English Teacher (Secondary)

English Language Teaching Specialist

Full-Time | $3,500–$5,500 per month | Commencement: November 2026

Teach English. Shape Thinkers. Build Your Career.

At illum.e, we believe that exceptional education begins with exceptional educators.

As we continue our next phase of growth, we are looking for English Language Teaching Specialists to join our academic team from November 2026.

Whether you are a new teacher looking to build a meaningful career in education or an experienced educator ready for your next stage of professional growth, we want to hear from you.

This is more than simply another teaching position.

We are looking for educators who care deeply about the craft of teaching, take ownership of student outcomes, and want to grow within an ambitious education company where strong performance, professional development and greater responsibility lead to genuine opportunities for progression.

The Role

As an English Language Teaching Specialist, you will teach Secondary 1 to Secondary 4 English Language students across two of illum.e’s six centres in Jurong East, Bukit Timah, Novena, Parkway, Hougang and Tampines.

Teachers will be assigned to two centres according to organisational and manpower needs.

You will work with illum.e’s established curriculum, pedagogical frameworks and academic systems while developing the professional judgement and teaching mastery required to become an exceptional educator.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering engaging, rigorous and outcomes-driven English Language lessons to Secondary 1 to Secondary 4 students;

• Helping students develop mastery across comprehension, continuous writing, situational writing, language analysis and critical thinking;

• Monitoring student progress and taking ownership of academic outcomes;

• Providing thoughtful, professional and constructive feedback to students and parents;

• Building strong relationships with students and creating a classroom environment in which they are challenged, supported and inspired to improve;

• Working collaboratively with fellow educators to strengthen curriculum, pedagogy and the overall student experience;

• Contributing ideas and perspectives towards the continued improvement of our academic programmes;

• Participating actively in professional development, training and mentorship; and

• Contributing to the continued growth of illum.e as we expand across Singapore.

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from both new and experienced educators.

You should possess:

• A recognised Bachelor’s degree;

• Strong proficiency in the English Language;

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills;

• The ability to explain complex ideas clearly and meaningfully;

• A genuine commitment to student growth and academic outcomes;

• Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to continuously improve your craft;

• Strong personal ownership, professionalism and reliability;

• The ability to work collaboratively as part of a high-performing academic team; and

• The ambition to grow alongside a rapidly expanding education company.

Prior teaching experience is advantageous but not essential.

We believe that exceptional educators are developed through a combination of talent, character, mentorship, deliberate practice and opportunity.

What We Offer

Monthly Salary: $3,500–$5,500

Remuneration will be commensurate with experience, capabilities and professional fit.

Beyond remuneration, joining illum.e means becoming part of an organisation that is serious about developing exceptional educators, protecting sustainable careers and creating meaningful opportunities for professional growth.

High Care. High Expectations.

Our philosophy towards our people is simple: we believe in high care and high expectations.

We care deeply about the people who choose to build their careers with us. We invest in their development, support them through challenges, recognise meaningful contributions and seek to create an environment in which exceptional people can thrive.

At the same time, care does not mean the absence of standards.

We expect our educators to take ownership of their responsibilities, care deeply about their students, continuously improve their craft and contribute meaningfully to the team around them.

We believe the best workplaces are those where people feel genuinely supported while being challenged to become better than they were before.

A Sustainable Career in Education

We believe that doing meaningful work should not require sacrificing the rest of your life.

Teaching is demanding work, and exceptional teaching requires energy, focus and creativity. That is why we have deliberately built our employment model around creating greater sustainability and work-life balance for our educators.

From protected non-teaching time and dedicated centre breaks to organisational systems that support our teachers beyond the classroom, we want our educators to have the space to rest, recharge and continue performing at their best.

The full details of our employment benefits and working arrangements will be shared with shortlisted candidates during the interview process.

Build a Real Career in Education

We believe teaching excellence should lead somewhere.

Our educators have opportunities to progress beyond the classroom into academic leadership, curriculum development, teacher mentorship, centre leadership and broader organisational roles.

As illum.e grows, we want our people to grow with us.

Focus on What Matters: Teaching

Our established curriculum, academic systems and operational support allow educators to devote their energy towards what matters most: understanding their students, mastering their craft and delivering exceptional lessons.

Develop Your Craft

Great teachers are not simply found. They are developed.

You will receive structured training, mentorship and opportunities for continued professional development as you sharpen your pedagogy, deepen your subject mastery and become increasingly effective in the classroom.

We do not expect our educators to remain professionally static. We want you to become measurably better at what you do.

Be Recognised for Your Contribution

We believe that exceptional performance, greater responsibility and meaningful contributions should be recognised.

High-performing educators will have opportunities to take on larger responsibilities, contribute beyond the classroom and accelerate their professional progression as the organisation continues to grow.

Join Us at a Defining Stage of Growth

From a single centre to six centres across Jurong East, Bukit Timah, Novena, Parkway, Hougang and Tampines, illum.e’s journey is still being written.

The people who join us today will have the opportunity not merely to work within the organisation we have built, but to help shape the organisation we are becoming.
