Remember that one teacher who made a scary topic suddenly make sense?

Be that person for someone.

At Masai, our students are career switchers, fresh graduates and working professionals who want a better job and a better life. Many of them are one "aha!" moment away from getting there. You could be the one who gives it to them.

What you'll do

Answer student questions on chat during live classes. Think of it as being the calm, smart friend in the group chat.

Mentor students in groups and sometimes one-on-one. You help them debug their code, understand why a model behaves the way it does and believe in themselves.

When you'll work

Weekdays from 8:00 PM

Weekends

It fits neatly around your day job or research.

Why this matters

Every student has a question they're scared to ask. As their mentor, you're the one they ask without feeling judged. "Dumb" questions are never dumb. Answer one and it clicks. That's the magic: you help someone upskill and change their life.

You might forget the doubt you cleared on a Tuesday night. They won't.

Every good teacher learns twice.

What you should know well

Python for data science, plus Git and GitHub

Working with data: cleaning, exploring and visualizing it

The math behind ML: statistics, probability, linear algebra and calculus basics

Machine learning: building, evaluating and improving models

Deep learning and neural networks

NLP and transformers

Generative AI: LLMs, prompting, RAG and AI agents

Deploying models as simple apps or APIs

Responsible AI: bias, privacy and safety basics

Problem framing: knowing when ML is the right tool and linking results to business decisions

End-to-end projects that students can show to employers

Who can apply

You should be one of these:

A working professional with 1+ year of experience in data science, machine learning, AI or a related role

A PhD scholar in computer science, AI, statistics, mathematics or a related area

We prefer ed-tech or teaching experience. No teaching experience yet? That's okay. If you're confident you can explain things clearly and make students want to learn, apply anyway and show us.
