Job description

Full-Time Preschool & Primary Enrichment Teacher / Curriculum Developer

Ancourage Academy | Bishan and Woodlands
Teaching focus: Early literacy, numeracy, language enrichment and Primary learning foundations
Monthly salary: S$2500–S$4500, depending on relevant experience, subject expertise and teaching capability
Intended commencement: January 2027

Help younger learners build confidence from the beginning

At Ancourage Academy, we are looking for educators who enjoy helping younger children understand new ideas, develop useful learning habits and experience progress they can recognise.

You will teach small tuition and enrichment classes of up to six students. The role focuses on age-appropriate learning, clear routines and resources that support steady development.

Alongside teaching, you will have opportunities to learn practical uses of advanced AI and develop skills in learning design, communication, digital content and programme planning.

We welcome educators who specialise in particular age groups or subjects, as well as teachers with suitable experience across several Primary subjects.

Teaching scope

Depending on your expertise, your assignment may include:

• Preschool English language enrichment, phonics and early literacy.

• Preschool numeracy and foundational mathematical concepts.

• Preschool Chinese language enrichment.

• Primary English.

• Primary Mathematics.

• Primary Chinese.

• Primary Science at levels appropriate to your subject knowledge.

This is a tuition and enrichment teaching role. Your responsibilities will be matched to the ages, subjects and learning needs you can support effectively.

Applicants may specialise in a particular subject or age group.

What you will do

• Plan and conduct regular, trial and replacement lessons within your assigned scope.

• Establish clear, supportive routines that help children participate and understand expectations.

• Explain ideas using age-appropriate language, practical examples and manageable steps.

• Use suitable stories, games, visual materials and guided practice to reinforce learning.

• Build foundational literacy, numeracy or subject understanding according to the programme.

• Observe students carefully and identify gaps in understanding or confidence.

• Adapt activities and explanations to different levels of readiness.

• Develop worksheets, learning activities and simple assessments with a clear progression.

• Give encouraging, specific feedback and help students become more independent.

• Record useful observations and communicate progress and practical learning goals to parents.

• Collaborate with colleagues to improve resources and the learning experience.

• Participate in agreed training and programme-development projects.

Learn practical uses of advanced AI for planning and resource creation

You will receive company-funded access to selected advanced AI tools, including frontier models approved for the academy’s work, with practical guidance.

Applications may include:

• Exploring ideas for age-appropriate activities and lesson sequences.

• Drafting initial versions of stories, practice prompts or learning materials.

• Adapting an activity for different levels of readiness.

• Creating presentations and visual resources.

• Organising observations and preparing clear progress summaries.

• Planning a parent workshop or learning programme.

You will learn to check outputs for accuracy, reading level, developmental suitability and usefulness. Teachers will review and adapt materials before they are used with children and handle student information appropriately.

Prior AI or coding experience is helpful but is not required.

Develop wider communication and programme skills

Your development can include capabilities that support education, content creation and project work.

Possible areas include:

• Designing learning activities with clear objectives.

• Creating digital resources and visual explanations.

• Communicating progress clearly and constructively to parents.

• Public speaking and workshop facilitation.

• Using spreadsheets to organise learning observations and progress information.

• Planning a programme, coordinating materials and reviewing its effectiveness.

• Sharing teaching approaches and supporting colleagues.

For example, you could help develop a school-readiness programme with a sequence of activities, supporting resources and parent communication. Another project could involve creating a structured set of early numeracy activities or a reading-confidence workshop.

Projects will be selected according to your interests, readiness and the academy’s needs, with assigned work included within your working hours.

Long-term career development

You will receive onboarding to teaching approaches, curriculum standards, classroom routines and working tools, alongside opportunities for feedback and collaboration.

Potential directions include:

• Senior Preschool or Primary Teacher: deepen your expertise in foundational learning and classroom practice.

• Early Learning or Primary Subject Lead: contribute to resource quality and consistency in teaching.

• Curriculum Lead: take greater responsibility for learning progression, activities and assessments.

• Programme or Workshop Lead: coordinate an agreed enrichment programme or parent learning initiative.

• Team or Centre Leadership: develop responsibilities in people support, planning and programme delivery where suitable opportunities arise.

Progression will reflect teaching quality, professional capability, contribution and available responsibilities. We welcome educators who want to build a long-term career supporting children’s development.

What we are looking for

• Sound knowledge of the subjects and age groups you wish to teach.

• The ability to explain ideas simply and give clear instructions.

• Patience, attentiveness and a constructive approach to classroom routines.

• An interest in how children develop understanding and confidence.

• The ability to observe progress and adapt activities accordingly.

• Careful preparation and an interest in designing suitable learning resources.

• Professional communication with parents and colleagues.

• Willingness to learn new approaches and make practical use of technology.

Relevant tuition, enrichment or teaching experience is welcome. Strong newer educators and career changers who can demonstrate subject foundations, communication skills and suitability for working with younger learners are also encouraged to apply.

Preference will be given to candidates who can confidently teach across multiple preschool or primary year levels and/or more than one listed subject. Relevant subjects include English, Mathematics, Chinese and Primary Science. Strong specialists in a particular age group or subject are also welcome, with assignments matched to their demonstrated capabilities.
