Virtual Student Mentor, Unbound Academy - $60,000/year USD

Crossover

Surprise, AZ

Attention Arizona-certified Teachers
Imagine a teaching role where lesson plans, lectures, and grading are off the table—and your entire focus is on mentoring young people to grow into self-assured, capable individuals.
Unbound Academy is creating a tuition-free, fully virtual charter school that trades worksheets for real-world learning and prioritizes personal development. Students complete their core academics in just two focused hours daily using AI-driven platforms. The remainder of their time is spent in immersive, skill-building workshops designed to spark curiosity, resilience, and self-confidence.
Your role won't involve delivering pre-scripted content or managing a conventional virtual classroom. Instead, you'll facilitate dynamic, interactive online sessions that challenge students to explore meaningful topics—storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and beyond. You'll coach them toward self-reliance, support their individual journeys, and help them cultivate the capabilities that truly matter outside the classroom.
This opportunity is not for educators attached to traditional school structures. It's designed for Arizona-certified teachers prepared to work remotely, embrace innovative pedagogy, and guide students in ways that equip them for the complexities of modern life. If you're ready to leave behind the busywork and help shape a new kind of education, this position is calling your name.
What You Will Be Doing
Facilitating engaging, virtual workshops centered on essential life competencies such as creative thinking, effective communication, and analytical problem-solving
Providing one-on-one and small-group mentorship to cultivate self-direction, executive function, and personal confidence in students
Leveraging platform analytics to customize interventions and monitor student development longitudinally
Partnering with other educators to refine and expand project-driven learning modules
Building a supportive, energizing virtual environment where every student feels valued, understood, and motivated to advance
What You Won’t Be Doing
Instructing core academic subjects—AI-powered tutors handle those
Presenting scripted lessons or maintaining a conventional classroom structure
Grading student work or preparing standardized curriculum plans
Virtual Student Mentor Key Responsibilities
Drive student development and readiness for life beyond school by facilitating impactful, practical learning experiences within a flexible, entirely virtual educational framework.
Basic Requirements
Valid US teaching certificate from any state
Background in teaching, mentoring, or coaching students (Grades 4–8 preferred)
Confident virtual facilitation skills; at ease leading sessions on camera
Able to commit to full-time hours (M–F, 8am–5pm Arizona time)
Prepared to start within 2-3 weeks
Enthusiastic about contributing to a technology-enabled, student-focused school environment
