• Physically fit and genuinely health-minded, with a lifestyle aligned to a family that is highly intentional about wellness and healthy habits.
• Professional and polished enough to represent the family well while traveling, but personable and youthful in energy.
• Flexible and travel-ready, including on short notice, with no major obstacles to being away from home for extended periods.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate core academic subjects (math, reading/writing/ELA, science, social studies) using curriculum selected in partnership with Thrive's Education Management team.
• Adapt and tailor curriculum as needed, working closely with Thrive's Education Manager.
• Work closely with Thrive's instructional coaching support to continually refine teaching approach.
• Support extracurricular selection and participation alongside the family and Thrive.
• Administer assessments and progress monitoring as coordinated with Thrive.
• Maintain records and build a portfolio of the student's work and progress over time.
• Adapt instruction to a highly intelligent, observant student who is already a strong independent thinker.
• Reinforce kindness, compassion, and strong character values in daily interactions, not just formal lessons.
• Support the family's Christian faith and help integrate age-appropriate spiritual development into the homeschool rhythm.
• Model and encourage healthy life choices and habits, consistent with the family's strong focus on health, wellness, and nutrition.
• Help the student navigate healthy friendships and social dynamics, especially in light of recent peer pressure and social media challenges.
• Reinforce the family's digital detox and support a healthy, balanced relationship with technology going forward.
• Travel with the family to their Miami Beach and New York City homes, and potentially other destinations, sometimes on short notice.
• Adapt to a schedule that shifts around the family's travel calendar.

Benefits

• Annualized salary of $65,000–$95,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
• Health benefits available.
• Travel expenses covered by the family.
• Time off provided when not actively leading instruction during travel.
