You will serve as the head teacher and operator of this branch, with teaching being the key initial focus and future growth potential to assist in opening upcoming branches.

Your role will include:

• Managing and maintaining a clean, positive classroom environment (opening/closing as a key holder)
• Assisting with school promotion activities (e.g., social media posts, flyers, and local outreach)
• Conducting trial lessons with potential students and supporting onboarding

All curriculum and teaching materials are provided, allowing you to focus on teaching and student development.
