Teaching Assistants are responsible for supporting the teacher in his/her efforts. They help monitor chat and ensure students are on-task. TAs do not need to actually teach the content, but they should be open to learning new math concepts in order to support the students. Most of our TA’s are in high school or college, and they can choose to work for volunteer hours, if they so choose. Looking to be a Teacher? Go to

TAs are usually high schoolers. Some are former Adventures with Mr. Math students, and some are on their high school math teams. Others are just good at working with kids. They typically work 1-2 hours a week, with some weeks off. Most classes are after school Mon-Thurs, and we have a few on Fridays and Saturdays.
The responsibilites of a TA mainly include the following:
- Answering/monitoring students' answers in chat
- Observing students and engaging students who do not seem connected or active
- While students are working in the breakout rooms, provide guidance and support
- Proctor internal and official contests
- Taking attendance
- Create breakout rooms
- Assist with other activities, as needed
We also offer the opportunity for Teaching Asstants to become Mentor TAs, who are responsible for training new TAs and other leadership roles.
