Genie/ Careers

Know your students.
Not just your subject.

We are looking for a Mathematics or Science teacher to join our Yishun centre — someone who wants to teach people rather than rooms, and who would rather be part of a small team than a staff list.

Why teach here

The part of teaching
most places lose.

Ask any teacher what they love about the job and almost nobody says the syllabus. They say a student. A particular one, who finally got it.

That is the part we protect. Our classes are kept small on purpose, which means you are not managing a crowd — you are working with people whose names, habits and blind spots you actually know. It also means the wins are visible. You see the moment something clicks, and you were the reason.

Around that, we try to be a place people are glad to come to. The team is small enough that everyone knows what everyone else is teaching, and nobody has to solve a problem alone.

With students
You'll know them
Same faces, week after week, often for years. You watch students grow up, and they remember who taught them.
The atmosphere
Warm, not stiff
Learning does not have to be joyless, and neither does working. We keep the standards high and the mood light.
The team
Close, not corporate
A small group of teachers who talk to each other, share what works, and cover for each other without being asked.
With students

They'll trust you
before they trust
the subject.

A student who is embarrassed will not tell you what they do not understand. That is the real barrier in most classrooms, and no worksheet solves it — the relationship does.

Here you have the time and the room size to build that. You learn who needs to be pushed and who needs to be left alone for five minutes. You notice when a normally chatty student goes quiet. You get the question that starts with "this is probably stupid, but —", which is the most valuable question a student ever asks.

Our students stay with us for years, and many of them come back after their exams just to say hello. That does not happen because of our materials.

The culture

Who says learning
has to be boring?

That line has been on our wall since the beginning, and we mean it about the workplace as much as the classroom.

Birthdays get celebrated. Jokes run for far too long. Nobody performs seriousness at each other to prove they are working hard. We take the teaching seriously and take ourselves a lot less seriously, and the students can tell the difference immediately — a teacher who is enjoying themselves is the easiest teacher in the world to learn from.

If you have worked somewhere that felt like a factory floor, this will not feel like that.

The team

Small enough that
you're not on
your own.

You will not be a name on a rota who arrives, teaches, and leaves. Our teachers know what the others are covering, swap what worked and what flopped, and think out loud together about a student who is stuck.

Nobody guards their material here. If you find a better way to explain something, it spreads through the centre by the end of the week — and if you are the one who is stuck, you will have help before you have to ask twice.

It is a small team by choice. That is what makes it possible to actually know the people you work with.

One opening · Two tracks

Math or Science.

You would teach one subject, not both — whichever one you know deeply enough to explain three different ways. Pick the track that sounds like you.

Track 01

Mathematics

Math is where students decide, earlier than anywhere else, whether they are "the kind of person who is good at this". Change a student's mind about that and you have changed something that lasts far longer than one exam.

We want someone who finds a wrong answer more interesting than a right one — because that is where the student actually is, and where the teaching actually starts.

Track 02

Science

Science students rarely freeze because they do not know the answer. They freeze because they cannot get what is in their head onto the page in a way that earns the mark — and nobody has sat with them long enough to show them how.

We want someone who still finds the subject genuinely interesting, because that is the part students copy from you without ever noticing they are doing it.

Students remember how a teacher made them feel. Long after the topic.

Every one of us can name the teacher who made us believe we could do something. That is the job, underneath all of it. If that is the kind of work you want to be doing, and the kind of people you want to do it with, we should talk.

How to apply

Tell us what
you'd teach.

Message us on WhatsApp saying whether you'd like to teach Math or Science, or email us with your CV attached. A short note about why you want to teach tells us more than a long résumé does.

We read every application, and we reply to all of them.
