About CODED
CODED is the first tech and AI academy in the Arab world, and the region's go-to place for technology and AI education. We build real technical capability — software engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and emerging technologies — across individuals, youth, and enterprises.
What we are building is talent density. Not headcount. Not volume. A concentrated pool of genuinely exceptional people, inside CODED and across the market we serve.
We only aspire to work with people who are excellent at what they do, and who raise the standard of everyone around them.
About the Role
Teaching Assistant
Education · Youth & Kids Segments — Part-time, project-based
The Role: Teaching Assistant
An instructor can only look in one direction at a time. In a room of thirty students building something for the first time, the difference between a session that works and one that falls apart is whoever is moving between the tables.
That is this role. You support CODED sessions and workshops — getting the room ready, guiding students through the activity, keeping order, and making sure every student has what they need to take part.
This is part-time and project-based, and it is a genuine entry point: no previous work experience is required. If you are good with students and you show up reliably, we will train you on the rest. Sessions run in the morning, between 8 AM and 1 PM.
What You Will Do
- Set up the room, equipment and materials before students arrive
- Check that the tools and accounts a session depends on are working before it starts
- Guide students through activities and help the ones who are stuck
- Run activities alongside the instructor
- Keep the room orderly and the session moving
- Hand out materials and make sure nobody is left without them
- Act as the point of contact with the venue or school when needed
Training Is Mandatory
Nobody works with students without preparing first. Before every program you attend the training sessions and the rehearsal alongside the instructors, so you know the content, the activity and your part in running it.
That includes knowing what to do when the technology fails — a tool that will not load, an account that will not sign in, a laptop that will not connect. You are often the person who catches it first and fixes it quietly while the session keeps going.
What Success Looks Like
- An engaged, orderly room
- Sessions that run smoothly from setup to pack-down
- Every student receives their materials
- Problems caught and handled before they interrupt the class
What We're Looking For
- Good with students — patient, approachable, and able to hold a room's attention
- Clear communication in Arabic, with fluent Kuwaiti dialect
- Reliable and on time, every session
- Basic everyday use of AI tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini
- Able to attend the training sessions and rehearsal before every program
- A reliable way of getting to our venues. Sessions run in schools, on campus and at partner venues across Kuwait. A valid driving license is ideal, but a stable, dependable mode of transport you can count on is equally fine
- No minimum experience. Mentoring, TA work, volunteering or youth events are a plus, not a requirement
An Advantage, Not a Requirement
- Mentoring, teaching assistant or volunteering experience
- Studying technology or education
Where This Role Goes
You can cover for any teaching assistant on the team, and the role is the normal route into an Instructor position at CODED.
