New York: July-December

Job Description

Beacon has provided tutors for the last two school years who have been working with the girl following a bespoke curriculum based on a hybrid of the UK and the PYP systems. It is anticipated that a similar approach will be taken. Opportunities for adding depth and breadth to this will be actively followed, particularly in the STEM subjects.

Requirements

• Suitable experience and expertise teaching students of the appropriate age
• Native Spanish fluency
• Experience delivering a broad spectrum curriculum engaging the girl and allowing her to satisfy her intellectual curiosity
• Ability to design and deliver assessment and feedback mechanisms that encourage learning and develop lifelong learning skills
• Impactful and inspiring teaching style
• Full understanding and compliance with all educational and regulatory requirements, including annual standardised testing to comply with the regulations of the home schooling authorities in Florida
• Comprehensive record-keeping of all teaching and learning activities and progress
• Non-smoking and apolitical stance
• Tolerance and respect towards others

Benefits

• Flexible schedule to accommodate other commitments
• Opportunity to work in person or online depending on availability
• Option for a contract extension to cover the period from January – June, subject to the right to live in the chosen destination
• No accommodation or transportation provided as part of the role

Pay and Schedule

This is a full-time position. The expectation is that the teachers will follow a full-time schedule; 5 days per week, 9-5. Some flexibility to allow for other commitments of the teacher could be accommodated. Teaching time will not fill the whole of this time as that would not be practical for the student, but they will be available if required. Flexibility and a “can do” attitude are expected from the teacher in order to facilitate educational enrichment activities.

Accommodation and Travel

No accommodation or transportation provided as part of this role. The expectation is that the teacher will live within reasonable daily travelling distance of the clients home. If the tutor needs to relocate they will be expected to cover their own accommodation costs.
