About SciencebyMir
SciencebyMir is a growing online tuition business specialising in GCSE and A-Level Chemistry.
Our aim is simple: to help students develop a genuine understanding of Chemistry, improve their examination technique and achieve outstanding results.
We deliver highly interactive group lessons where students are constantly challenged, assessed and supported. Our approach combines live marking, targeted questioning, exam-style practice and immediate feedback to identify misconceptions and close learning gaps.
As our student community continues to grow, we're looking for an exceptional Chemistry teacher to join our team.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Chemistry teacher who is passionate about teaching and enjoys helping students develop their confidence.
You'll deliver live online GCSE and A-Level Chemistry lessons using our established teaching approach, supported by our teaching resources and digital learning platforms.
We offer two types of classes:
Core Classes — Small-group teaching
Groups of up to eight students, focusing on clear explanations, conceptual understanding, individual feedback and application of knowledge.
Mastery Classes — Exam-focused learning
Larger groups focusing on challenging examination questions, exam technique, common misconceptions and developing higher-level problem-solving skills.
You'll initially teach one or two classes per week, with opportunities to take on additional groups as SciencebyMir expands.
What You'll Be Doing
Deliver engaging, interactive GCSE and A-Level Chemistry lessons online.
Teach in line with AQA, OCR and/or Edexcel examination specifications.
Use a teach–test–teach approach to continually assess understanding.
Identify misconceptions through targeted questioning and exam-style problems.
Provide immediate feedback using interactive online whiteboards and live marking.
Help students develop confidence with challenging Chemistry concepts and examination questions.
