This is a long-term teaching opportunity — not a short-term tutoring role.</p> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">About Think Academy</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Think Academy US, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), is a leading education company dedicated to helping K–12 students build strong academic foundations, confidence in math, and long-term learning ability through high-quality teaching and thoughtfully designed curriculum.</p> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Why This Role Is Different</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Most teaching roles expect you to build everything yourself.
