Travel-Based Educator for a Globally Mobile Family
Location: International, subject to change. The current plan is a U.S. base in Los Angeles in September and October, and March and April; Miami in November and December; Australia and other locations, including India, in January and February; and Paris and other locations in May and June, with potential summer work.
Start Date: October 2026
Commitment: Full-time annual contracts for a long-term engagement (4+ years preferred)
Children: Two 10-year-old twins, one boy and one girl, entering 5th grade
Structure: One dedicated lead educator will work in partnership with other teachers and tutors.
Compensation: Highly competitive, commensurate with experience, including a full benefits package. Salary starts at $175,000 per year.
Four months of the year will likely be spent at a microschool site in Los Angeles, where the educator will lead and guide individualized, skills-based learning for one child, while collaborating with other teachers on content-focused, project-based learning. For the other months of the academic year, the traveling educator will lead and guide individualized, skills-based learning for both children, including morning skills learning sessions followed by afternoon place-based content lessons and project-based learning.
Overview
A globally mobile family is seeking an exceptional full-time private educator to deliver individualized homeschooling instruction for their 10-year-old twins. A scope and sequence of skills, along with various summative assessment protocols, will be provided, while individual curricular choices and lesson-planning decisions will be made by the traveling teacher.
The educator will take full ownership of the children’s academic journeys while collaborating closely with others on the team to ensure alignment, consistency, and shared experiences with both children where appropriate.
This is a rare opportunity for a top-tier educator to operate with creativity and intellectual depth in a highly enriched, international environment.
The Role
The educator will:
- follow an individualized, skills-based curriculum to teach reading, writing, math, and critical thinking to both children
- design and implement a bespoke, place-based content curriculum, including literature, history, science, art, music, philosophy, and other topics, tailored to each child’s learning style, strengths, and developmental needs
- partner with other educators to ensure cohesion across subjects, schedules, and shared learning opportunities
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with other educators to implement a fully customized academic program
- Deliver instruction across core subjects (ELA, math, science, history, art, and music)
- Integrate travel-based, experiential, and interdisciplinary learning
- Apply differentiated teaching strategies where appropriate
- Assess progress, keep detailed records, and provide thoughtful, structured feedback
- Coordinate regularly with others to align schedules, goals, and shared experiences
- Maintain academic consistency and structure across a highly mobile lifestyle
Educators will:
- travel with the family (summer and winter breaks to be determined based on mutual alignment)
- be provided accommodations (live-in, nearby hotel, or short-term rental) while traveling outside Los Angeles
- work primarily weekdays (weekends generally off) for approximately 40 hours per week
Qualifications
- bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred
- strong teaching background (elementary/middle school, private tutoring, or homeschool environments) with at least 5, and ideally 10, years of experience with students ages 10 to 14
- experience with individualized instruction and curriculum design preferred
- eligibility to work in the U.S.; ability to work in Europe preferred
- fluency in English required; fluency in a second language or languages is of interest
- exceptional professionalism, discretion, flexibility, and adaptability
Ideal Candidate Profile
- top-tier educator, with either a traditional or non-traditional background
- comfortable taking ownership of a student’s academic path while collaborating with co-educators, including experience leading, coaching, and evaluating other educators
- broadly knowledgeable, creative, intellectually curious, and globally minded
- patient, kind, and emotionally attuned
- energized by travel and non-traditional learning environments
- collaborative, but confident working independently
- physically and intellectually dynamic and enthusiastic
- able to and/or interested in teaching anything beyond core subjects
- athletics (specific sports)
- art (specific skills)
- music (specific instruments)
- foreign languages (any)
- study of or training in philosophy or spirituality (e.g. Vedanta, Jesuit, Jewish/Kaballah, Daoist)
- We are interested in the philosophical angle and the mindset of debate and logic, rather than the religious or dogmatic part of the candidate’s study or training.
