Physical Sciences Teacher (Grades 10-12)

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at a low-fee private school in Soweto. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Soweto; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
