Education Expert - Remote Teaching Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery seeks experienced classroom teachers to help frontier AI labs evaluate how models reason about teaching.

The work runs remote and async, with a 10-hour weekly commitment on a contract basis. Pay is $35 to $70 per hour through Stripe, and you set your own hours each week.

Who Should Apply
Teachers with a current license and at least two years in a classroom will fit this project best, along with those who can explain why a lesson works for a specific age group. The strongest candidates have built curriculum, coached other teachers, or taught several grade levels or subjects. Applicants without a teaching credential or documented classroom experience often score low on fit. General writing that avoids concrete pedagogical reasoning also leads to rejection; the role demands clear ties to lesson planning, differentiation, and assessment.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $35 to $70 per hour, with hourly payment through Stripe each week. That range often aligns with contract work for licensed teachers who bring classroom depth and can document pedagogical reasoning, rather than entry-level tutoring rates.
