Sparketh is an online art education platform for kids and teens in over 100 countries. At our core, Sparketh exists to help young artists grow skills, confidence, and creative courage.

We’re hiring an Online Art Teacher & Student Experience Lead—someone who sees teaching as the heart of the work and technology as the tool that supports it.

This role is ideal for an art educator who loves giving thoughtful feedback, guiding students, and shaping learning paths—while also helping keep the platform running smoothly behind the scenes.

The Heart of This Role: Art Education + Wordpress Experience

  • Support students by creating custom learning paths based on their interests and skill level

  • Student artwork review & moderation (Written art feedback on student submissions)
  • Custom learning paths for students (Personalized course plans built from our library)
  • Welcome calls with new students/families
  • Homepage updates / redirects (WordPress)
  • Upload new courses to the library
  • Writing and publishing blog posts (AI-assisted)

  • Enjoys giving feedback that is encouraging and instructional
  • Understands how to guide beginners without overwhelming them
  • Is patient, thoughtful, and student-centered
  • Is comfortable using WordPress for basic updates and content
  • Communicates warmly with parents and students
  • Can manage their time and follow clear processes
