Review coursework and feedback, identify errors, and reteach difficult concepts.

Prepare the student for required Discussion-Based Assessments (DBAs) and teacher evaluations without scripting answers.

Track weekly assignments, deadlines, academic performance, and areas requiring improvement.

Communicate proactively with parents about progress, challenges, and upcoming assessments.

Provide brief daily reports and a comprehensive weekly progress summary.

Encourage academic confidence, curiosity, responsibility, self-discipline, and a positive attitude toward learning.

Required Qualifications

Excellent organizational, lesson-planning, and communication skills.

Patient, encouraging, dependable, and committed to high academic standards.

Reliable internet, webcam, headset, quiet workspace, and backup connectivity.

Willingness to provide verifiable references and complete appropriate screening.

Preferred: Experience with U.S. elementary curricula, Florida academic standards, homeschool education, or FLVS-style online coursework.

Performance Expectations

We expect the teacher to:

Deliver well-prepared, engaging, academically rigorous lessons.

Maintain progress against the official OVS/FLVS weekly schedule.

Ensure the student understands concepts before proceeding.

Support timely completion of coursework and assessments.

Identify and address learning gaps early.

Develop independent reading, writing, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

Provide honest progress reports and consistent communication.

Help the student work toward excellent grades through genuine mastery and independent effort.
