Exploring Scholar
English Language Arts (ELA) Instructor (Grades 3 – 12) – North York Campus
Location: North York, ON M2J 4G8 (In-Person)
The Exploring Scholar Advantage
Join a rapidly expanding K–12 enrichment provider where the focus is on academic depth and innovative instruction. At Exploring Scholar, we believe teachers should spend their time teaching, not doing paperwork. We provide a modern, tech-forward facility and a dedicated admin team that handles all student recruitment, scheduling, and parent communication.
The Role
We are looking for a specialist in English Language Arts to lead small-group classes at our North York location. This role is designed for educators who are passionate about literacy, essay structure, and critical analysis.
Our curriculum spans from foundational literacy (Grade 3+) to advanced high school literary theory.
Note: This is a core ELA position (Reading, Writing, Analysis). It is not an ESL/ELL instruction role.
Why Join Our Team?
• Predictable Schedule: Stable, semester-based hours with zero uncertainty.
• Commuter-Friendly: Free parking stipends provided; only a 15-minute walk from Don Mills Station.
• Growth-Focused: We support our staff with professional development, resume cultivation, and opportunities to lead unique educational projects.
What You Will Do
• Curriculum Delivery: Facilitate high-impact lessons in phonics, grammar, composition, and literary analysis for small groups or 1-on-1 sessions.
• Versatile Teaching: Adapt your approach for younger learners (building reading confidence and vocabulary) through to seniors (mastering the research essay and university-prep analysis).
• Student Inspiration: Foster a genuine appreciation for North American literature and advanced writing techniques.
• Feedback & Assessment: Mark student work and provide constructive insights to help them reach their academic goals.
• Collaborate: Use our digital classroom tools to enhance the physical, in-person learning experience.
Candidate Requirements
• Academic Background: Degree in English, Education, or a related Humanities field is mandatory.
• Versatile Experience: Proven history of teaching or tutoring ELA. You must be comfortable working with students from Grade 3 through Grade 12.

• Commitment: Available for a minimum of 4 hours per week at our North York campus.
