About us
Mathnasium of Cambridge is a locally owned and operated math learning centre on Hespeler Road, serving students from K through Grade 12 across Cambridge and the Waterloo Region. We believe every child can learn math when it's taught the right way — and we've seen it happen every day.
Using the Mathnasium Method™, a structured approach developed over decades, our instructors help students genuinely understand math rather than just memorize procedures. The result is real confidence that shows up in the classroom and beyond.
About the role
As a Math Instructor, you'll work with students in a small-group setting (up to 4 students per instructor), guiding them through individualized learning plans at their own pace. Sessions are structured and well-supported — you won't be creating lesson plans from scratch. What we need from you is the ability to explain concepts clearly, build rapport quickly, and keep students engaged.
This is a great fit for university or college students in math, science, or education — or anyone who enjoys working with young people and wants a flexible, meaningful part-time role.
