Native English Primary Teacher

Carroll Preparatory School is seeking a highly capable and creative Native English-speaking teacher to teach children at the primary level, particularly emerging readers and writers in Grade 1. Our classrooms are small, active, mixed-age, and inclusive. Children do not spend the whole day sitting at desks or completing worksheets. They learn through meaningful discussion, storytelling, projects, movement, play, and hands-on exploration.

This position is best suited to a teacher who is comfortable responding to children’s ideas, adapting instruction to different learning needs, and actively participating in the classroom—not someone whose experience is limited to delivering whole-class lessons in large, traditional classrooms.

Responsibilities

• Teach English reading, phonics, writing, speaking, and literature at the primary level.
• Help emerging readers and writers develop strong foundational skills and the confidence to try, make mistakes, and improve.
• Design active, hands-on lessons using storytelling, games, projects, discussion, and meaningful writing.
• Guide children in writing stories, fiction, personal narratives, and other creative texts.
• Model excellent spoken and written English, including grammar, vocabulary, story structure, and literary techniques.
• Differentiate instruction for children working at different levels within a mixed-age classroom.
• Support neurodiverse learners and children with different learning, language, and developmental needs.
• Observe and document student progress and use evidence to plan appropriate next steps.
• Collaborate closely with co-teachers and other members of the academic team.

Essential Qualifications

• Native English speaker with excellent spoken and written English.
• Bachelor’s degree in Education, English, Literature, Linguistics, or a related field.
• At least two years of relevant experience teaching primary-aged children.
• Strong creative-writing ability. Candidates should be confident writing and teaching stories, short fiction, narratives, and children’s literature.
• Experience using active, inquiry-based, project-based, or play-based teaching methods.
• Able to manage small groups and mixed-age or mixed-ability classrooms.
• Patient, responsive, and genuinely comfortable working in an inclusive classroom.
• Experience with Reggio Emilia-inspired education or emergent curriculum.
• Knowledge of structured literacy, systematic phonics, and early reading development.

Please Do Not Apply If

• Your teaching experience is limited to lecture-based instruction in large, traditional classrooms.
• You are uncomfortable with active, flexible, or mixed-age learning environments.
• You cannot confidently teach phonics, early reading, and creative writing.
• You prefer to rely mainly on worksheets, textbooks, or pre-written lesson scripts.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on qualifications and relevant experience.
• Opportunities for professional development.
• Support with the visa and work permit process for eligible candidates.
