Are you a trained IB teacher? Spires seeks experienced tutors of IB subjects who can cover both the HL and SL syllabus of the diploma course. Applicants must have a minimum of a degree and formal experience as a teacher or tutor. We look favourably on those with teaching qualifications/licences and any further training towards teaching for the IB.

Spires is an online tutoring platform which continues to double in size each year, with more students joining each day looking for help with their studies. The function of Spires is to connect students with tutors across the world and facilitate the online tutoring process. It streamlines the private tutoring process for both parties, eliminating paperwork and administration, as well as the need to travel. Tutors are treated as self-employed professionals and are given the freedom and flexibility to set their own hours and their own rates. They are fully responsible for determining what they teach and how they teach it.

Key requirements:

Committed - Spires seeks to create a class of professional tutors and elevate the profession. Prospective tutors need to show a commitment to education, they must have demonstratable lecturing or tutoring experience and they must be committed to tutoring for the long term.
Tech orientated - You must be able to use technology easily and should have experience of delivering classes online. We expect you to be computer literate and be able to use all common tools and software e.g., video calling, emailing and typing without issue. You must also be able to use our user guide, which contains a searchable database of articles with screenshots and videos.
Student focused - A tutorial is all about serving a student's needs. Tutors need to plan and deliver engaging tutorials which explore the problems a student has and why they are having them. We expect tutors to be able to build long term relationships with students.
Independent - Tutors must be able to think and work independently. The Spires platform operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a year, and is never closed. Tutors can be giving a class at any time of day and will need to be able to troubleshoot basic issues, as well as utilise our user guide for help.

Application process:

Apply online, it takes only 10 minutes! If we like your profile, we will invite you interview. This will consist of a short 10-minute online tutorial. This entire process can be completed within 24 hours, so it is up to you to act fast!

Applicants need to have the right to work in the UK. We do not accept students, or those on tier 2 or tier 4 visas.
