About the Role

Requirements

Role Overview

Simone's Tutoring is looking for an English & Humanities Tutor in Umm Al Quwain who can provide clear, structured face-to-face support across literacy and humanities subjects. The role requires someone who can build both subject knowledge and transferable skills in interpretation, argument and academic writing.

Teaching Scope

Deliver personalised one-to-one tutoring across English and Humanities according to the learner's curriculum, year group, assessment requirements and current attainment level.

Support English Language skills including reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, sentence control, analytical reading, transactional writing and extended composition.

Support English Literature through close reading, annotation, literary analysis, comparison of texts, quotation use, essay planning and evidence-based interpretation.

Teach Humanities subjects within the tutor's verified expertise, particularly History, Geography, Social Studies and Global Perspectives.

Develop source-analysis skills including provenance, reliability, inference, bias, perspective, comparison and evaluation of written, visual, statistical and cartographic sources.

Strengthen essay writing across both English and Humanities, including thesis development, paragraph structure, evidence selection, explanation, evaluation and conclusions.

Support research skills, note-taking, summarising, referencing, argument construction and critical thinking while maintaining academic-integrity boundaries.

Prepare students for class assessments, coursework preparation where permitted, mock examinations and formal examinations through targeted content review and exam technique.

Teach command words, mark-scheme awareness, timing, planning and strategies for improving short-answer, source-based and extended-response questions.

Adapt teaching to recognised curricula such as British GCSE/IGCSE/A Level, IB MYP/DP, American middle/high school and AP-style humanities courses where relevant to the tutor's experience.

Provide concise parent or student feedback identifying progress, current weaknesses and clear next priorities.

A recognised degree in English, English Literature, History, Geography, Humanities, Social Sciences, Education or a closely related discipline.

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

Demonstrable ability to teach both English and at least two Humanities areas such as History, Geography, Social Studies or Global Perspectives.

Strong academic writing, reading-comprehension, essay-structure and source-analysis skills.

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

Ability to explain complex ideas clearly, diagnose skill gaps and adapt teaching to different ages, attainment levels and learning profiles.

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

Ability to support assessed work through teaching, planning and feedback without completing assignments or coursework on the student's behalf.

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 Umm Al Quwain.

Preferred Experience

Experience teaching students across lower-secondary and examination years.

Experience with interdisciplinary humanities or social-studies programmes.

Ability to adapt writing support to different subjects rather than using a single generic essay formula.

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

Experience supporting research, argumentation and academic writing without compromising academic integrity.

Confidence adapting between English Language/Literature and multiple Humanities subject demands.
