🌾🌞 Calling all outdoor enthusiasts and education enthusiasts! 🌾🌞
Are you a lover of farm life, the great outdoors, and have a passion for inspiring young minds? We are in search of a dedicated and energetic individual to join our family on our beautiful farm. Not only will you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a unique countryside experience, but you will also be able to share your knowledge and expertise in tutoring Cambridge IGCSE.
At our farm, we cherish the importance of education and believe in providing a well-rounded learning environment for our children. We utilize an online curriculum that is seamlessly coordinated, but we need someone who can go the extra mile to explain, motivate, and help prepare schedules for our teenagers. Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with teenagers are essential for this role.
As a live-in tutor, you will be provided with your very own private, open-plan loft, complete with a private garden, just 200 meters from the main house. This comfortable and cozy accommodation will ensure you have your own space to relax and unwind. Your main responsibility will be spending around 3 to 4 hours a day tutoring our children individually, making sure they receive the attention and support they need.
In exchange for your tutoring assistance, you will receive free accommodation. Additionally, there are opportunities for further remuneration through assisting on the farm. Whether it's manual labor in our orchard and general farm chores or assisting with the preparation of products to sell, there are ways for you to earn additional income. Alternatively, if you work remotely, you can exchange your tutoring work for free accommodation and use your own time to work and earn your own income.
Our ideal candidate is a vibrant and passionate individual who enjoys the great outdoors, has a love for animals, and takes pleasure in going for walks. While it would be wonderful to find someone from a British background or someone who has completed Cambridge IGCSE themselves, we are open to highly academic individuals who are familiar with the Cambridge curriculum. If you possess additional skills such as mountain biking, art, sketching, piano, video editing/CG animation, baking, or cooking, that would be an exciting bonus!
The length of your stay and remuneration can be discussed and tailored based on your skills and availability. We are flexible and eager to find the perfect fit for our farm and family.
If this sounds like your dream opportunity, please reach out to us. We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you into our farm family! 🌻🐑🚜
