What does the day look like?
Direct classroom teaching takes up 40% to 50% of your working time. Sessions run in 90-minute to 120-minute group blocks, mostly during late afternoons (16:00–18:00), evenings (18:30–21:00), or full weekend days (09:00–18:00). Split shifts with a 4-to-5-hour afternoon gap are common.
The remaining 50% to 60% of the job consists of diagnostic marking (grading IELTS Task 1 and Task 2 essays and mock tests), adapting curriculum materials, logging data into systems like Canvas, Google Classroom, or Moodle, and reporting progress to clients and parents. Interactive whiteboards and platforms like Testizer are standard tools. Work intensifies to 6-day weeks during peak exam seasons in April–June and November–December.
