Online English Tutor - Umhlanga Ridge Centre

The Faculty

Job Description

We're expanding!

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 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.
