Potential Full-Time Opportunity in 2027
Location: Ang Mo Kio
Rate: $45-$60/hour, depending on experience and teaching ability
Levels: Primary & Secondary
Subjects: Mathematics and/or Science
One Step Journey (OSJ) is a small-group tuition centre in Ang Mo Kio specialising in Mathematics and Science.
Our classes are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 6 students, allowing our teachers to understand each student's strengths, weaknesses and learning pace and provide meaningful individual attention.
As OSJ grows, we're looking to build a strong teaching team around us.
We're looking for teachers who care about teaching well, enjoy building genuine relationships with students and parents, and take ownership of their students progress rather than simply delivering a lesson.
For the right person, we're also open to this developing into a larger or full-time role in 2027.
You'll initially join OSJ on a part-time basis and take on selected classes based on your subject strengths and availability.
You'll have the opportunity to observe and train alongside our existing teachers before progressively taking greater ownership of your classes.
Depending on your strengths, you may teach:
Primary Mathematics
Primary Science
Secondary Mathematics
Secondary Science (Chemistry / Physics / Biology)
You do not need to teach every subject or level above to apply. Let us know which subjects and levels you are confident teaching.
Teach small-group classes of approximately 3-6 students
Explain concepts clearly and adapt your teaching to students of different abilities
Identify students weaknesses, misconceptions and learning gaps
Guide students through practice, corrections and examination preparation
Prepare for lessons and familiarise yourself with OSJ's teaching materials
Monitor students progress and identify areas requiring additional attention
Provide parents with meaningful updates on their child's progress, strengths and areas for improvement
Communicate confidently and professionally with parents when questions or concerns arise
Proactively raise important concerns rather than waiting for problems to escalate
Work closely with OSJ's existing teachers during the training and transition period
Maintain a positive, encouraging and productive classroom environment
As your role grows, there may also be opportunities to contribute to curriculum development, worksheets, student progress systems and other academic projects within OSJ.
At OSJ, we believe a teacher's responsibility extends beyond the two hours spent in the classroom.
Because our classes are small, we expect our teachers to know their students well, understand how they are progressing and take genuine ownership of helping them improve.
This includes being comfortable communicating with parents when necessary.
You should be able and willing to:
Explain a student's strengths and weaknesses clearly
Give honest but constructive feedback
Discuss examination performance and areas for improvement
Answer reasonable questions about a student's progress
Raise concerns proactively when necessary
Work together with parents to support the student
This does not mean constantly messaging parents after every lesson.
It means being willing to have thoughtful and professional conversations when an update is needed rather than avoiding difficult conversations or leaving all parent communication to someone else.
You will be supported and trained in OSJ's approach to parent communication.
We're less concerned about finding the person with the longest résumé and more concerned about finding someone who can actually teach, communicate and take ownership of their students.
You should:
Have strong subject knowledge in the subjects you teach
Be able to explain concepts simply and clearly
Be patient when students don't understand something the first time
Be comfortable finding different ways to explain the same concept
Be able to adapt to students of different abilities and learning speeds
Communicate confidently and professionally with both students and parents
Be willing to provide clear and constructive progress updates
Take ownership when a student is struggling rather than simply completing the lesson
Be responsible, punctual and consistent
Be receptive to feedback and willing to improve
Genuinely enjoy working with children and teenagers
Previous tuition or classroom teaching experience is preferred, but strong candidates without extensive formal teaching experience are welcome to apply.
A good OSJ teacher isn't someone who simply finishes the worksheet.
We want teachers who notice when a student is lost, figure out why they're struggling, and find another way to help them understand.
Academic ability matters, but so do patience, communication, reliability and the ability to build rapport with students.
We're looking for teachers whom students enjoy learning from and whom parents can trust.
For the remainder of 2026, we are primarily looking for teachers who are available to join us during September and October, when our regular classes and examination preparation are ongoing.
Typical weekday class timings include:
3:30pm-5:30pm
5:30pm-7:30pm
Potentially 7:30pm-9:30pm
Weekend teaching opportunities may also be available depending on subject and level.
As students complete their year-end and national examinations, regular teaching hours will reduce significantly in November and December, and there may be little to no regular classroom teaching during this period.
We want to be transparent about this upfront, and candidates should not assume regular part-time teaching income during November and December.
For suitable candidates, this quieter period may provide opportunities for training, curriculum preparation and planning for the new academic year.
Regular classes will resume for the 2027 academic year, with opportunities for increased teaching hours.
Shortlisted candidates may be invited for:
An informal interview
A short subject and/or teaching assessment
A paid trial teaching session
We believe teaching ability is difficult to judge from a résumé alone, so the process is intended to help both sidesdetermine whether we're a good fit for one another.
OSJ is currently building its teaching team for 2027 and beyond.
For an exceptional teacher who fits our teaching philosophy and demonstrates strong classroom ability, communication skills, reliability and ownership of their students, there may be an opportunity to take on significantly more teaching responsibility or transition into a full-time position in 2027.
We're particularly interested in meeting educators who aren't simply looking for a few tuition hours, but who may eventually want to play a meaningful role in helping us build an excellent education centre.
Please send us:

Subjects and levels you are confident teaching
