Careers › Instructors
Turn screen time into confidence, teamwork, and growth.
At Love to Code Academy, instructors don't teach technology. They create the environment where students develop the character and confidence to succeed in anything.
Technology provides the environment. Character development is the outcome.
What This Role Looks Like
This is a hands-on, student-centered role.
You will:
- Lead small groups of students through structured coding and robotics experiences
- Guide students through challenges instead of solving problems for them
- Maintain engagement, structure, and expectations throughout the session
- Reinforce behavior in real time through clear, direct coaching
- Ensure students are working together, completing tasks, and staying accountable
Classes are:
- Interactive and project-based
- Structured — not lecture-driven
- Active, with constant building and collaboration
You are not delivering content. You are creating an environment where growth happens.
This aligns with the instructor responsibility to:
- Build the environment
- Reinforce traits
- Maintain standards
The Coaching Loop
Instructors don't manage behavior after the fact. They reinforce character as it happens — using the same four steps, every session.
Observe
Watch for visible character actions in real time.
Name the Trait
Not "good job" — the specific trait must be named.
Reinforce or Redirect
Aligned: acknowledge. Misaligned: redirect clearly — no lectures.
Repeat
Character is built through consistent repetition, not one correction.
Who This Role Is For
This role is for people willing to take responsibility for how students grow.
In this role, you will:
- Guide students through challenge instead of removing it
- Create an environment where students can struggle, adjust, and improve
- Reinforce effort, focus, and collaboration in real time
- Help students build confidence through repeated experience
Who This Role Was Built For
Some coaches were made for this kind of work.
These aren’t requirements. They’re a portrait. If it looks like you, keep reading.
- Your energy lands before you speak — students feel it the moment you walk in
- You hold high expectations and stay patient. You don’t see those as opposites.
- You ask more than you tell. Guiding comes naturally. Lecturing doesn’t.
- You give direct feedback because you respect the person receiving it — not despite that.
- You still think about a student days after a hard session, wondering if what you said made a difference.
Why This Work Exists
Most students use technology passively.
Watching. Playing. Scrolling.
But the future requires something different. Students must learn to think through problems, work effectively with others, stay engaged when something is difficult, and take ownership of what they create.
These are not developed through instruction. They are developed through:
Love to Code Academy exists to provide that environment.
We grow kids, not just coders.
What Students Are Developing
Students are not just building projects.
They are developing character through structured experiences.
Relationships
How we treat others
Responsibility
How we manage ourselves
Purpose
What drives us
Leadership
How we serve others
Critical rule: Traits are the source. Behaviors are the evidence. Character is the outcome.
Before You Apply
Read this carefully.
This work is meaningful. But it is not easy.
Be honest with yourself:
- Do you find purpose in helping someone grow, even when progress is slow?
- Can you stay patient when a student is frustrated or stuck?
- Are you willing to guide instead of giving answers?
- Do you believe confidence and responsibility are built through experience — not instruction?
- Can you maintain energy and structure every session?
Because this role requires:
- Correcting behavior consistently
- Maintaining expectations even when challenged
- Staying engaged for the full session
- Repeating expectations without lowering standards
If you avoid correction or rely on explanation instead of coaching, this role will not work.
What You Need to Start
You do not need a technical background.
We train you on:
- Character Framework
- Coaching Loop
- Session structure
What Matters Most
Your ability to lead behavior
Your ability to create structure
Your consistency in reinforcing expectations

The Foundation Behind Our Philosophy
Everything in this system traces back to a source.
The character traits we develop reflect qualities described in Galatians 5:22–23:
These are not abstract ideals. They are qualities tested across centuries — in every culture, every institution, every room where people work alongside each other.
"Against such things there is no law."
Paul wrote that in the first century. It remains true now. No policy can prohibit patience. No board can revoke kindness. No market shift can make self-control irrelevant. These qualities have never needed a version update.
At Love to Code Academy:
› These qualities are translated into traits
› Traits are reinforced through behavior
› Behavior is developed through structured experience
Technology changes. Skills become obsolete.
The character a student builds here does not.
The Impact You Will Have
Parents may enroll for technology.
They stay because they see their child:
Becoming more confident
Working with others
Pushing through challenges
Taking pride in what they create
As an instructor, you are responsible for making that transformation happen.
