Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) develops educational opportunities for many of the most eager students in the world.  Since 2003, we have trained tens of thousands of the country’s top students, including nearly all the members of the US International Math Olympiad team, through our online school, learning centers, textbooks, and online learning systems. Over the years, our international online community of advanced problem solvers has grown to over 700,000 members. While our primary focus has been math for most of our history, we have started expanding into new subjects, such as language arts, science, and computer science.


AoPS Academy is our family of afterschool learning centers offering math classes to advanced learners grades 2-12 . All of our campuses are hiring Part Time Math Instructors for the 2021-2022 academic year to teach during weekday evenings or on weekends. You will be working with some of the most talented students in the area in a small classroom setting. We allow our teachers to focus on what they do best: teaching! You can concentrate on exploring interesting math concepts in-depth and work with incredibly talented students.
