We are seeking an English Language, Literature & Media Studies Tutor in Ajman to deliver structured one-to-one support across literacy, literary analysis and media interpretation. The tutor should help learners turn observations into well-supported analytical arguments.

Teaching Scope

• Deliver personalised one-to-one tutoring across English Language, English Literature and Media Studies according to the learner's curriculum, year group, assessment requirements and current attainment.

• Teach English Language skills including reading comprehension, language analysis, grammar, vocabulary, sentence control, descriptive and narrative writing, persuasive and transactional writing, and accurate editing.

• Teach English Literature through close reading, annotation, literary terminology, themes, character, structure, context, writer's methods, comparison, unseen texts and evidence-based interpretation.

• Teach Media Studies concepts including media language, representation, audiences, industries, contexts, ideology, genre, narrative, ownership, regulation and platform-specific conventions where relevant to the specification.

• Support analysis of print, advertising, film, television, news, magazines, radio, music video, gaming, online and social media texts where required by the learner's course.

• Develop comparative analysis so students can connect language, literary and media choices to purpose, audience, context and effect.

• Strengthen academic writing across all three subjects, including thesis statements, analytical paragraphs, quotation and evidence integration, contextual application, comparison and evaluative conclusions.

• Teach students to distinguish description from analysis and evaluation, and to use precise subject terminology without forcing formulaic responses.

• Prepare students for class assessments, mocks and formal examinations using targeted revision, retrieval practice, past-paper questions, unseen texts and mark-scheme analysis.

• Teach exam technique including command words, timing, annotation, planning, evidence selection, comparative structure and extended-response strategy.

• Support recognised pathways such as GCSE/IGCSE, A Level, IB MYP/DP and comparable international English or Media Studies programmes where relevant to the tutor's verified experience.

• Support coursework or non-exam assessment through teaching, planning, feedback and academic guidance without writing, producing or completing assessed work on the student's behalf.

• Provide concise progress feedback identifying strengths, misconceptions, recurring writing issues and clear next priorities.

• Strong close-reading, textual-analysis, essay-writing and critical-evaluation skills.

• Strong understanding of media terminology, representation, audiences, industries and analysis of media texts.

• Ability to teach both creative/transactional English Language skills and analytical Literature/Media responses.

• Strong professional communication, punctuality, safeguarding awareness and respect for academic integrity.

• Legal authorisation to provide private tutoring in the UAE and a valid MOHRE Private Tutor Work Permit, or eligibility to obtain the permit before accepting assignments.

• Reliable personal transportation and willingness to travel to students' homes or approved learning venues in Ajman.

Preferred Experience
