Math Olympiad Program Coordinator

About Primer

Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education.

We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000’s of educators to launch microschools in their communities.

We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.

PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that’s never existed before: a world-class education that’s accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.

About this role

We are launching a math olympiad program for the 6th-8th graders across our campuses in Florida, with the goal of going beyond the standard math curriculum. This program will provide an opportunity for the most curious and driven students to explore advanced mathematical concepts and participate in various competitions. The program will run as an extracurricular activity, scheduled during the school day, with students meeting twice a week for a class and completing additional independent work in-between.

We are looking for a passionate and experienced educator to lead this program and mentor the students. For the right candidate, this could be a dream opportunity to inspire the next generation of mathematicians.

Job Responsibilities

• Collaborate with our HQ team to select the math competitions Primer will participate in and develop the corresponding olympiad curriculum.

• Manage the student selection process for the program, ensuring that the most motivated and capable students are invited.

• Lead the weekly sessions with the students in the program, be responsible for assigning and grading their independent work.

• Handle the registration process for various competitions such as AMC 8, MOEMS, MATHCOUNTS and oversee the administration of these events, ensuring that students are fully prepared and supported.

Qualifications

• Previous experience running olympiad or advanced math programs, particularly for middle school students.

• Proven ability to inspire and engage elementary and middle schoolers with a love for math.

• Experience in coaching or mentoring students in competitive math environments is highly desirable.

• Personal or achievements of your students in math competitions such as AMC, MOEMS, AIME, USAMO, IMO or similar are a strong plus.

• Experience with virtual instruction experience is a plus.

Goals of the Program

• Provide an avenue for the most curious students to deepen their love for math beyond the standard curriculum.

• Strengthen Primer’s brand by establishing a robust program that consistently wins awards at regional and national competitions.

• Foster mathematical creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking skills, with a focus on proofs & problem solving over speed & computation.

• Prepare students for future participations in high-school competitions such as USAMO and IMO.
