Job description

Overview

English Teacher (Hybrid, GMT +3)

Please note that due to the large number of applications, only CVs with relevant experience clearly highlighted will be considered.

We’re hiring a high-performing native or near-native English teacher for a fast-moving online English program. This is not a plug-and-play teaching role. You’re expected to stay curious, adapt quickly, perform consistently in a high-expectation environment and actively improve how we teach. This role suits someone who is independent, handles pressure well and enjoys building and refining lessons in situations where ready-made materials don’t exist.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver high-impact online English lessons aligned to our curriculum and learning outcomes
• Confidently manage large (50+), mixed-level groups of teenage learners in live online classes
• Design, adapt, and improve lessons and materials on an ongoing basis
• Use EdTech and digital tools to drive engagement, differentiation, and participation
• Collaborate with the wider team to refine curriculum, delivery methods, and learning journeys

Must-Have Requirements

• Recognised teaching qualification (BA/MA, TESOL, CELTA or equivalent)
• 5+ years ESL teaching experience
• Proven experience teaching teenagers
• Available Sunday to Thursday, 9:00–14:00 (GMT +3) with the ability to commit to a fixed weekly workload (e.g. 20–30 hours per week).
• Experience teaching online groups of 5+ students
• Strong classroom management and communication skills
• Confident use of educational technology
• Meets local cultural requirements for teaching single-gender classes (same gender as assigned student group)

Highly Advantageous

• Familiarity with Middle Eastern culture
• Familiarity with AI tools or emerging EdTech
• Arabic language ability

What We’re Really Looking For

• Highly flexible and adaptable
• Independent and proactive
• Innovative and curious about better ways to teach
• Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership
• Performs well under pressure
• Exceptionally organised

Who This Role Is (and Isn’t) For

• Ideal for: Teachers who want a challenge, enjoy experimentation, and are motivated by building something new
• Not for: Teachers who rely on fixed lesson plans, rigid methods, or cookie-cutter delivery

If you’re excited by dynamic environments and unique teaching models, this role is for you.
