Virtual Children’s Instructor - Freelance, Remote

About the Client Our client is a US-based, research-informed education provider offering one-on-one and small-group training that strengthens children’s attention, perception, and emotional regulation. They deliver highly structured virtual sessions (and select in-person offerings) using a documented curriculum and evidence-aligned methods. Operating on Eastern Time with high demand, they schedule sessions in advance and emphasize warm parent communication and precise documentation. Why does this role exist? This role exists to meet growing demand for child-focused virtual training delivered with charisma, clarity, and care. The objective is to guide children through prepared, step-by-step lesson plans while keeping them engaged on camera, coordinating with parents, and documenting progress with rigor. The instructor ensures each learner feels safe, seen, and successful—while maintaining consistency, data integrity, and strong communication with the internal team. The Impact you’ll make Session Preparation and Setup Review lesson plans/scripts, intake forms, and prior notes to tailor each session. Prepare required materials (mask, colored papers, marbles, sound files, journal, etc.). Test Zoom setup (camera framing, lighting, audio, background) and take 1–2 minutes for personal grounding. Parent Coordination and Communication Ensure a parent/guardian is present for the first three sessions and clarify their observer role. Note how parent presence/absence affects focus and include this in documentation. Send warm, concise follow-ups to parents via the platform after each session. Live Instruction and Child Engagement Deliver the provided MindSee-style lesson plans in sequence and on time. Use expressive voice, gestures, and playfulness to engage; pace/adjust based on energy and focus.
