About us
Proximity Learning partners with districts to solve teacher vacancies by livestreaming certified teachers, from all over the country, into physical classrooms for all subjects. Having already served over 150 districts and 45,000 students, Proximity Learning is committed to connecting all learners with the expert teachers they deserve. Proximity Learning facilitates district course subject needs by providing live, real-time, teacher-led instruction through video conferencing software, ensuring students do not miss out on valuable math, world language, SPED, science, or elective subjects. Each student is given access to instruction through a laptop where they can view and interact with their teacher; students and instructors communicate with each other in real-time via webcam and via text-chat. Proximity Learning teachers are the most important part of closely approximating the experience of a traditional brick and mortar classroom setting - we value those with a passion for teaching, the ability to be autonomous, and a strong drive to connect a diverse group of students across the United States with the quality teachers they deserve. Our teachers work from home and get paid a competitive salary based on experience. Additionally, we offer growth opportunities and bonuses based on student success. If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to hear from you about our current open positions. Avoid scams! If you're interested in joining PLI, we will always ask you to apply through our applicant dashboard in PLI Connect! All candidates can apply through our applicant dashboard at https://proxlearn.pliconnect.com/. Rest assured, we'll only consider candidates who have completed an application through this website, and have undergone a virtual face to face interview. Any communication regarding your application will come from an email address ending in @proxlearn.com. Our IT team works extremely hard to make sure everyone's data is secure.

⁉️ You know there's a better option out there, right?! Facing teacher shortages, districts often choose between asynchronous and synchronous learning. 🙅♀️🙅♂️ Asynchronous instruction, with pre-recorded lectures, lacks real-time interaction, leading to lower engagement and comprehension. But with our Live Synchronous Teachers you get: 📈 Increased Student Achievement 📚 Improved Content Comprehension 😊 Boosted Student/Teacher Satisfaction ✨ Enhanced Learning Experience 👩🏫 Improved Instruction and Coursework This approach mirrors traditional classrooms, enhancing student outcomes and satisfaction. Proximity Learning's certified, live online teachers deliver interactive, personalized instruction. Want to know more? Discover how we help students thrive with our synchronous solutions.
