About the job

Love teaching Science, but wish you had more time to focus on what really matters?

At The Classroom, we believe great teaching is about more than delivering lessons. It's about making difficult concepts simple, helping students overcome their struggles, and giving them the confidence to succeed.

We also believe that teachers do their best work when they have the time, space and support to focus on teaching.

We're looking for an experienced Science & Chemistry Teacher who shares these beliefs and wants to grow with us.

Your primary teaching responsibilities will be Lower Secondary Science and O-Level Chemistry. The ability to teach O-Level Physics would be an added advantage.

• Competitive Base Salary: 4,500-5,500 per month, plus performance bonus.
• Manageable Teaching Load: A maximum of 10-11 classes per week (approximately 20 teaching hours), leaving time for lesson preparation, marking and curriculum development.
• 5-Day Workweek: 4 weekdays (typically 2-9pm) and 1 weekend day.
• Flexible Working Arrangement: 1 work-from-home weekday, subject to teaching commitments.
• Year-Round Salary: Full monthly base salary throughout the year, including the October-December examination and holiday period.
• Annual Leave: 15 days of paid annual leave.
• Healthcare Benefits: Medical and dental claims.
• Dedicated Administrative Support: Our centre manager handles scheduling, fee matters and routine parent enquiries, allowing you to focus on teaching and helping students improve.
• Established Teaching Resources: Access to existing curriculum materials and teaching methodologies, with opportunities to contribute your own ideas.
