Kannada Teacher

Openhouse is building a new-age learning ecosystem for children, bringing high-quality learning experiences across academics, sports and extracurriculars closer to where children live. Backed by leading investors including Accel, Matrix Partners and GSV, Openhouse has grown to 12 learning centres across Bangalore, reaching 10,000+ children through our centres and programs. We are now taking this experience beyond our centres and into the communities where families live.

Over the last three months, we have already gone live in 12+ apartments, bringing Openhouse's learning experiences directly into residential communities. This is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a significant At Apartment and At Home presence across Bangalore, making high-quality learning accessible without children having to travel across the city.

What you will do
Teach Kannada to children, one child at a time. This is a teaching role. You will be in children's homes, teaching Kannada.

• Teach: Deliver 1:1 Kannada sessions in children's homes through our At Home programme, for children aged 5-12.
• Understand the child: Work out where each child actually is - many come from homes where Kannada is not the first language - and teach to that.
• Make it click: Bring the language alive through stories, songs, conversation, reading and writing, rather than drilling the alphabet chart.
• Feed our curriculum: We are building the Kannada curriculum in-house. You will not be writing it. Our curriculum team designs it from your inputs - what works with a child, what order makes sense, where children get stuck.
• Improve: Bring back what you see in sessions so what we build keeps getting better.

Who we're looking for

• 2-6 years of experience teaching Kannada to children aged 5-12.
• Strong command of Kannada - reading, writing, speaking and grammar - and the ability to explain it simply.
• Comfortable teaching 1:1 in a child's home, travelling to homes across Bangalore.
• Able to teach children from non-Kannada-speaking homes, not only first-language speakers.
• Patient and clear, able to read a child's level and adjust on the spot.
• Based in Bangalore and available full-time.

You do not need curriculum design experience. What we need from you is a teacher's judgement about what actually works with a child.

The opportunity
Teaching that is actually one-on-one. No class of forty, no syllabus to rush through. One child at a time, taught at the pace that child needs.

You will be among the first Kannada teachers in our At Home programme, and the person whose inputs our curriculum team builds the Kannada course from.

Teach. Explore. Build. Lead.
