About Us:

SpeakUp! Learning is a growing education startup dedicated to helping non-native speakers (primarily based in China) overcome their fear of making mistakes and achieve real-world conversational fluency. We are looking for a friendly, patient, and reliable tutor to join our team and teach using our unique, student-centric methodology.

• Foster a dynamic, supportive, and safe learning environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• Language Skills: Native proficiency in English with the ability to clearly explain grammar, phonetics, and common idioms. (Bilingual proficiency is a strong asset, English MUST be your first language).

• Intercultural Competence: High empathy and the ability to understand and respond to the unique needs of non-native learners.
• Technical Requirements: A reliable high-speed internet connection, a quiet workspace, and a webcam/microphone setup.
