Descartes Learning Club is seeking passionate and engaging instructors to teach small-group math and logic enrichment classes for K–8 students. Our programs take place on weekday afternoons and weekends at school campuses and community locations across the San Francisco Bay Area.

We offer onsite (in-person) classes ranging from 1 to 2.5 hours, typically scheduled between 3:00 or 3:30 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, with additional opportunities on weekends. Most instructors teach 6–10 hours per week, depending on their availability. Class schedules vary by location. Our current teaching sites include:

• San Francisco (our largest cluster, with many locations conveniently near BART or Muni)
• Pacifica
• Daly City
• San Bruno
• Menlo Park / Palo Alto
• Portola Valley
• Hayward
