Part-time: Coding teacher | Extracurricular coding classes for kids (Singapore)

📄 Fill in this form

Role | Teaching kids coding after school

We teach coding at various international schools in Singapore and we are looking for an enthusiastic teacher that can deliver those lessons.

Many kids find coding boring, many more are afraid, and even more think they are not “smart enough” to learn it. These kids will be left behind in an increasingly tech-driven world.

You will have the opportunity to transform kids’ lives by fundamentally reframing their confidence and perception of coding. You’ll give these kids 1 -2 joyful hours a week, where they will learn not only that they are smart enough to learn to code but that the process itself is incredibly fun.

Some more details

• Teach kids ages 8-16 how to code in Python/Scratch in small group classes after school, on school premises.
• We provide you with all lesson material beforehand, which means minimal prep time.
• As a teacher, your role will be to guide the students to write the code for the full project, in a way that they can proudly say “I did this myself” or “we did this together”. This will require a lot of patience, empathy, and the skill of coaching. You’ll be problem solving and learning together along the way, and often our teachers learn a lot from their students.
