Job description

We’re expanding!

We’re expanding our Umhlanga-based team and are looking for educators who are comfortable delivering curriculum-driven English lessons to both younger learners and adults. The focus here isn’t on ad-hoc conversation — it’s on guided progression, consistency, and helping students develop confidence over time.

About the role

You’ll be teaching live, online classes from our Umhlanga centre, working through a structured curriculum designed for different age groups and proficiency levels. Lessons are pre-built and sequential, so students move through a defined learning path rather than isolated sessions.

Your role is to bring that content to life — adapting your delivery style depending on whether you’re working with a younger learner who needs energy and encouragement, or an adult who values clarity and practical application.

Requirements

• Matric Certificate is required
• Bachelor’s Degree (any discipline) is preferred
• 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification
• Based in or able to commute to Umhlanga
• Availability for on-site shifts, including weekends
• Comfortable working within structured lesson plans and progression frameworks
• Confident using digital teaching tools and managing live online environments

What makes someone a good fit

• You enjoy teaching with a clear roadmap rather than improvising every lesson
• You’re able to adjust your tone and approach across different age groups
• You balance patience with pace — especially when guiding younger learners
• You’re consistent and detail-oriented when following curriculum milestones
• You bring enough personality to keep lessons engaging, without losing structure
• You’re comfortable being measured on delivery quality and learner progress

Teaching environment

• Curriculum-led, progression-focused learning model
• Lessons designed around skill-building (speaking, comprehension, fluency)
• Mix of child-friendly engagement techniques and adult-focused instruction
• Platform-supported teaching with built-in materials and prompts
• Real-time feedback tools to track learner development

Shift options

• Mon – Fri: 08:00 – 17:00
• Mon – Fri: 22:00 – 06:00
• Sat & Sun: 06:00 – 16:00
• Sat & Sun: 12:00 – 17:00
• Sat & Sun: 17:00 – 21:00
• Sat & Sun: 22:00 – 06:00

What you’ll get

• A structured teaching model with clear progression pathways
• No lesson planning — content is fully provided
• Ongoing support and coaching on delivery and engagement
• Exposure to a diverse, international student base
• A stable, centre-based environment with the tools you need to focus on teaching
