About Us
We believe in one idea: passionate, emotionally intelligent teaching changes lives. Over the past 4 years, we’ve helped students rediscover their confidence, motivation, and love for learning.
We’re looking for another passionate teacher. If you love teaching and are passionate about math, chemistry, physics, statistics, English, or any other school subject, this opportunity is for you. If you see teaching as your main long-term goal, this opportunity is for you. If you find yourself in another field, but always coming back to teaching, this opportunity is for you. We're especially looking for people who are confident in calculus and/or physics. If you know Math 151 at UVic (finite math), that's a major plus.
What You’ll Do
- Work one-on-one with high school and university students (mostly in-person in Victoria, but occasionally online).
- Adapt lessons to each student’s learning style, strengths, and challenges.
- Build strong relationships with students and their parents through empathy, encouragement, and clear communication.
- Share your enthusiasm for the subject.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t have to be a professional teacher already, but you should be someone who lights up when helping others learn. The right candidates will:
- Be genuinely passionate about their subject(s) and about teaching.
- Naturally connect with students and make them feel comfortable.
- Show patience, adaptability, and empathy.
- Be reliable, professional, and consistent in scheduling.
- Have some background or experience in tutoring/teaching (preferred but not required).
- Have a strong academic background, especially in STEM subjects (other subjects welcome).
Why Join Us?
- Competitive pay: $27.50/hour, as an independent contractor.
- Flexible scheduling: choose when and how much you work (typically 10–30 hours/week, depending on demand and your subject expertise).
- Unique training: gain skills in emotional intelligence and adaptive teaching.
- Meaningful work: help students not only improve academically, but also build confidence and discover what they’re passionate about.
Requirements
- Based in Victoria, BC, or willing to tutor in-person in Victoria.
- Access to reliable internet and a computer for online sessions.
- Legally able to work in Canada.
How to Apply
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Please apply with your resume and a short cover letter telling us:
- What subjects you’re most excited to teach.
- A time when you helped someone learn something new and how it felt.
