Physical Sciences Teacher (Grades 10-12)

Teach at a low-fee private school in Upington where your planning, marking and patience all count. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a low-fee private school on the Upington side of Northern Cape. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
