English Teacher(s)

About the Role

In 2019, we developed and delivered a full-time course that allowed twenty students to progress from absolute beginners to upper intermediate speakers (B2 level) in just one year, with some students even reaching an advanced (C1) level. Our first cohort contained 19 developers and we plan to train hundreds of students in the coming years. Our challenge now is to scale our organisation, bringing opportunities to hundreds, moving to thousands of students. 

Your mission as our English Teacher is to prepare lesson plans, design curriculums, deliver lessons based on English textbooks and oversee the English language progress of students closely by systematically maintaining student records, providing them mentorship or tutoring and administering exams. 

Your responsibilities will include:

• Helping design and deliver an online scalable English course to a class of high-potential and highly committed students
• Developing curriculum, lessons and strategies to make sure Onja’s recipient speaks English with clear RP pronunciation
• Executing lessons efficiently using different styles of teaching depending on the content.
• Editing and improving lessons after delivery
• Preparing, scheduling and correcting Onja English exams
• Systematically maintaining and updating student records with English KPI
• Mentoring the students at Onja academically
