Online English Tutor - Umhlanga Ridge Centre

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 📩 Applications If you prefer a more structured, curriculum-led approach to teaching and enjoy working across different age groups, this could be a strong fit. Please allow up to three weeks for feedback due to application volumes. If you haven’t heard back within that time, your application has likely not progressed further. 📌 POPIA Notice By applying, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal information for recruitment purposes, in accordance with POPIA.
