English Language & Verbal Trainer

IELTS Trainer — Freelance, Online

CLBS Institute (Catalyst Learning by Sanchita) Institute is a boutique test-prep and study-abroad consultancy. We work one-to-one with students preparing for IELTS, PTE, TOEFL and the Duolingo English Test, and applying to universities in the UK, US, Singapore and Australia. We keep numbers small, diagnose each student's weakest skill first, and teach to that.

The role

You will teach one-to-one online sessions, mostly IELTS and TOEFL. Our standard course is 16 sessions, delivered in four modules of four. You prepare your own session material, teach on Zoom or Google Meet with your camera on, and set homework on our practice portal after every class.

Responsibilities

• Deliver one-to-one live sessions in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
• Run live Speaking mocks and mark Writing against the official band descriptors, within 48 hours
• Assign and review portal homework for every student, without exception
• Give students specific, targeted feedback rather than general advice
• Run demo sessions for prospective students, following our demo structure
• Keep a simple session log so we can track progress

What we are looking for

• At least two years teaching IELTS, with evidence of students reaching their target bands
• Accurate band scoring: you can mark a Writing task or Speaking response and explain the score against the descriptors
• Interactive teaching. Our sessions are a conversation, not a presentation
• A reliable laptop, webcam and stable internet. Phone-based teaching is not possible for this role
• Comfortable with online portals and screen sharing
• Experience with PTE, TOEFL or DET is an advantage

Hours

Freelance, online, on a fixed weekly slot in IST. Evenings and weekends are our busiest times.

Our hiring process

A short screening call, then a recorded 35-minute session with a live teaching task. No take-home assignments.
