Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are looking for an experienced math tutor to work with an 8-year-old student in daily lessons from Monday to Friday!

The tutor must have a strong track record of working with children of similar age and be fluent in English.

Lessons should be dynamic, engaging, and adapted to the child’s learning style. A deep understanding of child psychology and the ability to cultivate intrinsic motivation are essential.

The tutor must maintain a warm yet structured teaching approach, someone who is creative and playful, but also consistent and respected by the child.

The tutor should align with our values around curiosity-driven learning and be capable of building a long-term trajectory that leads the student from foundational arithmetic through advanced elementary mathematics. Curriculum familiarity and the ability to clearly explain the roadmap are required.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct daily math lessons in fluent English, tailored to the child’s learning style and developmental level.
  • Design and implement a clear, long-term learning roadmap—guiding the student from foundational arithmetic through advanced elementary mathematics.
  • Create engaging, playful, and conceptually rich lessons that foster intrinsic interest in math.
  • Balance warmth and flexibility with structure and clear boundaries that promote a productive learning environment.
  • Monitor academic progress and communicate it regularly in a way that reflects both qualitative growth and measurable mastery.
  • Assign meaningful, interest-driven homework that reinforces learning without relying on pressure or external rewards.

Requirements:

  • Daily availability at the specified time.
  • Proven experience teaching math to children aged ~8.
  • Ability to design a clear, motivating learning journey through foundational and intermediate math.
  • Strong presence: kind, flexible, but able to set and hold structure.
  • Deep alignment with learner-centered, intrinsic motivation-based pedagogy.
  • Skilled at feedback, progress tracking, and coordination with the education team.

Qualifications:

  • Degree in Education, Mathematics, or related field (preferred).
  • Training or certification in child development, pedagogy, or elementary math education (preferred).
  • Fluent English speaker with strong communication and teaching skills.
  • Familiarity with international math curricula and ability to personalize learning paths.
  • Experience working one-on-one and adapting to individual learning styles.
