Mathematics Teacher - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 13, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery hires mathematics teachers to write the kinds of classroom scenarios that frontier AI labs rely on when checking how models judge math instruction. The contract runs 10 hours per week, remote and async, with pay from $45 to $80 per hour. You draw on your own classroom work to craft worked solutions, identify common student errors, and review model output for both mathematical accuracy and teaching quality. A teaching license with a mathematics endorsement and at least two years of classroom experience form the baseline for the role.
What You'll Do8
- 1Write realistic math teaching scenarios that surface common student misconceptions.
- 2Produce worked solutions that explain the reasoning behind every step.
- 3Review model answers for mathematical correctness and instructional soundness.
- 4Mark solutions that reach a correct answer through faulty teaching methods.
- 5Create scenario details that reflect actual classroom dialogue and problem-solving.
- 6Assess model output against pedagogy standards, not just final answers.
- 7Document why a solution fails as instruction even when the result is right.
- 8Align scenarios with a range of math levels, from foundational numeracy to advanced coursework.
Requirements8
- 1Commit at least 10 hours per week to the project.
- 2Hold a teaching license or certification with a mathematics endorsement.
- 3Bring two or more years of classroom mathematics teaching.
- 4Show depth across foundational numeracy and advanced math courses.
- 5Explain mathematical reasoning in clear written English.
- 6Teach or have taught AP, IB, or similar advanced courses.
- 7Coach competition math or advise a math team.
- 8Write curriculum or design assessments.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds a current mathematics teaching license, has spent at least two years in a classroom, and can discuss math levels from basic numeracy to AP or IB coursework. Strong fits also bring experience with competition math, curriculum writing, or assessment design. Candidates who cannot set aside 10 hours each week or who lack a mathematics endorsement should pass on this contract. A common reason applicants score low: the credentials section leaves out the exact math levels they teach or does not show the license and endorsement. Another: they describe tutoring work but show no classroom teaching history, which the listing requires.
Salary Insight
Pay is $45 to $80 per hour, sent through Stripe each week. The range places this contract above standard tutoring pay and suits licensed teachers who bring advanced coursework or curriculum design experience.

Application Tip
In the credentials step, name the exact math levels you teach, such as Algebra II, AP Calculus BC, or IB Mathematics, and upload your teaching license with the mathematics endorsement visible. Add one line about a misconception you correct in class, since the role centers on spotting answers that are right but taught wrong.

Mercor
VerifiedMathematics Expert - Remote AI Training (Part-Time)
Mercor keeps a standing pool of mathematicians for AI training and evaluation projects rather than a single opening. Research teams at major AI labs need human judgment on math problems and proofs, and they rely on experts to build rubrics and grade model output. Work can arrive on short notice, so the pool stays open even when no project runs this week. Assignments cover tasks like writing research or competition-level problems, checking each proof step, reviewing edge cases, and spotting answers that look right but lack proof. Contracts in this field have paid $40 to $75 per hour, and Mercor sets each rate by project scope and depth.
