Is This You?

Imagine standing with your students at the Lincoln Memorial, walking them through the Holocaust Museum in D.C., and helping them see God’s sovereign hand shaping American history. Next year? Leading them through Europe. The year after? Israel.

You’re not stuck in a classroom lecturing from a textbook. You’re leading experiences that bring history to life—staging the Andersonville trial with your students as lawyers and witnesses, running virtual Capture the Flag to teach how the French joining the American Revolution changed everything, designing courses like “The World’s Greatest Baddies” (Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot) that students actually want to take.

You love history deeply—not just dates and facts, but the stories, the drama, the way God has worked through human events. You can explain why the Reformation mattered, get animated about the Constitutional Convention, and naturally help students see God’s providence without it feeling forced.

But you also love kids. You don’t just love the content—you love the students. You see teaching as discipleship. You genuinely care about the middle schooler who thinks history is boring, the high schooler who’s disconnected, and the student who needs someone to believe in them. You want to walk alongside them, pointing them to Christ while igniting a passion for history they didn’t know they had.

You want meaningful work that fits your life—2-3 days per week, fully remote, with room to grow. You’re tech-savvy, energetic, and love creating engaging experiences after you have build foundational knowledge through direct teaching. You want to be part of building something special: a program where students do more than learn history—they fall in love with the story of how God has shaped history.

The Position & What You’ll Do

Your Core Responsibilities:

• Teach live virtual history classes (45-55 minutes, 1-2x per week) to students in grades 6-12 using engaging direct teaching and interactive methods—simulations, debates, reenactments, student presentations, discussions
• Lead educational trips including a 3-day D.C. trip (this year), potential Europe trip (next year), and Israel trip (when we teach ancient history)
• Design creative history courses like “Woman Warriors: From the biblical Deborah to Margaret Thatcher” or other outside-the-box topics that capture student interest
• Select or create curriculum for World History, US History, Ancient History, and other historical periods
• Weave biblical worldview naturally throughout your lessons—helping students see God’s sovereignty, providence, and faithfulness throughout human history. Your biblical integration is gospel-oriented, not solely character-oriented.
• Differentiate instruction for mixed-ability classrooms 
• Build authentic relationships with students and their families, inspiring kids who may have lost interest in history

Collaboration & Community:

• Work alongside our team of educators who share your passion for bringing learning to life
• Engage actively in our Lemons-Aid community—you’re not an isolated contractor
• Participate in ongoing professional development
• Contribute your ideas and creativity to strengthen our program

What This Job Is NOT

Let’s be direct about who this role isn’t for:

• NOT a lecture-based position — If you love standing in front of a classroom delivering information for 50 minutes, this isn’t your role.
• NOT following a textbook chapter-by-chapter — There’s no rigid scope-and-sequence. You have creative freedom.
• NOT a full-time position — If you need 40 hours and benefits for a family of four, this won’t meet your needs.
• NOT for people who need a lot of direction — You’ll get support, but you need to take ownership and run with creative freedom.
• NOT a checkbox Christian role — If biblical worldview integration feels awkward or forced to you, this isn’t the right fit. We’re looking for someone who naturally sees God’s hand in history.
• NOT for desk-bound teachers — You’ll lead a multi-day trip once per year. Your responsibility will be the teaching on the trip, not planning the trip. This requires energy, flexibility, and a sense of adventure.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in History or related field
• Teaching certificate (active or lapsed) or willingness to obtain one
• Teaching experience (classroom, tutoring, homeschool, or online instruction)
• Strong history content knowledge across multiple periods (US History, World History, Ancient History)
• Ability to naturally integrate a biblical worldview—gospel-oriented and helping students see God’s sovereignty in historical events
• Advanced tech proficiency including:
  
  • Zoom and its advanced features (breakout rooms, whiteboard, annotations, shared screens)
  • Learning Management Systems (LMS platforms)
  • Educational technology tools
  • Or demonstrated ability to learn new technology quickly
• Energy and flexibility to lead educational trips (D.C., Europe, Israel)
• Commitment to direct teaching and interactive, experiential teaching. This is not discovery learning, inquiry, or constructivism.

Preferred:

• Ability to teach English Language Arts in addition to History (additional hours available)
• Experience designing creative courses or curriculum
• Experience leading student trips or group travel
• Understanding of differentiated instruction for mixed-ability classrooms

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate ($25-$35/hr, depending on leadership potential, education, certification, and experience)
• Guaranteed minimum 10 hours per week regardless of enrollment
• Growth potential: Expand hours through course creation, English teaching, team leadership, or hire other teachers 
• Paid sick leave
• 401(k) with company matching
• Unlimited free classes at Lemons-Aid Learning for your homeschool children (space permitting)
• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Flexible schedule — typically 2-3 days per week
• Travel opportunities — lead educational trips to D.C., Europe, and Israel

Start Date — August 2026 or sooner, depending on availability
