Freelance English Teacher

Jool Education is a premium online English school for ambitious young learners. We go beyond traditional ESL by using English to explore high-level ideas — from literature, philosophy, and history to science, debate, and big academic questions.

Our students are bright, curious, and often capable of working 1–2 years ahead of school when taught well. We are looking for a teacher who can match that pace with confidence, warmth, and strong teaching presence.

Our curriculum is created in-house and all materials are provided through our Jool workbooks, so prep is minimal and the focus stays on excellent teaching.

Minimum requirements

Native English speaker

Bachelor’s degree or higher

Strong spoken and written English

Experience teaching children live online

Reliable, professional, and well organised

Preferred

Master’s degree

IB, IGCSE, AP, 11+, or international school experience

ESL / EAL teaching experience

Strong writing correction and feedback skills

Confidence leading advanced discussion, presentation, and debate-style lessons

What we’re looking for

We are searching for dynamic teachers who can genuinely captivate and inspire young minds.

Our best teachers are:

  • outgoing, articulate, and confident on screen
  • able to build rapport quickly with bright students
  • comfortable teaching at a faster pace than many schools
  • able to stretch students beyond their year group, not just repeat school content
  • interested in ideas across multiple disciplines
  • You do not need to be a school teacher. In fact, some of our strongest teachers come from more dynamic ESL and academic discussion backgrounds. IB expertise is a plus, but not essential.

Subjects of interest

We welcome teachers with academic interest or background in areas such as:

Literature

Philosophy

History / Sociology

Science

Debate

Or another subject that can enrich high-level student discussion

Role responsibilities

Teach online 1:1 or small group classes

Deliver engaging, high-quality lessons using Jool materials

Lead academic discussion, speaking, reading, and writing development

Complete some homework checking and student feedback

Follow Jool systems and training

Important to know

This role suits teachers who enjoy working with bright students and want to grow with a premium education brand over time.

We build teacher schedules gradually to ensure quality, parent trust, and strong long-term matches. This role is therefore best for teachers who are happy to grow their hours steadily rather than expecting a full timetable immediately.

Teaching hours are typically within 8am–3pm UK time, mainly with South Korean students.

What we offer

Starting at £17–£20 per hour, depending on experience and fit

All curriculum materials provided

Google Workspace subscription

Training in the Jool teaching method and systems

Performance-based pay reviews every 6 months

Long-term growth potential for successful teachers
