Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (SA1004)
This position is not currently available.
There are two possible scenarios for the tutoring - see below - and in either one the tutor should take full advantage of the family's domestic and cultural environment. The family require that the tutor be flexible - and potentially available during their time off - in case of unexpected changes of plan.

There will be some travelling with the family and, at this time, along with the delivery of appropriate academic study, safe sporting activities should feature in the tutor's agenda. The wider the range of sports and activities the tutor can support the better.

Application deadline: Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Duties

The family have four children aged 10, 8, 7 and 4. The academic aim is to enhance and broaden the children's knowledge in Maths, Computing and Science, plus English Language and Literature. The tutor should also foster the children's general organisational skills. The ideal tutor will be a cross between an excellent educator, a mentor and a companion.

In addition, the Tutor should be able to teach French to a reasonable level on an informal basis to the children's mother, at times convenient to the family.

Tutoring Scenarios

There are two possible scenarios for the tutoring...

Scenario 1
The children will go to school, with the tutor providing after-hours support. The tutor will work a six-day week of approx 5 hours per day. This work will involve supporting the three elder children with their schoolwork, and extending their learning opportunities.

Scenario 2
Some or all of the children may be withdrawn from full-time education and enrolled in a distance-learning program supported at home by the tutor. If this becomes the family's preferred academic path, then the tutor should expect to work normal school hours with weekends off.

Other factors

The position may suit a married couple, or a single man or woman.

The family expect the tutor to be sensitive to the family's status and the country?s values in all their actions and communications. The tutor should neither smoke nor drink alcohol.
