Grand Circus
REMOTE Contract - After-Hours Full Stack C# .NET Instructor
At Grand Circus, we train students for jobs in Michigan’s fastest-growing tech companies. We know that anyone can be a developer, so we’re passionate about educating career transitioners in coding and other skills that lead to high-growth careers. Come make a huge impact with us as our new C# .NET instructor!
WHAT DOES AN INSTRUCTOR DO?
Grand Circus instructors help change students’ lives by sharing their developer skills and expertise. Instructors work closely with students and a team of Grand Circus teaching assistants, program managers, the Bootcamp Delivery Manager, and the Director of Learning to ensure that students have all of the technical skills they need to be career-ready at the end of their bootcamp. Instructors are responsible for the technical know-how of their students; it is the role of the instructor to help students get the C#, .NET, and Angular skills that they will need not just to truly be successful on the job, but to be enthusiastic contributors to the tech community overall.
In action, this means that instructors are responsible for:
- Leading daily classroom activities from technical lecture, to labs, to review sessions
- Providing feedback to students
- Working with program managers, teaching assistants, and the Bootcamp Delivery Manager to respond to student feedback
- Responding to student inquiries on Slack
