Homeschool Teacher Needed Dear Au Pair, we are an international American family living in China. Dad is American and Mom is from Italy. Dear daughter and son are native speakers in English and Chinese. They also speak Italian well. We have been in China for seven years and we're fortunate to live on a tropical island. Mom and Dad are very busy working as they have a growing company. Dear Daughter is 14 years old and Dear Son is 11 years old. Both are excellent students and they have learned to speak, read, and write Chinese in Chinese school. They are now being homeschooled in the American curriculum using an American homeschool program. The 14 year old is learning seventh grade English, and the 11 year old is learning sixth grade English. The children need an American au pair to be their teacher to guide them through their learning and share precious time with them. The homeschool educational program they’re using is straightforward, highly organized, and designed for non-teachers. However, we're looking for active teaching to bring out their best. The au pair/teacher needs to have excellent English skills and be a great teacher and role model. This is a superb opportunity for an au pair who loves to share with children and wants an international experience without many of the usual hardships found in less developed countries.
The courses are set up for a lot of independent study, so there is little to no preparation outside of class time. It can be quite involved during class time, yet with only two students doing a lot of independent study, it is not comparable to the demands of a larger classroom of students. If you're already a teacher, this is a simple job that can also be very rewarding because the individualized attention enables the children to learn on a deeper level. Class time runs from 8-12 and 1:30-3:30 M-F. Outside of these hours, there will be a lot of free time for the au pair to share with the children or pursue her own interests. There are lots of things to do during free time, as our gated community has a very large swimming pool, a tennis court, a basketball court, and we have bicycles. There are beautiful beaches half an hour away by car or bus. We have a domestic helper who brings groceries every morning, cooks great food, and cleans the house. The au pair is welcome to join us for all meals. There are no household chores other than keeping your own apartment clean. We provide the au pair a nice furnished apartment right across a small street from our apartment in the same complex. Utilities and ADSL internet are included. The salary is negotiable according to the skills and background of the au pair.
