Online English Tutor - Umhlanga Ridge Centre
Job Description
We're expanding our Umhlanga-based team and is 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 roleYou'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
- 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
- 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
- Mon - Fri: 08:00 - 17:00
- Mon - Fri: 22:00 - 06:00

- 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
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.
