Governess-Governor
A lovely American–Singaporean family based in Chelsea, London is seeking an experienced Homeschool Teacher to join their household on a long-term basis. The family has three homeschooled children—one boy (11) and two girls (12 and 13)—as well as a newborn baby. The father works from home, and the family is looking to build a dedicated, long-term educational support team within the household.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly professional, mature, and experienced British qualified teacher who is passionate about education and helping children reach their full academic potential.
The Role
The Homeschool Teacher will be responsible for providing academic support to the three children, ensuring they remain engaged with their online learning programme while strengthening their knowledge across all core subjects. The successful candidate will help develop effective study habits, encourage independence, monitor academic progress, and adapt learning to suit each child's individual needs and abilities.
The teacher will work collaboratively with the family's Senior Governess and parents to create a positive, structured, and inspiring learning environment. The role also requires accompanying the family on international travel as required.
