About KaiPod Learning

KaiPod Learning brings together small groups (pods) of 10–12 students who live nearby and are enrolled in online or homeschool programs. We provide a safe, structured, and engaging in-person environment where students can thrive socially and academically, while parents gain peace of mind. At the heart of each pod is a KaiPod Learning Coach.

Position Overview

KaiPod Learning Coaches create learning spaces where students are safe, supported, focused, and excited to learn. They serve as mentors, academic guides, enrichment facilitators, and trusted partners to families. Unlike a traditional teacher, a KaiPod Coach tailors support to each student’s individual learning program—fostering academic growth, personal responsibility, and curiosity through daily interactions.

What Makes This Role Unique

In some ways, you’ll feel like a teacher:

  • You’ll build meaningful relationships with students and their families.
  • You’ll support academic growth and guide enrichment activities.
  • You’ll help shape a positive, inclusive culture in your pod.

But in many ways, this is not a traditional classroom role:

  • Students follow their own online school or homeschool curriculum.
  • Your role is to personalize their experience—through goal-setting, coaching, executive functioning support, and social facilitation.
  • You have more autonomy to make learning joyful—planning field trips, hosting theme days, launching clubs, and more.

Partner with Families

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for families
  • Share weekly updates and insights into each student’s progress and experience
  • Build trust and community through clear communication, empathy, and responsiveness

Lead Locally, Collaborate Nationally

  • Represent KaiPod in your community and grow your local network
  • Occasionally attend local events to build partnerships and increase pod visibility
  • Capture and share the magic happening in your pod with families and the broader KaiPod team

A Natural Culture Builder
