Role Overview

We are seeking an English Language Tutor in Ajman to deliver structured one-to‑one support in reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing. The tutor should be able to break complex language tasks into manageable steps while steadily increasing independence and accuracy.

Teaching Scope

Deliver personalised one-to‑one English Language tutoring according to the learner’s age, curriculum, current attainment and individual language goals.

Develop reading comprehension through explicit work on vocabulary, inference, retrieval, summarising, comparison, writer's choices and interpretation of increasingly complex texts.

Strengthen grammar and sentence control, including punctuation, parts of speech, verb forms, agreement, clauses, sentence variety and accurate syntax at the appropriate level.

Build vocabulary through morphology, word families, context, collocation, synonyms, antonyms and deliberate use of precise academic language.

Develop writing skills across descriptive, narrative, persuasive, argumentative, explanatory, transactional and analytical forms where relevant to the learner's curriculum.

Teach planning, paragraphing, cohesion, editing, proofreading and accurate use of spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Develop speaking and listening through structured discussion, oral explanation, presentation, pronunciation, fluency and confidence where appropriate.

Support EAL/ESL learners who need stronger foundational English for school access while maintaining age‑appropriate academic expectations.

Teach students to interpret task wording and command words, select relevant evidence and structure clear responses under timed conditions.

Prepare learners for class assessments, mocks and recognised English Language examinations where these match the tutor's verified experience, including GCSE/IGCSE, Cambridge English Language pathways, IB MYP language work or comparable school programmes.

Use diagnostic tasks, targeted practice and modelled examples to identify and close specific language and literacy gaps.

Provide concise progress feedback identifying strengths, recurring errors and clear next priorities.

Maintain academic-integrity boundaries and do not complete assessed writing, coursework, applications or examinations on the student's behalf.

A recognised degree in English, English Language, Linguistics, Education, Applied Linguistics, TESOL or a closely related field.

Minimum 2 years of relevant English teaching, tutoring, EAL/ESL support or academic‑language experience.

Strong command of grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, written expression, spelling and punctuation.

Ability to teach English Language skills explicitly rather than relying only on general conversation or worksheet completion.

Experience with at least one recognised school curriculum or examination pathway such as British GCSE/IGCSE, IB, American or another international programme.

Ability to diagnose whether difficulties arise from reading comprehension, language knowledge, writing structure, grammar, vocabulary or exam technique.

Ability to adapt teaching for native English speakers, multilingual learners and EAL/ESL students without lowering academic expectations.

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 with reading comprehension and writing development.

Strong ability to teach grammar and sentence construction through meaningful language use.

Experience preparing learners for school-based English Language assessments.

Experience using diagnostic tasks and targeted feedback to close specific literacy gaps.

Experience teaching students to edit and improve their own writing rather than depending on tutor correction.

Confidence balancing curriculum requirements with individual language-development needs.
