About the roleScholars Hall is a premium in-home mentorship company in Singapore, working with students from Primary through JC across a wide range of curricula. We are hiring a full-time English Mentor with genuine range — preparing Primary 5 students for PSLE, supporting Sec 4 students through O-Level English, guiding IB students through Lang & Lit, and challenging JC students on GP and Literature essays.
We're looking for an English educator who takes both the subject and the student seriously — someone who holds high academic standards, makes English accessible at any level, and treats mentorship as a craft worth getting better at.
What your week looks likeYou'll work 1:1 in students' homes across Singapore, designing sessions around how each student learns. A dedicated operations team handles student matching, scheduling, and parent administration. Your role is to teach; ours is to make sure nothing else gets in the way.
On a typical week, you'll:Run English sessions across levels — from Primary comprehension and creative writing to JC General Paper essays and unseen analysisPlan lessons grounded in the actual syllabus your student is sitting (PSLE, MOE Sec, Cambridge, IB, A-Level)Track progress thoughtfully and tell parents the truth — kindly, clearly, and on timeParticipate in curriculum and pedagogy training, including mental-health awareness for educators working closely with studentsSupport students in building both confidence and curiosity in English — as an academic subject and as a way of expressing themselves

A note on fitWe don't only hire English majors — but English mastery is non-negotiable. If you've studied psychology, counselling, education or special needs alongside a serious love of language and literature, and you can move confidently between a P5 comprehension passage and a JC GP essay, you might be exactly who we're looking for. What matters is genuine subject confidence across levels, real warmth in the room, and the kind of person who cares about the young human at the desk — not just the grade.
What you getTotal monthly compensation: SGD 5,500–6,500 (base salary + revenue share, scaling with your student roster). Most mentors reach the mid-range within 3–4 months of a full schedule, with room to grow as your roster builds.Flexible hours built around your sessions and prep — no rigid 9-to-5Medical insurance and above-average annual leaveOffice space for planning and the occasional team lunchFully subsidised pedagogy and curriculum trainingA managed student pipeline — we handle student acquisition and parent admin so your time can go to teachingA clear path toward becoming one of Singapore's most respected English mentors — across the full range of curricula
