What Drives you?

A Great Teacher Can Change A Student’s Life

That’s what drives Proximity Learning teachers to be passionate, innovative, challenge-seeking educators.

Thousands of students across the country currently lack access to certified teachers in crucial subjects. Teaching with Proximity Learning enables teachers like you to connect with those students and make an impact.

Our mission is to connect all learners with the expert teachers they deserve.

Proximity Learning teachers reach students who need them most by delivering live, interactive instruction directly into classrooms across the country.

We partner with districts that cannot find certified teachers locally, removing geographic barriers and connecting students with certified educators wherever they are.

Transitioning from Brick-and-Mortar

Setting The Bar For Synchronous Instruction, One Class at a Time

Proximity Learning teachers start their classes just like any other teacher would, greeting students, asking about their day, having one-on-one conversations as class settles in, and more. The only difference? The students are on your screen.

Play

Teachers choose Proximity Learning because they value the moments and interactions that make education truly effective. Real connection between a teacher and student doesn’t happen through pre-recorded video lectures. It happens live, in real time, with a certified teacher who knows their students by name. That’s exactly what Proximity Learning teachers deliver every day.

Mark,

66

Avid Hiker, New Grandfather

Burlington, Vermont

Mark is a 66-year-old recently retired middle school science school teacher that had been teaching for over 40 years. He has plenty to do in retirement, including taking care of his new grandson every Friday and participating in a hiking group every Tuesday. However, he still finds that the feeling of connecting with and empowering young people is important to him. Last year, Mark started to teach two Proximity Learning middle school level science classes that worked with his schedule. This flexibility still leaves him free to spend time with family and allows him to pick up new hobbies while also connecting with a new generation of students and helping them fall in love with science.

Melissa,

48

Tech-Savvy Military Spouse

Melissa is a 48-year old military spouse, former IT professional, and former elementary teacher. Although she is currently stationed in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Melissa is used to frequently changing locations due to her wife’s assignments – sometimes to states across the country. Looking for a consistent income that could follow her anywhere and build off of her existing comfort with video calls, Melissa decided to look for live instruction teaching opportunities after having taught elementary school before beginning her career in IT. She joined Proximity Learning and picked up elementary school classes that matched her schedule, enabling her to make additional income while abroad and continue applying her love of technology to her job.

What Our Teachers Are Saying

“Teaching is my passion. I enjoy sharing what I know about the Chinese language and culture with people… I think teaching is a way to touch people’s lives. I believe there is no greater joy than teaching.”

Hsin-Wei Grace Chang

Chinese Teacher

“Proximity Learning was there and we were a constant – I think that that’s what the students needed. A constant to fall back on when they weren’t able to go see their friends and otherkids in person.”

Marcia Hammond

Physics teacher

“Everything I do, decision making, lesson planning, relationship developing, I’m trying to put students first.”

Cody Reid

Math Teacher

“My love is for the classroom, not for making rules, not for writing out standards, not for disciplining students, not for going to long, endless meetings about policy… It really is about how I can reach a student.”
