Role Overview

Simone's Tutoring is seeking an experienced English & Humanities Tutor in Dubai to provide personalised face-to-face support for students who need stronger reading, writing, analysis and humanities understanding. The role suits an educator who can move confidently between English Language/Literature and subjects such as History, Geography, Social Studies or Global Perspectives.

Teaching Scope

• Support English Language skills including reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, sentence control, analytical reading, transactional writing and extended composition.

• Support English Literature through close reading, annotation, literary analysis, comparison of texts, quotation use, essay planning and evidence-based interpretation.

• Teach Humanities subjects within the tutor's verified expertise, particularly History, Geography, Social Studies and Global Perspectives.

• Develop source-analysis skills including provenance, reliability, inference, bias, perspective, comparison and evaluation of written, visual, statistical and cartographic sources.

• Strengthen essay writing across both English and Humanities, including thesis development, paragraph structure, evidence selection, explanation, evaluation and conclusions.

• Support research skills, note-taking, summarising, referencing, argument construction and critical thinking while maintaining academic-integrity boundaries.

• Prepare students for class assessments, coursework preparation where permitted, mock examinations and formal examinations through targeted content review and exam technique.

• Teach command words, mark-scheme awareness, timing, planning and strategies for improving short-answer, source-based and extended-response questions.

• Adapt teaching to recognised curricula such as British GCSE/IGCSE/A Level, IB MYP/DP, American middle/high school and AP-style humanities courses where relevant to the tutor's experience.

• Provide concise parent or student feedback identifying progress, current weaknesses and clear next priorities.

Minimum Requirements

• Strong academic writing, reading-comprehension, essay-structure and source-analysis skills.

• Experience with at least one recognised international curriculum or examination pathway such as British GCSE/IGCSE/A Level, IB, American or AP.

• Ability to explain complex ideas clearly, diagnose skill gaps and adapt teaching to different ages, attainment levels and learning profiles.

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

• Ability to support assessed work through teaching, planning and feedback without completing assignments or coursework on the student's behalf.

• 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.
