About the Role
About The Role:
San3a Academy is building a pool of Freelance Instructors to support current and upcoming learning experiences designed for adult learners and working professionals from different backgrounds, such as educators, engineers, designers, developers, and technology enthusiasts.
Our programs focus on different hands-on, applied learning in emerging technology domains, that includes: CAD(Fusion 360), digital fabrication(3D-printing & laser cutting), and rapid prototyping.
⚠️ You don’t have to be skilled in all of these topics. It’s enough to be skilled in at least one of them ⚠️
Selected candidates will first join a free Training of Trainers (ToT) program designed to equip them with the instructional approach, delivery methods, and technical alignment required for San3a Academy learning experiences.
After successfully completing the ToT and passing the evaluation process, instructors will join the San3a Academy instructor pool and may be assigned to deliver different learning experiences over time, based on their skills, strengths, and availability.
This is a teaching-focused role. We are looking for instructors who can translate technical concepts into meaningful, hands-on learning experiences and create engaging, practical, and supportive environments for adult learners.
What You Will Do:
Deliver and facilitate hands-on learning experiences following the provided curricula and instructional guides
Adapt explanations, activities, and pacing to suit different learner backgrounds, experience levels, and learning needs
Engage learners actively through projects, questions, and guided exploration
Support learners through trial, error, and iteration in a positive and encouraging manner
Observe learner progress and provide timely guidance or troubleshooting
Collaborate with the education team and attend briefings or trainings when required

Work Model & Availability:
This is a project-based freelance role. There is no fixed weekly schedule.
Instructors are hired to San3a Academy’s instructor pool and are assigned to programs, courses, or workshops throughout the year based on program needs, instructor availability, and skill alignment.
Each assignment has its own timeline and session schedule, which will be shared in advance.
