About the Role

Role Overview

We are seeking an English Language, Literature & Media Studies Tutor in Ajman to deliver structured one-to-one support across literacy, literary analysis and media interpretation. The tutor should help learners turn observations into well-supported analytical arguments.

Teaching Scope

Deliver personalised one-to-one tutoring across English Language, English Literature and Media Studies according to the learner's curriculum, year group, assessment requirements and current attainment.

Teach English Language skills including reading comprehension, language analysis, grammar, vocabulary, sentence control, descriptive and narrative writing, persuasive and transactional writing, and accurate editing.

Teach English Literature through close reading, annotation, literary terminology, themes, character, structure, context, writer's methods, comparison, unseen texts and evidence-based interpretation.

Teach Media Studies concepts including media language, representation, audiences, industries, contexts, ideology, genre, narrative, ownership, regulation and platform-specific conventions where relevant to the specification.

Support analysis of print, advertising, film, television, news, magazines, radio, music video, gaming, online and social media texts where required by the learner's course.

Develop comparative analysis so students can connect language, literary and media choices to purpose, audience, context and effect.

Strengthen academic writing across all three subjects, including thesis statements, analytical paragraphs, quotation and evidence integration, contextual application, comparison and evaluative conclusions.

Teach students to distinguish description from analysis and evaluation, and to use precise subject terminology without forcing formulaic responses.

Prepare students for class assessments, mocks and formal examinations using targeted revision, retrieval practice, past-paper questions, unseen texts and mark-scheme analysis.

Teach exam technique including command words, timing, annotation, planning, evidence selection, comparative structure and extended-response strategy.

Support recognised pathways such as GCSE/IGCSE, A Level, IB MYP/DP and comparable international English or Media Studies programmes where relevant to the tutor's verified experience.

Support coursework or non-exam assessment through teaching, planning, feedback and academic guidance without writing, producing or completing assessed work on the student's behalf.

Provide concise progress feedback identifying strengths, misconceptions, recurring writing issues and clear next priorities.

A recognised degree in English, English Literature, English Language, Media Studies, Communications, Film/Media, Education or a closely related field.

Demonstrable competence to teach English Language, English Literature and Media Studies at the school levels stated in the application.

Minimum 2 years of relevant classroom teaching, tutoring, academic-support or subject-specialist experience.

Experience with at least one recognised international curriculum or examination pathway such as British GCSE/IGCSE/A Level, IB or comparable programmes.

Strong close-reading, textual-analysis, essay-writing and critical-evaluation skills.

Strong understanding of media terminology, representation, audiences, industries and analysis of media texts.

Ability to teach both creative/transactional English Language skills and analytical Literature/Media responses.

Strong professional communication, punctuality, safeguarding awareness and respect for academic integrity.

Legal authorisation to provide private tutoring in the UAE and a valid MOHRE Private Tutor Work Permit, or eligibility to obtain the permit before accepting assignments.

Reliable personal transportation and willingness to travel to students' homes or approved learning venues in Ajman.

Preferred Experience

Experience supporting students across multiple English and media assessment types.

Strong ability to teach language analysis, literature essays and media-text analysis.

Experience preparing students for international secondary-school assessments.

Experience developing exam technique through mark-scheme analysis and modelled responses.

Experience creating coordinated revision plans across more than one English or media component.

Confidence teaching both creative/transactional writing and analytical/evaluative responses.
