Our teachers
Every CurioKids lesson is live with a real teacher. We are hiring our founding teaching team. Roles include salaried positions and pay-per-lesson contracts. Here is how we recruit teachers, how they are checked before they can teach, and how we support them.
Who we look for
What we look for when we recruit
What we ask about when teachers apply to join our founding teaching team.
Experience teaching children
Tell us how long you have taught children and whether you hold a TEFL or CELTA certificate. The short form asks about both.
Young learners, 1-to-1
You'll teach live, 1-to-1 lessons to children aged 4–12, starting with Phonics Starter.
Reliable internet and a quiet space
Lessons are live video, so you need a reliable internet connection and a quiet space to teach from.
How we recruit
How we recruit new teachers
The steps for teachers who join us through this website. For every teacher, the checks below come first.
Step 1: Express interest
Tell us about yourself and your teaching with the short form on this site. We reply by email.
Step 2: Full application
You create a teacher account and complete the full application: your profile, qualifications, the hours you can teach and your documents. You can start it at any time, with no invitation needed.
Step 3: Background check
You provide a background check, and our team confirms it before you can teach.
Step 4: Teaching agreement
You sign our teaching agreement, which includes our safeguarding rules.
Step 5: Approval
Only our team can approve a teacher to teach, and only after these steps.
Checked before they teach
No checks, no teaching
Teachers can't teach until our team has confirmed a background check and they have signed our teaching agreement.
Our team reviews every application
Teachers apply to teach with us, and only our team can approve a teacher to teach.
Background check confirmed
A teacher can't be approved until our team has confirmed their background check.
Teaching agreement signed
Every teacher signs our teaching agreement, which includes our safeguarding rules, before they can be approved.
How we support teachers
Everything a teacher needs, in one place
So every lesson can focus on your child.
Lessons ready to teach
Phonics Starter and the CEFR-based levels come with ready-made lesson slides, so teachers can focus on the child in front of them.
Everything in one classroom
Video, an interactive whiteboard, lesson slides and games, all inside the CurioKids classroom.
Feedback in one place
After lessons, teachers give feedback, which parents see alongside their child's progress in the parent dashboard.
Meeting your child's teacher
We don't publish teacher profiles on this website. Your child meets a teacher in their free first lesson, and you can see your child's lessons and their teacher's feedback in your parent account.
