Primary Focus: Public Speaking & Communication | Secondary Focus: English Support & Parent Enquiry Calls

ACROBO, a brand of Schoolola Pty Ltd, is seeking an energetic and engaging English Tutor & Speaking Coach to work with students in Grades 2 to 8.

The primary focus of this role is public speaking, communication and confidence-building. You will coach students to become clear, expressive and confident speakers through structured lessons involving public speaking, storytelling, presentations, persuasive speaking, discussion and performance.

The role will also include some English tutoring and a small amount of parent enquiry and enrolment follow-up calls.

As ACROBO continues to grow, you will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas and feedback that help shape our Speaking and English programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-energy, engaging and structured Speaking and Communication classes for students in Grades 2–8.
• Coach students in voice projection, articulation, expression, body language, eye contact, gestures and stage presence.
• Build student confidence in public speaking, storytelling, presentations, persuasive speaking and impromptu speaking.
• Help students organise their thoughts and communicate ideas clearly and confidently.
• Facilitate discussions and help students strengthen reasoning, vocabulary and argument structure.
• Provide individual coaching and constructive feedback so students demonstrate visible improvement over time.
• Create a positive and inspiring classroom environment where students feel comfortable speaking and participating.
• Manage group classes confidently while adapting to different student personalities and ability levels.
• Support students with English skills, including vocabulary, comprehension, writing, grammar and verbal expression where required.
• Encourage positive values including confidence, empathy, kindness, integrity and respect.
• Provide useful feedback to parents regarding student progress.

Parent Enquiry & Enrolment Calls

A small component of the role will involve speaking with prospective and existing parents.

This may include:

• Calling parents who have enquired about ACROBO programs.
• Explaining the Speaking and English programs in a clear and friendly manner.
• Understanding a child's needs and recommending an appropriate program or class.
• Following up trial classes, assessments or enquiries.
• Answering basic questions about classes, learning outcomes and enrolment.
• Encouraging suitable families to enrol where the program meets their child's needs.
• Recording brief notes and follow-up actions accurately.

This is not primarily a sales role. However, the successful candidate should be comfortable speaking with parents, building rapport and confidently explaining the value of ACROBO programs.

• An English tutor or English teacher
• Public speaking coach
• Drama or acting teacher

What We Are Looking For

This is not simply a traditional English tutoring role.

We are particularly looking for someone who can walk into a room, engage students and help them become noticeably more confident communicators.

The ideal candidate combines the strengths of a:

Speaking Coach + English Tutor

Your main goal will be to help students:

Think → Speak → Present → Communicate

while strengthening the English skills that support confident communication.

You should also be comfortable having warm, professional conversations with parents who are considering ACROBO for their child.

Growth Opportunities

As ACROBO grows, strong performers may have opportunities to progress into:

Senior Speaking Coach → Lead Tutor → Curriculum Development → Program Leadership

If you enjoy working with children, communicate exceptionally well and love helping young people become confident speakers, we would love to hear from you.
