Tutoring
IGCSE English and Literature tutor — Jaipur
Cambridge English and Literature in Jaipur, taught at home or online, with the directed writing and summary technique that lifts 0500 grades fastest.
Role Overview
Jaipur families rarely find a tutor who has marked 0500 to Cambridge standards, and the usual substitute is a general English teacher who corrects grammar. Grammar is not where these marks are. Audience, form and purpose are, and they are trainable.
Job Description
The summary question is the quickest win on the paper and should be drilled until the technique is automatic.
Literature 0475 texts are set by the school, so teaching works from their editions and essay titles rather than a standard list.
Hybrid works well here because essay feedback is often better written than spoken, and students reread written comments.
You decide per student whether you teach at their home, online, or a mix of the two. Most engagements on this role start in person and move revision sessions online. In-person requests only come from C-Scheme, Malviya Nagar, Mansarovar, Vaishali Nagar, Jagatpura and the Tonk Road corridor.
In-person students follow the home tuition split: the first month is 50-50, then 100% is yours for as long as the engagement lasts. Online sessions pay you 70% of the fee with no first-month split. Both are paid out on the 1st of each month with an itemised statement.
Responsibilities
- Return marked written work with specific, criterion-referenced comments.
- Drill the summary question weekly until it is reliable.
- Keep a running list of each student's recurring errors and revisit it monthly.
- Plan each session around the student's current school unit rather than a syllabus order of your own.
- Set and publish your own fee, and decline any student who is not a fit.
- Report progress to the family at the review points agreed when the engagement starts.
- Keep agreed session times and give at least 24 hours' notice through IB Gram if a session has to move.
Requirements
- 0500 reading and writing papers to Cambridge standard, including summary technique.
- Literature essay structure and close textual analysis for 0475.
- Detailed written marking that a student can act on alone.
- A degree in the subject or a closely related one. Teaching experience counts, but subject knowledge is checked first.
- Verified government ID and at least one credential we can confirm with the issuing institution.
- Two references we can contact, at least one from a school, college or family you have taught.
- Reliable travel to the listed areas at the times you have offered, in real traffic.
Nice To Have
- Experience with the 0500 to IB English A transition.
- Experience with the specific school's internal assessment calendar.
- Availability for a longer weekend slot in the eight weeks before mocks.
Benefits
- You set your own fee and we publish it unchanged, so there is no negotiation after you have taught.
- Students are matched to you by programme, subject and level before you accept.
- No joining fee, no subscription and no exclusivity - teach elsewhere as well.
- Monthly payouts on the 1st with an itemised statement.
- You choose per student whether the engagement is in person, online or mixed.
