Job description

Overview

We’re hiring passionate educators to join our Weekend Literacy Enrichment Team. You’ll be trained and certified to deliver a structured reading and writing programme to children aged 4–7.

• Teaching is strictly in-person on weekends only — no weekday teaching involved
• Locations: Pasir Ris, Toa Payoh, or Paya Lebar (KINEX) — assigned based on enrolment

This is a bonded, fixed-schedule role — not an ad-hoc relief assignment.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct 2-hour literacy classes (reading & writing) for children aged 4–7
• Use storytelling, drama, and creative techniques to bring lessons to life
• Track student progress and share feedback with parents
• Follow structured programme materials and teaching methods
• (Optional) Teach Primary-level English after additional certification

Training & Teaching Commitment

All shortlisted candidates will undergo HQ-led training (fully sponsored but unpaid).

You must complete the following:

• 2 pre-entry assessments

• Written task + 15–20 min storytelling video demo

Training Modules

• Literacy curriculum + educator methodology

Post-certification commitment

• You will be assigned a fixed weekly class slot (e.g. every Saturday 9–11am)
• You must complete 80 weekend lessons within 12 months
• Weekly attendance is required — no opt-in flexibility
• Early resignation before bond completion = $5,000 penalty

Class Schedule & Locations

• Work Days: Saturday & Sunday only
• Class Slots:
  • 9:00am – 11:00am
  • 11:30am – 1:30pm
• Centres: Pasir Ris, Toa Payoh, or Paya Lebar (KINEX)
• Rotations apply based on enrolment needs

Pay Structure

• $50/hour (certified rate)
• Each 2-hour class pays $100
• Assignments depend on enrolment and centre schedules
• Additional classes may be offered to those certified for Primary-level English

You Should Have

• A Diploma in Early Childhood, Educational Studies, or Speech & Drama
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching experience with children aged 3–7
• Strong English and engaging storytelling delivery
• Ability to commit to every Saturday and Sunday morning
• Reliable, professional, and ready to complete the 80-lesson bond

Video Demo Requirement

Shortlisted candidates must submit a 15–20 min video:

• Read aloud a picture book suitable for 4–7 year olds
• Use storytelling techniques — voice, puppets, props, or dramatization
• Add a simple follow-up activity (e.g. related craft or song)

Important Notes

• This is a bonded, fixed-schedule weekend role — not casual relief work
• Candidates seeking flexibility to opt in/out based on availability will not be suitable

How to Apply

This is a structured freelance teaching role — not casual relief work. Weekend availability is essential, and those looking for ad-hoc flexibility will be unsuitable.
