Physical Sciences Teacher (Grades 10-12)

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at a low-fee private school in Sandton. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll be based at a low-fee private school in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
