Summary

What we do

We are a high-touch service and platform that provides one-on-one tutoring to students from Grade 1 right through to post-grad university throughout South Africa. We also offer tutoring for students who would like to learn a language or a musical instrument recreationally.

Why Work For Us

At Teach Me 2 we believe in helping families prepare their children for life. We just have one problem: Our full-time team is constantly stretched to capacity.

We need to hire more incredible people – fast. We're super protective over our team, and so we don't want to risk hiring someone who won't fit into our company culture.

We're looking for someone who will add value to our team and who is willing to learn and grow.

Our Culture

Culture is one of the most important things for us at Teach Me 2. We're serious about the work we do and maximising the productivity each person is able to produce. We make sure we balance this out by not taking ourselves too seriously.

Don't take our word for it, here's what two of our team had to say about working at Teach Me 2:

“I have never grown so much or so quickly as I have during my time here at Teach Me 2. Being a Learning Strategist has been challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. My passion for education has been wholly fulfilled in this role, as I am able to put my knowledge to use when advising clients as to the best way forward for their child. And yet, it’s still so much more than that! I am constantly being given the opportunity to grow both personally and within the company, and I value that to no ends.

-- Ali Fourie (joined 10 months ago)

“Working at Teach Me 2 has challenged me to be more and want more for myself than I ever could have imagined. Within a short space of time, this company has become a family that sticks by each other no matter what. We strive to achieve a common purpose and we feel proud of the work we do. We have a close-up opportunity to give individuals and families the support and guidance they need to reach their goals and consistently pursue success. Teach Me 2 is a passionate company, working here is more than just a job.”

– Catherine (joined 18 months ago).
