Job description

Education is an open question. We are writing the answer, and we need more people to write it with us.

A lot is broken in how children are taught between the ages of eight and twelve. Few are willing to rebuild it. The Way Forward is built for exactly those years, for the world that artificial intelligence has already created: small live classes, every lesson taught for understanding, by a founder who still teaches.

The role: Projects and Inquiry Teacher

Projects is where our children learn to think. You will spark curiosity, then teach it to stand up straight: how to ask a better question, research properly, spot a weak argument, and use AI to investigate rather than copy. Children take on real projects of their own choosing, gather information first-hand, and lead the discussion while you guide from the side.

Why now

We are recruiting for our March 2027 batch. This is a long-term, competitive seat. Our classes form as admissions open, and each new section needs its teacher. We are choosing the few who will stay and grow with the school, possibly into supervising other teachers, not many who will pass through.

How the work is arranged

• Full time, fully online. Live classes run in a fixed Pakistan-time window, with up to four hours of live teaching a day on average.
• About two hours more for student work, planning and each child's individual profile, at a time that suits you.
• No commute. Occasional in-person meetings.
• Our technology carries attendance, recordings, transcripts and the daily family update, so you can focus on teaching.

Pay

PKR 100,000 to 300,000+ per month, depending on your experience, your versatility and the roles you can take on at The Way Forward.

Who we are looking for

• A seasoned teacher with proven classroom experience at a reputed school, comfortable teaching online.
• A recognised teaching certification (IB or equivalent) and a degree in education. An MPhil is a strong plus. If you are exceptional without all of it, make that case in your note.
• Comfort with technology, AI and educational tools.
• Gentleness with children, and politeness and patience with highly educated parents.
• Full focus through working hours, in a quiet place, with a good laptop and reliable internet.

Our hiring process is lengthy by design

It has 2 to 3 interviews, a verbal test, a trial class where we hand a real class to you, a reference check, and a conversation with the founder. If you are looking for a quick switch, this job may not be for you.

Expected start: March 2027, subject to classes forming and admissions opening.
