Job description

Bangsar Village 2, Kuala Lumpur · Part-time · You pick your days · RM 16-20 / hour

Pick the days that suit you

You tell us when you can work, and we build the schedule around you. Take one day a week or take all of them.

Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 5.30pm with a lunch break. RM 112-140 a day.

Weekday afternoons, Monday to Friday, 1pm to 5.30pm. RM 72-90 a day.

Weekends only, weekday afternoons only, or any mix of the two. Plenty of our instructors work alongside university study or another job.

About Learning Tree

Learning Tree is a children's enrichment centre at Bangsar Village 2, recently relaunched with new programmes. We teach thinking skills and problem-solving maths to children aged 4 to 12, in small groups of a handful of children at a time. Our method: children work at their own pace, and instructors lead them to the answer by asking questions instead of explaining. Nobody arrives knowing how to do that, which is why we train you.

What the job is

You teach and supervise your groups. There is no lesson planning. Every lesson plan and every piece of material is written and ready before you walk in. Our Head Teacher trains you, sits in with you early on, and is there on the floor whenever you need them.

Run small-group maths and thinking-skills sessions for children aged 4 to 12.

Ask the questions that get a stuck child unstuck, rather than handing over the answer.

Keep track of where each child has reached, and give them work that stretches them.

Set the room up before your session and leave it tidy afterwards.

Tell the Head Teacher anything they should know about a child's progress.

Who this suits

Anyone comfortable with primary-school maths. That is the whole bar. No maths degree. No teaching certificate.

University students, fresh graduates, parents returning to work, and people changing career. No teaching experience needed, because we train you from scratch.

Good spoken and written English, which is the language we teach in. Mandarin is handy but not needed.

Patience, warmth, and genuinely liking the company of young children.

Someone who turns up when they said they would. A small team depends on it.

Please only apply if you can stay about a year. Children on a self-paced programme do markedly better with an instructor who knows where they left off, so we would rather have you one day a week for a year than five days for a month.

You must be legally allowed to work in Malaysia (citizen, PR, or a valid work pass or LTSVP carrying an Endorsement to Work).

What you get

RM 16-20 an hour, set by experience. In practice that is RM 112-140 for a weekend day and RM 72-90 for a weekday afternoon.

Your own choice of days, agreed with you and kept.

EPF, SOCSO and EIS.

Structured training on the programme before you teach, then ongoing coaching.

Nothing to prepare. Every plan and material is provided, so your hours are teaching hours.

Groups of a handful of children, not a classroom of thirty. You will know every child by name.
