Ambassador Teachers with Participate Learning receive full-time, salaried positions. All positions include competitive health benefits and structured professional development opportunities.

Teachers must be able to communicate in English. We request that applicants have at least two years of teaching experience.
Areas of Instruction
Primary education
Guide a group of students for the entire school day. Elementary (primary) school in the USA is kindergarten through fifth grade (ages 5-11).
You will teach all core subjects, including math, science, social studies, and language arts. All subjects are taught in English.
Dual language (bilingual primary)
Similarly to elementary school teachers, dual language teachers also lead classes in all core subjects. However, teachers in dual language programs teach in Spanish or Mandarin with one of two models:
- Full immersion: 90% in Spanish or Mandarin
- 50/50: split between English and Spanish/Mandarin
World languages
(Spanish, French, and Mandarin)
In world language classrooms, native speakers of Spanish, French, and Mandarin provide authentic language instruction. These language teachers will have different groups of students with varying levels of proficiency.
Some elementary schools may offer world language classes each year, but most often world language classes are offered for older children.
English as a second language (ESL)
This program helps newcomers to the USA improve their English. It enables them to achieve academic success and become confident problem-solvers with a strong sense of belonging and connection to the world.
As an ESL teacher, you will have students of all ages with varying degrees of fluency in English. This position requires teachers with a higher level of English proficiency. Qualified applicants usually teach English in their home countries.
Math
In math classrooms in the U.S., teachers guide students through core areas such as arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and problem-solving.
Math is taught every year from the earliest grades through high school, with content becoming more advanced as students progress. Some schools also offer accelerated or advanced math tracks for older students. We are looking for teachers who will teach Math at Middle School (ages 11-13) or High School (ages 14-18).
Science
Science lessons combine hands-on experiments with theory to build curiosity and scientific understanding.
Science is taught throughout elementary and secondary school, with content becoming more specialized in middle and high school. We are seeking teachers to teach General Science at the middle school level (ages 11-13), where students study biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics, or teachers who will teach one of these specific branches at the high school level (ages 14-18).
Social Studies
In social studies classrooms, students learn about history, geography, civics, and culture to better understand societies and how communities function.
We seek teachers for middle school social studies (ages 11-13), where students explore these themes in an integrated way, developing both knowledge and critical thinking skills.
