Title: Business English Coach
Company: Be Dynamic
Location: South Africa
**** If you do not meet these requirements, you will NOT hear back from us. Please do not apply if you don't meet these requirements, we don't make exceptions. ***
We are looking for English speakers (US, UK, CAN, SA, NZ, AUS citizens only – for tax and logistics purposes) to join our company as English Coaches / Mentors.
We work with adults who speak English as a second language. They have management and corporate experience, so they are looking to speak to a different type of "teacher" – someone who has an academic or industry background that is similar to theirs.
This role is part-time but it can develop into full-time depending on your availability
and ability to retain clients:
- Coaches are partnered with clients based on the client's preferences.
- Flexible times as an independent contractor.
- Peak work hours are between 6pm and 12pm Korean time (11 am – 5 pm SA time), although other hours are also available. Clients are open to coaching 24 h a day. Saturdays and Sundays are busy days too.
- We don't schedule surprise meetings or require you to wait at your computer in case someone logs on.
- NZD33 per hour, pro rata to match session length (25 min or 50 min sessions) NZD27.50 (approx R270) per 50 min session
- There can be a gap between hiring and being partnered with your first client. We retain an eligible pool of vetted coaches for clients to choose from.
What does a Coaching Session involve?
Practically, the work involves teaching skills, language (rephrasing, helping with tense, plurals etc if necessary) and life coaching. You meet with the same client regularly and, ideally, you should form a long-term working relationship with them.
There is no set curriculum to teach, so it is very stimulating for the coach and student. You are required to give feedback and mentor your clients.
This role most suits a person who enjoys explaining patiently and who listens carefully. For example, a good coach encourages the client to speak for about 70% of the time so they can offer feedback. You should also enjoy learning about foreign cultures and sharing about your own daily experiences.
You will need to type quite a lot during the session. You need to type key phrases / sentences to show clients how/where they made a mistake while speaking and fill in the feedback forms. Coaches who don't maintain a high standard usually lose clients and our company offers most of the new clients first to coaches with high retention rates.
Requirements:
1) At least 7 years of corporate experience in any of the following areas: Finance, Business Administration, Law, HR, Pharmaceuticals, Marketing, IT, Manufacturing, Science, Engineering and B2B Sales (NOT customer facing retail sales). Specialist ESL teachers with CELTA /TESOL degrees and over 10 years of experience are also considered.
2) A University degree;
3) A TEFL/TESOL certificate; Teaching experience is an advantage but not essential. Training will be provided before starting with your first client.
4) A quick typing speed (30 – 40 WPM) to take appropriate in class notes (The faster you are, the easier the work is to do);
5) Fast internet connection and a quiet place to work.
If you do not meet these requirements, you won't will hear back from us. Please do not apply if you don't meet these requirements, we don't make exceptions.
Ongoing training and troubleshooting is provided.
