Private tutor (fluent English, full-time, nursery/kindergarten level) International family in Alphaville looking for private tutors for 3-4 children at nursery school / pre-school / kindergarten level.
Requirements: Fluent English, by which we mean: candidates' English should be such that they'd be comfortable and qualified to teach full-time in English at a school in an English speaking country such as the USA or UK.
In other words, able to talk eloquently and extemporaneously for extensive periods of time without hesitation with a rich vocabulary and correct grammar and pronunciation.
Prior experience teaching nursery / kindergarten / primary in English as main classroom teacher at a top quality school.
University degree Formal education/teacher training Passionate about education Enjoy & have a talent for working with young children Proactive, organized, entrepreneurial, self-driven, as you will not be supported by a big bureaucracy Portuguese is optional Already living in Alphaville/São Paulo is a plus, relocation for international candidates a possibility.
The work: Support the children learning to speak in English and growing their vocabulary (father speaks in English, but mother & most other adults around them speak in Portuguese), developing a love of books and, when appropriate, skills to prepare for literacy & maths.
The essence in some sense is the same as that of a nursery/kindergarten teacher at an English-speaking school, but with fewer pupils, though with a range of 3 years between the eldest and youngest.
Expectation is that children will over time be well prepared to enter top selective UK schools at 7+, for example.
Not a nanny (the children have a nanny focused on things like bathing, feeding, etc.
), though tenderness in dealing with such young children is important.
Teaching initially at home.
If successful, moving to an offsite location and leading the set-up of an international nursery for more children is a possibility, which would provide exceptional financial and professional growth opportunities.
Advantages vs. teaching positions at international schools: Competitive compensation package vs.
Tier 1 international schools No school bureaucracy and just 1 set of parents to deal with (at least initially) - focus on the children.
Freedom to go beyond what is possible in a classroom inside a school Possibility of leading / setting up international nursery mentioned above Both full-time and part-time possible Location: Alphaville is a leafy suburb of São Paulo, Brazil with excellent quality of living.
It spans Barueri and Santana de Parnaíba It is a 40min-1h15min drive away from the São Paulo 'Zona Sul'
