We are a fun, flexible, kind, open-minded, multinational family of five looking for an amazing educator to join us as we embark on a 6-month adventure in Asia, Australasia and the South Pacific! We are no strangers to alternative ways of educating our children. For the past two years we’ve homeschooled our three children with the help of an amazing teacher and a small group of other families. But sadly our current teacher is not in a position to travel with us so we are looking for a new educator to help develop our childrens’ academic skills and love of learning while we travel the world. Our children are 8, 6 and 4 and they are very motivated, curious, easy-to-manage learners. We are very hands-on parents that take a strong interest in our children’s education so we would welcome the opportunity to partner with and support you as you develop and implement your teaching plan. Our plan is flexible and evolving, but we envision that ‘school’ will be in the mornings and afternoons will be reserved for exploring as a family. So you, the educator, will usually be free to do your own thing in the afternoons and weekends. While your primary responsibility will be teaching, we may also ask you, from time-to-time, to do some evening babysitting (e.g. if we are heading out for dinner) and to help with some travel planning (e.g. researching kid-friendly activities in our chosen destinations). We will provide you with separate accommodation wherever possible. If you’re a diligent, creative and fun-loving teacher with a deep passion for education and a yearning for some adventure, we’d love to hear from you!
New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific and various locations in Asia
January 8, 2024 (although we can be flexible if this doesn’t work for you)
You adore children, especially early elementary age, and you adore teaching. You have a very open-minded and creative approach to teaching that adapts to the needs and interests of the child. You are constantly looking for ways to make learning come alive and to make it feel relevant and interesting. You are very adaptable and able to change your plan on a dime if you see a child getting excited about a topic or losing interest. You believe in giving kids a lot of choice in their learning and in empowering them to manage their own education. You believe that developing skills like creativity, critical thinking, communication and EQ are at least as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. You are capable of teaching children of three different ages/abilities at the same time. You LOVE travel and adventure. You are tech-savvy and are always on the lookout for the most effective/engaging Edtech tools. Most of all, you are warm, fun, kind, open-minded, reliable, well-organized, hard-working, flexible, patient, optimistic, passionate, intelligent, creative and a lot of fun!
