Job Description

Remote English Literature Teacher

Do you believe literature still has the power to change the way we see the world? We do, too. That’s why we’re inviting an experienced English Literature teacher to lead engaging, thoughtful, and creative instruction—entirely online. If you can breathe life into Shakespeare, connect students with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and turn literary analysis into self-discovery, we want your voice in our virtual classrooms.

Where Learning Has No Walls

This isn’t remote teaching the way most imagine it. Your classroom can travel with you, and your students might be logging in from different time zones, but the focus stays rooted in relationships, growth, and dialogue. You’ll guide high school students from across the country through poems, plays, and novels that resonate beyond the page. Whether it’s breaking down Victorian irony or interpreting a modern memoir, you’ll make each moment matter.

We equip you with the right tools: Zoom for dynamic interaction, Google Docs for collaborative close reading, and Canvas for structured planning. You add the magic of connection.

What You’ll Cultivate

Create lesson arcs that challenge students to connect literature to contemporary life, history, and their own identities.
Use formative feedback as an opportunity to coach students and help them discover their unique style, voice, and perspective.
Facilitate vibrant discussions where no one is just “logging in” but leaning in.
Encourage deep reading with personalized book lists, reflective writing, and thematic exploration.
Adjust materials and strategies to support a range of learning styles and language proficiencies.
Empower students to publish, present, and take pride in their interpretations.
Broaden the literary lens to reflect voices across time, geography, and culture.

The Ripple Effect of Your Teaching

What happens in your virtual classroom won’t stay there. Your students will carry new insights into other subjects, personal conversations, and their future writing. They’ll learn to see complexity, to argue thoughtfully, and to empathize through characters and contexts. And they’ll remember your support every time they annotate a new book or stand up for their voice.

Beyond instruction, you’ll shape curriculum with a team that values dialogue and creativity. Your influence will be felt in future units, new elective courses, and evolving pedagogy.

Tech That Works for You

We want you focused on teaching, not troubleshooting. That’s why we’ve built a reliable, responsive digital infrastructure:

Platforms & Tools: Zoom Pro, Canvas LMS, Google Workspace, Flipgrid, and smart grading software.
Collaborative Culture: Weekly team syncs, shared unit banks, and quick peer feedback loops.
Ongoing Learning: Access to seminars on antiracist teaching, virtual engagement, and student wellness.
Comprehensive Support: A responsive student success team, IT on standby, and built-in planning time.

What You Bring

A degree in English, Comparative Literature, or a related field. A master’s helps, but your experience and mindset matter more.
At least 3 years of teaching high school English, with confidence in remote or hybrid instruction.
A gift for unpacking layered texts without losing the joy of discovery.
Familiarity with digital platforms for instruction, but a firm grounding in human-centered teaching.
A commitment to equity and student-centered learning that goes beyond the syllabus.
Experience with asynchronous design or portfolio-based assessment is a strong plus.

Who You’ll Join

You’ll collaborate with educators who believe that teaching literature online can still feel close, conversational, and deeply relevant. We celebrate experimentation, reflection, and authentic learning moments. Every teacher has a voice here—and every student is seen.

Our team is committed to upholding high standards, maintaining clear boundaries, and providing opportunities for growth. We create space for shared laughter, team victories, and ongoing learning.

Salary

This full-time remote position offers an annual salary of $53,610.

Let’s Make Meaning Together

If you see literature as a vehicle for connection, justice, and personal growth, this might be the right chapter for you. Bring your passion for storytelling—we’ll provide the audience, the support, and the digital space to help it land.
