We are looking for an experienced Scratch tutor!

The tutor must have a proven track record working with children around 8 years old, and all lessons must be conducted in English.

A solid understanding of child psychology and the ability to design engaging, varied, and student-centered lessons is essential.

The tutor must share our values around intrinsic motivation and child-led learning, while also maintaining soft authority through warmth, structure, and adaptability.

The tutor should be both innovative in teaching methods and capable of setting respectful boundaries.

Additionally, the tutor must be familiar with various programming curricula and be able to design a clear, step-by-step learning plan showing how the student will transition from Scratch to more advanced languages like Python.

Key Role Outcomes

  • The tutor is expected to create and communicate a clear learning roadmap that guides the student from an intermediate level in Scratch to confidently using more advanced programming languages such as Python.
  • A key outcome is the student’s sustained engagement and intrinsic interest in coding.
  • The student should feel excited about programming, consistently complete homework out of genuine curiosity, and develop a deep understanding of core programming concepts.
  • The tutor is also responsible for maintaining high academic outcomes, ensuring steady progress and visible mastery over time.

Responsibilites

  • The tutor is responsible for delivering daily lessons from Monday to Friday.
  • The tutor must provide a structured learning plan and keep it updated to reflect the student’s current position and progress.
  • Bi-weekly participation in the Tutor Council is required, where the tutor shares observations, progress updates, and any challenges.
  • After each lesson, the tutor must complete a short feedback form assessing the student’s effort and knowledge mastery, with brief comments.
  • Assigning and reviewing homework regularly is also a core responsibility.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience teaching Scratch to children around 8 years old
  • Ability to design and communicate a clear learning roadmap from Scratch to Python
  • Strong classroom presence: warm, engaging, structured, and adaptive
  • Understanding of child psychology and age-specific motivational strategies
  • Alignment with our values: intrinsic motivation, curiosity, respect for the child’s rhythm
  • Commitment to lesson feedback, homework assignment and review, and bi-weekly team syncs

Qualifications:

  • Degree in Education, Computer Science, or related field (preferred)
  • Certification or training in child development, pedagogy, or digital education (preferred)
  • Fluent English speaker with excellent communication skills
  • Familiarity with international programming curricula for children
  • Experience developing or adapting coding curricula for individual learning paths
