Breakout Mentors is looking for full-time and part-time USACO Mentors this summer to teach and inspire impressive high school students! This is a fully remote position.
The Breakout Mentors USACO Story
At Breakout Mentors, we’re re-imagining USACO education to make it more personalized: the majority of our students meet their mentor 1-on-1 to master the thinking and problem solving skills required. There are plenty of competitive programming resources out there that can cover a list of concepts. They only do that — teach the material. The result is students learn these amazing topics, but don’t know how to implement them or use them to solve problems. You can help these students advance!
The Job
The Breakout Mentors USACO Education team is responsible for teaching our students and helping them advance. You will be responsible for mentoring a carefully selected group of our USACO students throughout the summer over 1-on-1 90-minute to 3-hour video conference sessions. By the end of the program, your students should possess a knowledge of the algorithms and data structures, but also a deeper understanding of the problem solving and how to practice to advance levels. The full-time position will also have other roles beyond mentoring, for example creating curriculum or showcasing success stories.
