Education & Training Expert (Remote, Part-Time)

What You'll Do7

• Write teaching problems from your own classroom or course, including the learner level, common misconception, and task constraints.
• Create reference answers that show how a model's response should be graded.
• Review model-written explanations and lesson materials for accuracy and clarity.
• Check whether worked examples solve the problem with the right steps and final result.
• Evaluate assessments to confirm they measure the skill they claim to test.
• Identify explanations that are correct yet can confuse students because of prior knowledge, reading level, or unaddressed misconceptions.
• Flag unclear project instructions and ask for missing details before completing a task.

Requirements5

• Professional experience teaching, tutoring, or designing instruction.
• Clear writing that explains your reasoning to reviewers and project leads.
• Comfort working through ambiguous tasks without step-by-step direction.
• Willingness to flag unclear instructions and ask for context.
• Subject knowledge in at least one education area, such as K-12, higher education, test prep, ESL, curriculum design, or education technology.

Who Should Apply

You fit this pool if you have taught, tutored, or built curriculum and can explain your choices in writing. Subject depth matters more than where you earned your degree, above all if you have watched learners struggle with specific concepts. The role suits people who can tolerate slow timelines, since Mercor may contact you within a week or after several months, and it becomes a poor match if you need a guaranteed schedule, dislike ambiguous prompts, or expect a quick hiring decision from this listing. Candidates often lose fit when they describe teaching philosophy in broad terms but cannot name a concrete misconception or assessment flaw. Another common miss is ignoring the written reasoning requirement and treating the tasks as simple grading.
