Job Description

A tutoring centre in Pietermaritzburg needs a patient tutor who can turn a failing mark into a pass. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Plan sessions that target the exact topics the learner is failing
  • Run live video lessons with a headset, whiteboard app and stable connection
  • Write a short progress note for parents after each session
  • Adjust your pace for learners with ADHD, dyslexia or anxiety
  • Prepare learners for control tests with short timed practice drills
  • Assess a new learner's level with a short diagnostic test

Must-haves

  • Distinction or strong pass in the subject you'll tutor
  • Police clearance for work with minors
  • Currently studying at university, or holding a degree or diploma
  • Available at least three afternoons or evenings a week
  • Reliable internet and a quiet place to teach for online posts

Helpful, not essential

  • Remedial or learning support training
  • Second language for learners who study in Afrikaans or isiZulu

On offer

  • Hourly rate that rises with your ratings and results
  • Work from home on online posts
  • Free training on the tutoring platform

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): proof of current studies or completed qualification plus police clearance for tutoring children.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
