Job Description

Pick up afternoon or evening sessions with a remedial learning centre in Durban Central and put your subject knowledge to work. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Durban Central-based, with most of your time spent at a remedial learning centre. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Teach one-on-one or in small groups of up to six
  • Assess a new learner's level with a short diagnostic test
  • Log hours and sessions on the agency's booking system for payment
  • Write a short progress note for parents after each session
  • Work through past exam papers and marking memos with learners
  • Plan sessions that target the exact topics the learner is failing
  • Set practice work between sessions and check it next time

Must-haves

  • Own transport for home tutoring posts
  • Clear, patient way of explaining ideas
  • Distinction or strong pass in the subject you'll tutor
  • Available at least three afternoons or evenings a week
  • Police clearance for work with minors

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with IEB as well as CAPS papers
  • TEFL or TESOL certificate for English tutoring

What's in it for you

  • Hourly rate that rises with your ratings and results
  • Flexible hours you choose each week
  • Work from home on online posts
  • Free training on the tutoring platform

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: academic transcript showing your subject marks plus police clearance for tutoring children.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Durban Central.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • Lead with your own mark in the subject, such as "Maths 89% (NSC)"; tutoring agencies filter by marks.
  • List exactly which afternoons you're free, because timetable fit decides most tutoring bookings.
