Seeking a Guide (facilitator) for our Elementary Studio in Pune
We are currently seeking a guide (facilitator) for our new elementary studio that serves children between the ages of 6 and 11.
Some of the qualities that we are looking for:
- You are totally fine with dealing with new things. We are a very different kind of school, so a lot of things may need to be unlearned.
- You are kind but can be firm at the same time.
- Your friends describe you as an organised person who plans ahead.
- You can quickly learn and teach yourself things you haven’t encountered before.
- You are technologically savvy. You know your way around the internet, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, email, etc.
- You are conversant in English.
Bonus points for:
- Knowing what Socratic discussions are. Additional points for leading them in the past.
- You have had Montessori-based training and have worked with young children.
(Teaching experience not required). - Having actual “guide” experience in which you mentored children or peers. (Scout guides, Sports coaches, etc.).
- Knowledge of additional languages besides English. Especially Hindi & Marathi.
Your responsibilities:
You will be a guide for our Elementary Studio at the Flourish School in Pune. You will lead our daily Socratic discussions, help our young learners build their self-paced learning goals, and then get out of the way.
You will never answer a question. Instead, you will answer questions with further questions, guiding our young learners to the right answer. One of our core principles is to equip our learners to find answers on their own.
You will work with us to develop and plan projects that our learners will undertake.
Ultimately, you will be a game-maker, challenging our young learners and egging them on at the right places without tutoring.
Location:
This is for a full-day program (Monday through Friday) from 8 AM to 4 PM at our learning space in Sopan Baug, Pune.
Remuneration:
This position pays between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month based on experience.
