English Mentor (Primary to JC) — Help Students Find Their Voice

About the role Scholars Hall is a premium in-home mentorship company in Singapore, working with students from Primary through JC across a wide range of curricula. We are hiring a full-time English Mentor with genuine range — preparing Primary 5 students for PSLE, supporting Sec 4 students through O-Level English, guiding IB students through Lang & Lit, and challenging JC students on GP and Literature essays. We're looking for an English educator who takes both the subject and the student seriously — someone who holds high academic standards, makes English accessible at any level, and treats mentorship as a craft worth getting better at. What your week looks like You'll work 1:1 in students' homes across Singapore, designing sessions around how each student learns. A dedicated operations team handles student matching, scheduling, and parent administration. Your role is to teach; ours is to make sure nothing else gets in the way. On a typical week, you'll: • Run English sessions across levels — from Primary comprehension and creative writing to JC General Paper essays and unseen analysis • Plan lessons grounded in the actual syllabus your student is sitting (PSLE, MOE Sec, Cambridge, IB, A-Level) • Track progress thoughtfully and tell parents the truth — kindly, clearly, and on time • Participate in curriculum and pedagogy training, including mental-health awareness for educators working closely with students • Support students in building both confidence and curiosity in English — as an academic subject and as a way of expressing themselves Who we're looking for • A Bachelor's degree in English, Literature, Linguistics or a closely related field (a Master's is welcome but not required) • 1–5 years of teaching or tutoring experience — enough to know your craft, early enough that you're still hungry to grow • Confident teaching across at least two levels — from MOE Primary/PSLE through IGCSE, O-Level, IB, A-Level, and GP • Strong written English — you can model the standard you're asking students to reach • Warm, steady, and well-organised; the kind of person parents trust on the first call • Comfortable travelling across Singapore to conduct 1:1 lessons (travel allowance provided) • Happy to appear at team events and our socials — we like showing off our mentors • Adaptable — confident teaching across Primary and JC levels in the same week, and energised by the range Nice to have, not required • Experience marking or moderating for Cambridge, IB, or MOE • Subject specialism in Literature, Linguistics, or Creative Writing • Familiarity with the Singapore upper-secondary and JC landscape A note on fit We don't only hire English majors — but English mastery is non-negotiable. If you've studied psychology, counselling, education or special needs alongside a serious love of language and literature, and you can move confidently between a P5 comprehension passage and a JC GP essay, you might be exactly who we're looking for. What matters is genuine subject confidence across levels, real warmth in the room, and the kind of person who cares about the young human at the desk — not just the grade. What you get • Total monthly compensation: SGD 5,500–6,500 (base salary + revenue share, scaling with your student roster). Most mentors reach the mid-range within 3–4 months of a full schedule, with room to grow as your roster builds. • Flexible hours built around your sessions and prep — no rigid 9-to-5 • Medical insurance and above-average annual leave • Office space for planning and the occasional t ok eam lunch • Fully subsidised pedagogy and curriculum training • A managed student pipeline — we handle student acquisition and parent admin so your time can go to teaching • A clear path toward becoming one of Singapore's most respected English mentors — across the full range of curricula Sound like you?
