Role Description: The IELTS Teacher is a remote role responsible for delivering engaging and effective online IELTS lessons to learners of varying proficiency levels. Day-to-day tasks include teaching live group classes, adapting provided lesson plans into teaching slides, assessing learner progress against the official band descriptors, and providing constructive feedback on Writing and Speaking.
The teacher will prepare students for both Academic and General Training, teach all four papers — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — and work through real exam material live, explaining the reasoning behind each answer rather than simply providing keys. The role also involves running breakout-room speaking practice, maintaining accurate records of attendance and performance, collaborating with academic staff to refine the curriculum, and ensuring that all online teaching adheres to institute standards and best practices.
Qualifications:
- Demonstrable experience preparing learners for IELTS, with results you can speak to.
- Experience teaching group classes, ideally in an online setting.
- Working command of the official IELTS band descriptors — able to explain the difference between a band 6 and a band 7 answer.
- Able to teach both Academic or General Training, and to explain where the two diverge.
- Confident teaching all four papers, including question-type strategy for Listening and Reading.
- Willing and able to adapt provided lesson plans into your own teaching slides. Our lessons are delivered visually; this is a core part of the role.
- Excellent spoken and written English communication skills.
- Bachelor's degree in English, Education, Linguistics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, DELTA, or similar teaching certification preferred.
- Experience as an official IELTS examiner is strongly preferred, and compensated accordingly.
- Comfort with remote teaching platforms, digital classroom tools, breakout rooms, and basic educational technology.
- Strong organisational skills, reliability in a remote work setting, and a learner-centered teaching approach.
