What is a Private Teacher?

A private teacher works with families looking to further their children's education, help them tackle challenging subjects, and prepare for exams. Compared to tutors, private teachers usually have a more flexible and dynamic schedule and often accompany students throughout their day rather than scheduling specific appointments.

Basic requirements include the knowledge, experience, and qualifications for teaching, but the approach often differs for every family. Some parents may wish for the teacher to host sessions in a classroom or office, while others may require a more flexible schedule, such as outside sessions or museum trips.

Private teachers are most commonly hired as an alternative to regular schooling but can also be requested as additional support or to teach a niche subject.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1What's the difference between a private tutor and a private teacher?
    While private tutors are usually hired for regular weekly sessions conducted in a classroom or at home, private teachers have a significantly more dynamic working schedule. Private teachers are often asked to cover several subjects and serve as a replacement for regular schooling. Likewise, private teachers often spend more time with students and may even accompany them to various locations, such as museums or art galleries.
    2Do I have to be qualified in multiple subjects to apply for private teacher jobs?
    You don't need multiple teaching qualifications to apply for a private teacher job since some vacancies only require the knowledge of one subject (e.g., private English or maths teachers). However, knowledge and qualifications in multiple subjects are highly preferable for teachers looking to assist children with school curriculums.
    3Can I teach English as a non-native speaker?
    We expect all our candidates to be native or fluent English speakers. Although a fully native level may not be necessary for foreign language subjects such as French or Spanish, we still expect you to be able to communicate fluently in English with all of your students.
