English Teacher

Teach world-class live lessons and help build the best English lessons in the country, inside one of the UK's fastest-growing edtech startups.

Per teaching hour

Part-time, fully remote

6 hrs/week. Wednesdays and Fridays 6-9pm.

Real reach, real impact

Your lessons reach thousands of students.

Just teaching. Nothing else. No marking. No behaviour management. No student admin. No chasing, no paperwork. We've built everything else around you so you can do the one thing you're brilliant at.

Your craft reaches thousands. A great idea you have on a Tuesday can be in every Syllabi English classroom by the following week. You're not capped at 30 kids in one room. You reach thousands.

You own the improvement loop. The resources we give you are a starting point, not a script. If you can teach it better, you have the freedom to, and we want you to. Ideate, test, roll out company-wide.

Motivated students, no exceptions. Every student on the platform has a family who chose to be here and pays to be here. You walk in and the room is already on your side.

Built to sit alongside your current job. Wednesday and Friday evenings, 6 to 9pm. The schedule is fixed and predictable, so it fits cleanly around a full-time teaching role or any other daytime commitment. Many of our teachers do exactly that.

Part of a fast-growing startup. Syllabi is one of the UK's fastest-growing edtech companies. The teachers who join now are part of building something that could reshape how secondary education works in this country.

Syllabi is rethinking how UK secondary education actually works. We're an online GCSE prep platform for Year 7 to 11 students in Maths, English, and Science. What we really are is a team obsessed with one thing: giving students the best lessons in the country, taught by the best teachers in the country. Right now, we work with over 1,500 students across the UK.

We've built our platform from the ground up. Live group lessons taught by brilliant teachers. Workbooks, recordings, notes, a dedicated 24/7 personal tutor. Bi-weekly assessments with proper marked feedback. One platform, one place, one path to great GCSE results. Nobody else in UK edtech is doing this at scale.

The platform, the personal tutors, the assessments. All of it serves one thing: the lesson. That's the product. That's what students remember. And that's why we're hiring brilliant teachers to build the best lessons in the country.

Teach. Live group lessons to Year 7 to 11 students in English. Motivated kids, families who chose to be here, and the best platform in UK edtech to teach on.

Prep, without the busywork. We give you the curriculum, the slides, the resources, all built to a high standard. You don't lose your evenings making materials from scratch. You walk in and teach.

Change anything that isn't good enough. Those resources are a starting point, not a script. If you can teach it better, you have the freedom to, and we want you to.

Build with the best. Regular sessions with the other top teachers on your team: comparing what's working, pulling apart what isn't, sharing the things only great teachers know.

Own the improvement loop. Ideate, test, signal yes or no, roll out company-wide. A good idea you have on a Tuesday can be in every Syllabi classroom by the following week.

And here's what you won't do: no marking, no behaviour management, no student admin, no chasing, no paperwork. None of it. Every week, you'll teach thousands of students. What you build may help millions.

Personality. You're magnetic in front of a class. Students want to show up because you're teaching.

Craft. You're never quite satisfied with a lesson. You notice the bit that didn't land and you fix it. Being good isn't enough for you.

Forward-thinking. You don't teach the way you do because that's how it's always been done. You're hungry for a better way.

Ownership. Hand you a class or a problem and it's handled. No chasing.

Hunger. You want to be part of building something that changes UK education, not just clock teaching hours.

Scope to grow. You start at 6 hours a week, but we're looking for people who genuinely want to grow to 15 or more hours over time. If 6 hours is your ceiling, this role is not for you.

DO NOT apply if you do not meet these requirements exactly, as your application will be automatically rejected.
