Jonathan Els

I'm an instructional content specialist and educator with 8+ years spanning curriculum development, classroom and online teaching, and academic content production. I design pedagogically grounded materials — study guides, lesson sequences, assessments, and bilingual/multilingual learning resources — for students from Grade 4 through Pre-AP and university level.

My core strength is turning complex material into clear, well-sequenced instruction, and producing it at scale: I've built a Python-based content pipeline (WeasyPrint, ReportLab, pptxgenjs) that lets me generate polished, print-ready PDFs and presentation decks quickly without sacrificing quality.

I've worked fully remote and asynchronously for years — coordinating with students, teachers, and clients across time zones with minimal oversight. I also run a small web design studio building sites in Framer, so I'm comfortable moving between structured curriculum work and more visual, client-facing projects.

Based between Thailand and South Africa. Looking for remote roles in instructional design, curriculum development, or education content review — including AI-training/education-content contract work.
