Cambridge-Curriculum Subject Teacher (Native English Speaker)

Cambridge-Curriculum Subject Teacher (Native English Speaker)

About the Project

This is a private, invitation-only educational enrichment project based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Operating as a closed community, the project serves a carefully selected cohort of local Uzbek children aged 8 to 14 whose families are committed to long-term, high-quality academic development.

Students in the project range widely in their current English ability — from those with no prior exposure to the language through to those who hold an IELTS certificate at band 6.5. Despite this spread in proficiency, all students share the same long-term goal: to develop the academic knowledge, English fluency, and independent thinking skills needed to compete for places at the world’s leading universities.

The project’s curriculum is built on the Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary frameworks, with a deliberate pathway leading to Cambridge International AS and A Levels by the time students reach the age of 18. Academic subjects — including Science, Global Perspectives, Mathematics, Music, and Humanities — are taught entirely in English. English is not the subject; it is the medium of instruction. Through sustained, meaningful engagement with challenging content delivered by native speakers, students absorb academic English naturally, building fluency and register alongside subject knowledge without the limitations of conventional language instruction.

• Native English speaker — required without exception, as this is fundamental to the project’s immersive instructional model
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant academic subject (e.g. Sciences, Humanities, Mathematics, Music, Social Sciences, or Education)
• Master’s degree in Education, Curriculum and Teaching, or a closely related field (strongly preferred)
• Minimum 3–4 years’ teaching experience, ideally with primary or lower secondary age groups
• Demonstrated ability to teach effectively across a wide range of student ability levels, including complete beginners and more advanced learners in the same cohort
• Familiarity with the Cambridge Primary and/or Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum frameworks
• Strong skills in lesson scaffolding and differentiation; able to make subject content accessible without sacrificing academic rigour
• Excellent written and spoken English; professional academic register in all communications
• Strong classroom management skills and the ability to maintain high standards in a small-group, intensive setting
• High standards of personal conduct: punctuality, reliability, discretion, and professional integrity

Requirements:

• IELTS score 8.0 or higher (Speaking at least 7.5)

• Minimum 2 years of English teaching experience

• Professional proficiency in Russian and Uzbek (mandatory)

• Strong communication and classroom management skills

• Responsibility, punctuality, and professional appearance

• Motivation to help students achieve high IELTS results

• Master’s degree in English, Education, Linguistics, or a related field is preferred

Desirable Attributes:

• Experience teaching Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE, or A Level qualifications
• Experience working in an EFL or multilingual environment where the language of instruction differs from students’ mother tongue

• Experience preparing students for competitive international university applications, including Oxbridge, Ivy League, or equivalent
• Expertise in project-based, inquiry-led, or Socratic teaching methods
• Ability to mentor students in academic writing, structured argumentation, and extended research work

A note on language qualifications: As this role is restricted to native English speakers, IELTS or equivalent language certification is not required.
