Modern Age Coders is an online live-learning platform teaching coding and mathematics to students across 15+ countries — from 6-year-olds discovering their first number pattern to working professionals returning to calculus. Every class is live, one-on-one or small-group, taught by a real instructor on video.
We are not a recorded-content company. We are not a worksheet company. Our entire product is what happens in the 60 minutes an instructor spends with a student. That is why we hire slowly and hold a high bar.
The Class Standard (read this before applying)
This applies to both roles and is the single most important part of this posting.
Our students should look at their calendar and feel good that a MAC class is coming. Not "I have to attend." But "finally, it's today."
If a student's parent has to remind them to join, we have failed. If a student joins two minutes early because they want to show you something they tried on their own, we have succeeded.
Concretely, this is what we expect in every session:
- Hook in the first three minutes. Open with a puzzle, a wrong answer to catch, a strange fact, a challenge — not "so today we'll be doing chapter 4."
- The student works, not just watches. No stretch of instructor monologue longer than about five minutes without the student solving, guessing, drawing, or arguing back.
- Wrong answers are treated as gold. "Interesting — why did you think that?" gets used far more often than "no, that's wrong."
- The maths connects to their world. Cricket averages, game economies, pocket money, YouTube view counts, rocket trajectories, exam strategy — whatever that particular student cares about. You are expected to learn their interests and use them.
- Camera on, energy up, name used often. You are a person in the room, not a voice over a slide.
- Never read off a slide. Slides support you; they are not your script.
- End on a cliffhanger. A teaser problem, an unfinished idea, a "next class I'll show you why this breaks." Students should leave curious.
- Adapt live. If the plan isn't landing, change the plan. The lesson plan serves the student, not the other way around.
We measure instructors on student retention and renewal, not just on syllabus coverage. Instructors whose students stay and refer others get more hours, better slots, and higher rates.
Role 1 — Junior Mathematics Instructor
Ages taught: 6–14 (roughly Grade 1 to Grade 8)
What you'll teach
- Vedic Mathematics — sutras, fast multiplication, squares and cubes, divisibility tricks, mental cross-checking
- Mental maths and speed arithmetic — number sense, estimation, abacus-style visualisation
- Foundational school maths — place value, four operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion, basic algebra, mensuration, introductory geometry
- Olympiad and competitive foundations — SOF/IMO, Kangaroo, NSTSE, school-level olympiads: logical reasoning, number patterns, combinatorics puzzles, cryptarithms
- Maths through play — puzzles, magic squares, dice and card probability, tangrams, Fibonacci and golden ratio, mathematical art
- Occasional support for international curricula at primary level (Common Core, UK KS2, IB PYP)
Who we're looking for
Must have:
- Graduate in any discipline, with genuinely strong mathematics up to at least Class 12 level
- Demonstrated experience teaching children aged 6–14 (school, tuition, coaching centre, online platform, or serious volunteering)
- Clear, confident spoken English — our students are in the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, Canada and beyond
- Patience that does not run out on the fourth explanation of the same idea
- Visible warmth and energy on camera
Strongly preferred:
- Formal Vedic Maths / abacus certification or training
- Experience preparing students for olympiads
- Comfort with digital whiteboards and a writing tablet
- Experience teaching students outside India
Role 2 — Senior Mathematics Instructor
Ages taught: 14–65+ (Grade 9 through undergraduate and adult learners)
What you'll teach
- Senior school mathematics — algebra, quadratics, sequences and series, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, vectors, 3D geometry, matrices and determinants, probability and statistics (CBSE, ICSE/ISC, State boards)
- Calculus — limits, continuity, differentiation, applications of derivatives, integration techniques, definite integrals, area and volume, differential equations, series and convergence
- International curricula — AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Precalculus, AP Statistics, IB Mathematics AA/AI (SL and HL), IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics
- Test preparation — SAT Math, ACT Math, JEE Main-level topics
- Undergraduate mathematics — single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics, numerical methods, engineering mathematics
- Applied and adult learners — mathematics for data science and machine learning (linear algebra, calculus for optimisation, statistics), professionals returning to study
You will not be expected to teach all of this. Tell us honestly what you can teach at depth, and we will match you to students accordingly.
Who we're looking for
Must have:
- M.Sc. / B.Tech / M.Tech / M.Phil / Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or Engineering — or equivalent demonstrated mastery
- Real conceptual depth: you can explain why a method works, derive results on the spot, and handle a student who asks the question that isn't in the textbook
- Prior experience teaching at Class 11–12, competitive exam, or undergraduate level
- Ability to hold the attention of a teenager who has already decided maths is boring
- Clear spoken English and comfort teaching international students
Strongly preferred:
- Direct experience with AP, IB, IGCSE or A-Level examination formats and grading criteria
- Familiarity with Desmos, GeoGebra, Wolfram Alpha, or Python/Jupyter for visualising mathematics
- LaTeX for clean notes and problem sets
- Interest in contributing to curriculum and question-bank development (paid separately)

- A laptop or desktop with a working webcam and a stable, wired-or-strong broadband connection
- A quiet, well-lit space with a plain background
- A headset with a decent microphone
- A writing tablet (Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion or similar) — strongly preferred for maths teaching; we can advise on affordable options
- Availability across time zones. Our students are in the US, Europe, the Gulf and Asia, so early morning (6–10 AM IST) and evening (7 PM–12 AM IST) slots are the most valuable
- Punctuality that is close to absolute. Joining late or cancelling on short notice is the fastest way to lose a slot with us
What you get from us
- Structured curriculum, lesson plans and slide decks — you teach, you don't build from scratch
- Onboarding and pedagogy training on how we run engaging classes
- Consistent students rather than one-off sessions, so you see real progress over months
- A genuine growth path: Senior Instructor → Lead Instructor → Curriculum Contributor
- Direct access to the founding team. We are small; good ideas get implemented quickly
- Experience teaching international curricula and students, which is portable and valuable
Pay: ₹200.00 - ₹300.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
- Work from home
Work Location: Remote
