Remote Math Tutor at Think Academy - Work Anywhere — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This part-time remote tutoring role is genuinely location-independent — all sessions are delivered online, and there's no office requirement. However, schedule flexibility is limited: you must be available during weekday evenings and weekends in US time zones (primarily ET/CT/PT). This is a critical constraint for nomads.
- US Eastern Time nomads: If based in Lisbon (ET+5), weekday evenings mean sessions running roughly 11 PM–2 AM local. Manageable occasionally, but tough long-term.
- Bangkok (ET+11): US evenings fall in the early morning hours — a significant lifestyle challenge.
- Medellín (ET−0 to +1): Nearly aligned with US Eastern, making this one of the best nomad bases for this role.
At $20–25/hr and under 20 hrs/week, gross earnings cap at roughly $400–500/week. This comfortably covers living costs in Medellín (~$1,200–1,800/month) or parts of Southeast Asia, but may feel tight in Lisbon ($1,800–2,500/month) without supplemental income.
No travel perks (coworking allowance, equipment stipend) are mentioned. You'll need a reliable internet connection and a quiet environment for live one-on-one sessions. Latin America and select EMEA time zones are your most practical bases for this schedule.
Job Type: Part-Time (less than 20 hrs/week)
Location: Remote
Intended Start Date: As soon as possible
