Primary / Elementary Specialist

We are looking for an enthusiastic Primary/Elementary teacher to join our growing and friendly team.

Our after school centre offers teachers a career alternative that has all the benefits of teaching children English and mathematics but without the difficulties that teachers, unfortunately, face in schools.

Our sessions have a maximum limit of 6 students - allowing them to make real progress.  Teachers are fully trained using our proven methods but we want our teachers to add their own creativity, resources and personality when teaching our students.

There are no books to mark outside of working hours and preparation time is factored into the 6 hour teaching evening (2pm till 8pm).  There are also absolutely no behaviour issues at all with our students - they come to the centre out of choice and want to learn!  Our students make incredible progress with us and it is extremely rewarding to see the results over a period of time.

Our current teachers enjoy the good quality resources, friendly students, small team and relaxed lifestyle.  They enjoy teaching again.  The hours of teaching would be after school (2pm till 8pm) and one weekend day.  Total of five days per week.

The day to day role would be a teacher of English and mathematics at Primary / Elementary level up to the age of 11.  There should be no marking to take home with you as all feedback/marking is conducting during the sessions.

Our teachers must also have a good relationship with the parents of the students, providing brief but consistent constructive feedback, allowing them to understand and acknowledge the progress their child is making.

There is a possibility of a managerial role for the right candidate which would involve marketing and promoting the centre, alongside the management of staff.  More details of this would be given at the interview stage.

We are looking for a friendly, approachable, flexible teacher who can work alongside our amazing body of staff.  We are very proud of our excellent reputation in the beautiful city of Abu Dhabi and are looking to maintain these high standards.

If you would like to hear more about an alternative to mainstream teaching then please get in touch and we can arrange a conversation before the interview stage.

We look forward to hearing from you.
