• Maintain a focused, encouraging and respectful classroom.
• Communicate with parents about student progress when required.

What we are looking for

• Proficiency in Python is essential.
• Experience teaching, tutoring, mentoring or otherwise working positively with children or teens is essential.
• Patience, empathy and strong spoken English.
• The ability to adapt explanations to different learners.
• Reliability and commitment to a regular weekly schedule.
• Familiarity with Scratch is helpful but not required; training will be provided.
• A diploma, degree or current course of study in Computer Science, Engineering, Education or a related field
