Job description

Teach English one-to-one in families' homes across Dubai, from primary reading and writing to IGCSE, A-Level and IB.

The work differs from one course to the next. Younger children need the foundations of reading and writing, built patiently. Language students need comprehension, summary and directed writing on unseen passages. Literature students need close reading and essays that hold a real argument. IB students also need practice in speaking about texts for the oral. You should be able to mark a student's writing and show them exactly how to improve it. This role is English only: if you teach English, maths and science to primary-age children, see our Primary Tutor role.

• IB English A: Language and Literature, and Literature, including Paper 1 analysis and the Individual Oral.

• We provide transport to lessons.
• You plan each student's lessons, assess their progress and give feedback to the student and their family.
• Interviews and onboarding are at our office: Emirates Towers, Office Tower, Level 41, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai.
• Hours: Monday to Thursday 4pm to 8:30pm, Friday 2pm to 7pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm.
• Teaching or tutoring experience in the British or IB curriculum. This is required for this role.
