About the Centre: The Academic Workshop

At The Academic Workshop, we offer more than just tuition. While grades matter, we believe in nurturing creativity, inspiration and compassion. Our classrooms challenge students to dream big and grow, guided by teachers who facilitate, encourage and inspire. Join us in shaping young minds and making learning meaningful.

Role Overview

We are looking for a passionate, well-prepared full-time teacher to teach Secondary English and JC General Paper, and to help write our JC1 General Paper curriculum. You will receive structured training in curriculum writing and teaching from our academic lead, so fresh graduates with the right attitude are welcome to apply.

Job Highlights

• Only two days at the centre: Saturday, plus one weekday evening (Monday or Wednesday, confirmed around January to February depending on student take-up).
• A short weekday: on your weekday, you come in about two hours before class for marking, lesson preparation and student consultations.
• Weekly team meeting on Zoom: 90 minutes session every Monday, so no travel is needed.
• Curriculum training and writing from home: around two hours a week of guided training, with flexible timing agreed between you and our academic lead. On your weekday, you can also come in earlier to meet in person.
• Full-time employment: CPF, paid annual leave and paid medical leave.
• Stable pay: a fixed monthly salary. If JC1 classes start later than January, your salary is unaffected and you will be assigned another class in the meantime.
• Structured training: one-to-one guidance from our academic lead, with on-the-job training mainly in your first six months.
• No regular classes in December: the month is used for training, workshops and cover teaching, and your pay continues as usual.

• Positive, energetic and committed to students' growth
• Looking for a long-term role: we invest significantly in training, so we are seeking someone who wants to grow with us beyond the first year
• Fresh graduates welcome; teaching or tutoring experience is an advantage
