Education Consultant / Editor

Organisation

i-Learner is a dynamic, international education company offering exciting opportunities for recent graduates to gain invaluable work experience.

This role provides a unique chance to immerse yourself in a new culture, develop professionally, and make a lasting impact on students' lives.

Responsibilities

Based in Hong Kong, you will be responsible for preparing and delivering engaging face-to-face lessons. Our busiest department is English, but tutors with the ability to also teach maths, science, languages or other specialist subjects are strongly encouraged to apply. You will be required to provide individualised support to students of varying ages and abilities, teach a wide range of materials and provide students with constructive feedback. Your work on the publishing team will require a strong eye for detail, and you will be responsible for creating content, editing it, liaising with the design team and preparing books for print. Many of our publications are integrated into eLearning platforms, so you will have ongoing responsibility post-publication to work with the tech and marketing teams on this content.
