- Identify students’ academic weaknesses and adjust instruction accordingly.
- Develop practice materials, assignments, and progress assessments.
- Review student performance and provide clear, helpful feedback.
- Communicate with students and parents in both English and Chinese.
- Maintain accurate records of attendance, lesson content, and student progress.
- Work with the academic team to coordinate schedules and course plans.
- Attend staff meetings and complete other teaching-related duties as needed.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Physics, Engineering, Science, Education, or a related field.
- Fluency in both English and Chinese is required.
- Two or more years of high school teaching or tutoring experience is preferred.
- AP Physics teaching experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of high school physics and AP Physics course content.
- Solid mathematics and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to teach students with different learning styles and academic backgrounds.
- Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills.
- Professional, patient, responsible, and comfortable working with teenagers.
- Availability during after-school hours and/or weekends.
- Teaching credentials are preferred but not required.
