Position Summary

At Williamsburg Learning, we call our teachers Mentors because they do more than deliver instruction—they guide and develop students as thinkers, communicators, and principled leaders.

In alignment with the goals of the Leadership Program, Mentors lead engaging, live online classes that foster critical thinking, meaningful discussion, and personal growth. This is a full-time teaching role conducted synchronously online, where Mentors facilitate structured virtual classrooms, implement the Williamsburg Curriculum with fidelity, and provide timely, thoughtful feedback and support.

Mentors play a key role in helping students take ownership of their learning while maintaining clear, consistent communication with students and families. This position requires strong instructional leadership, organization, and professionalism, along with a deep commitment to Williamsburg Learning’s core values of Growth, Right Action, and a Culture of Belonging.

Leadership Program Overview
The Leadership Program at Williamsburg Learning is designed to help students develop the mindset, habits, and skills of effective leaders. Mentors guide students in building self-discipline, accountability, and confidence while strengthening communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Through engaging, discussion-based instruction, students learn to take ownership of their learning, set meaningful goals, and apply principled decision-making in real-world situations. This course emphasizes personal growth, emotional intelligence, and leadership development, preparing students to succeed both academically and in life.

While a Secondary Education License with a Physical Education endorsement is required for this role, the course is not a traditional PE class. Instead, it is more aligned with a leadership, personal development, and life skills curriculum, focused on developing the whole student rather than physical education.
