About the Role
We are seeking a patient and supportive tutor who can speak Burmese and assist an adult Burmese-speaking client in learning very basic English. The focus will be on practical, everyday English for daily life — such as greetings, shopping, travel, and simple conversations.
This is a part-time, casual role with one-on-one sessions, tailored to the learner's pace and comfort level.
Responsibilities
* Deliver one-on-one tutoring sessions focused on beginner English for adults
* Use Burmese and English to explain concepts clearly and effectively
* Adapt lessons to the learner's goals and everyday situations
* Provide encouragement and support to build confidence in communication
* Develop simple, practical resources (e.g. role plays, real-life examples, basic worksheets)
Requirements
* Fluency in Burmese and English is essential
* Experience teaching/tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL) to adults is highly regarded
* Ability to teach patiently at a beginner level, with a focus on practical use
* Strong understanding of cultural sensitivity and respect when teaching adult learners
* Must hold (or be willing to obtain) a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) or equivalent clearance (standard compliance requirement, even for adult tutoring)
What We Offer
* Flexible hours to suit tutor and client availability
* Ongoing support from our team to ensure sessions run smoothly
* A rewarding opportunity to make a real difference by helping an adult learner gain vital English communication skills
To apply, please submit your CV and a short note about your tutoring or teaching experience.
