Student Development Mentor

Responsibilities:

• Cover at least 90% of the mainstream-school lessons that students miss because of timetable clashes, in subjects including Literature, History, Geography, and Biology
• Deliver cover sessions through engaging, book-based and hands-on methods: memorising and discussing poetry, ghazals, and prose; reading historical books matched to the period being studied and comparing them with textbook facts; working with maps, documentaries, and mini-projects; and learning Biology through experiment and observation
• Ensure students’ grades in these subjects do not decline, maintaining an average of at least 4 on the 5-point scale
• Requirements:
• Bachelor’s degree or higher
• Minimum 2 years’ experience working with children (e.g. teaching, tutoring, mentoring, or youth programmes)
• Genuine expertise in your own field — such as IT and robotics, the sciences, the humanities, or the arts — that you can develop into a specialist direction for students
• IELTS 6.5 or higher (or an equivalent English-language certificate)
• Fluent Uzbek, and the ability to communicate confidently with parents in Russian
• Confident use of Excel or Google Sheets for tracking grades, attendance, and progress
• A patient, kind, but demanding manner: warm with children while holding firm, consistent expectations
• Strong organisational and written reporting skills, with high standards of personal conduct: punctuality, reliability, discretion, and professional integrity
• Terms:
• Position type: Office-based; all work conducted on-site at the project premises in Tashkent
• Contract duration: Minimum one academic year (12 months), with possibility of renewal by mutual agreement
• Probation period: Three months, with formal review against agreed performance indicators — student grades, lesson cover rate, attendance, termly results, and student and parent satisfaction

• Salary: Competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience; details confirmed at interview
