A-Level Biology Course Tutor — Online, Evening or Weekend Work, Part-Time

Teach A-Level Biology online, two sessions a week, to a class of around six students. Nothing else — no reports, no cover, no duties, no commute.

We run 16-week online A-Level courses. You'd take one class through a full course: teaching two sessions a week, writing the lesson plans and resources, setting and marking fortnightly tests, and running three weekly clinics — a themed study clinic, a Q&A clinic and an exam prep clinic. Around eleven hours a week, term-time, from home. Most classes run on weekday evenings; some run at weekends.

Self-employed engagement — you invoice us and handle your own tax. Enhanced DBS required before you teach.

We pay £4,250 per 16-week course — teaching, planning, clinics and marking included. Higher for current examiners. Paid per course, so no invoicing parents and no chasing payment. There's room to take on up to four classes (around £12,000 a block) for course tutors who want more.

You'll need:

  • A-Level Biology at grade A or A* — you must have sat the subject yourself
  • A degree in Biology or closely related field
  • The same two sessions free each week for 16 weeks — weekday evenings or weekends
  • Quiet space, webcam, reliable broadband
Nice to have: experience teaching A-Level, current examining experience, online teaching experience, QTS. Teaching qualifications are welcome but not required.

To apply: complete our form at https://forms.gle/23WRXJfyBv8JRSx36 — fifteen minutes, including a five-minute video where you teach an A-Level exam question we give you.

Applications without the video can't be considered.
