ENGLISH/HUMANITIES/SOCIAL SCIENCE PRIVATE TEACHER for 3 PROFOUNDLY GIFTED MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL KIDS
Looking for a dynamic, progressive, teacher to lead English and Humanities related Subjects (History, Philosophy, Psychology, Economics, Mythology/Religion, etc.) for three profoundly gifted middle school level children who are privately educated, primarily on the beautiful island of
Boracay, Philippines.
Their current curriculum is a mix of best-in-class online tutors in math (Beast Academy/AoPS etc), programming (python), sciences (physics and chemistry so far), speech/debate, with some language arts (which we need to supplement). The kids have recently started the Michael Clay Thompson Language Arts curriculum. They are very curious about history, philosophy, psychology, and other humanities topics but we require an inspiring onsite expert teacher.
We complement academics with their interests, including, chess, music, martial arts, surfing and gymnastics. All three kids are generally 1-3 years ahead of “grade-level” in most areas but have been raised as fun-loving island based “world school” kids. Kids are multi-ethnic (South Asian/East Asian/European) and being raised as expats. Dad is a retired physician/author raised in the USA. Current winter residence is in the
Philippines, Boracay — with frequent travel to other parts of Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Requirements:
- A teaching degree or Humanities/Social Science degree is preferred but not required, but definitely some relevant modern education experience in making these topics interesting to students.
- Middle school or high school or college level teaching background or strong aptitude/interest (ideally a BA or MA), ideally work experience with Gifted Children, or in a top International School.
- Ideally energised by high aptitude kids and non-traditional educational methods
- At least one full-time live-in helper/assistant teacher will usually also be present, and responsible for chores, supervising kids while on assignments, etc.
- Flexible, creative, energetic, honest, responsible, easy going, intelligent.
- Resume and References
Remuneration Package:
- Competitive ($5,000 - 8,000+ USD) monthly salary for full time (range depending on experience, travel flexibility etc).
- Position could be full time or also part time (for example several 2-month periods throughout the year, half time, with employer funded travel) if you wanted to continue private tutoring elsewhere.
- Position is long-term (i.e., 1-2+ years ideally), but we will consider shorter term candidates. Starts immediately or within three months.
**Highly desirable: 1st or 2nd world citizenship/passport (USA, Australia, NZ, Canada, UK passports) or individuals with pre-existing 1st world visas (to facilitate travel)
