February 11, 2026 - Forge Prep - Guide (Coach / Teacher) - Central New Jersey, USA
The best teachers don’t lecture. They create conditions where learning becomes inevitable.
At Forge, we call them Guides—and they’re nothing like the teachers you remember. No worksheets, no test prep, no classroom management. Instead, you’ll coach students through launching real companies, conducting original research, and building products that matter.
The Reality
You’ll work with cohorts of students, guiding them through challenges that would intimidate most adults. Your “classroom” is a professional-grade studio. Your “curriculum” is the real world’s most interesting problems.
On any given week, you might:
Teach physics while helping students attempt a Guinness World Record
Coach a team on crafting the narrative for a public health campaign about a rare disease
Guide a student learning algebra by building a financial model for a local business
Help another master chemistry by formulating a new product for their invention
Your success isn’t measured by test scores. It’s measured by whether the students you work with become more confident, capable, and curious than when they started.
What This Actually Looks Like
You don’t teach subjects—you coach humans. Math happens when students need to model their business projections. Science emerges when they’re solving real problems. Writing improves when they’re crafting pitches that matter.
You step in when needed, step back when possible. Sometimes a student needs direct instruction. Sometimes they need you to ask the right question. Sometimes they need space to fail and figure it out.
You work alongside professionals. Local entrepreneurs, engineers, and creators work directly with students. You orchestrate these connections and help students learn from real practitioners.
You document mastery, not memorization. Instead of grades, you help students build portfolios that prove what they can do. Their work speaks for itself.
You Should Apply If
You’ve built or led something meaningful—in business, education, nonprofit, or creative fields
You believe students are capable of real work when given real responsibility
You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure without stifling curiosity
You can coach through failure rather than preventing it
You think learning happens through doing, not sitting
You want to prove education can be different
You Shouldn’t Apply If
You believe your job is to deliver content
You prefer predictable lesson plans to dynamic coaching
You think teenagers need constant supervision
You want traditional classroom management
You’re uncomfortable with students sometimes knowing more than you do
What We Offer
Compensation starting at $100K for entry-level Guides, scaling with experience, plus equity
Professional development with top coaches and practitioners in your areas of expertise
Meaningful student relationships that let you focus on real growth over class size
Professional-grade tools and spaces designed for real creation
A community of practitioners who chose impact over ease
Your Background Might Include
Former entrepreneurs or executives who want to pass on what they’ve learned
Exceptional teachers who are frustrated by traditional constraints
Montessori-trained educators experienced in student-driven learning
Coaches or mentors from sports, youth programs, or professional development
Industry experts ready to guide the next generation
Next Steps / Applying
You can apply here. Be ready to share why Forge Prep and this role excites you.
We look forward to meeting you.

Collaborate with colleagues on curriculum development, school initiatives, and educational administration tasks to enhance the overall learning experience.
Engage in ongoing professional development related to higher education teaching methods, linguistics, Chicago Manual of Style standards (for writing), and other relevant areas such as library services or education research.

Experience integrating learning technology tools to enhance instruction and student engagement.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to mentor students effectively and collaborate with colleagues.
Organizational skills necessary for managing multiple responsibilities, including academic advising and instructional planning.
