‍

Household dynamic:

• This open-minded, curious, and results-oriented family from California is currently living in Bali for three years, and they are eagerly looking for a private educator to support their children's development and educational milestones. Their four children are enrolled full-time at an international school in Bali, which has many positive attributes. While the school covers all core subjects—reading, math, science, etc.—and is conducted in English, it is far less academically rigorous than their school in California. The oldest three children, ages 7, 9, and 12 years old, want and need additional support in math and literacy to ensure a smooth transition back into their California school in 2028. The primary role of the private educator will be to provide one-on-one tutoring in math and literacy (reading and writing) for the family’s three daughters. Currently, the children have been benefiting from daily in-person tutoring with a teacher at home, which has boosted their happiness and confidence. The family is committed to making their current school experience work by providing additional daily tutoring so that their children build a strong foundation in math and literacy. This approach will keep their future options open as they grow and explore the world. The family also has an outdoor ginger cat.
• Both parents work from home in a dedicated office space and are very engaged in the children’s learning journey. They will be actively collaborating in setting curriculum goals and development. The family setup in Bali is both adventurous and serene. They are set in a gated, fully-serviced community of a dozen homes along the river, a short walk from the children’s school. It is a quiet, lush, pedestrian, and hugely convenient neighborhood with cafes and small, healthy restaurants. The children are thriving, and the family feels a sense of joy in living in beautiful and spiritual Bali. The household operates as a team; everyone is expected to work hard and contribute. They value being solution-oriented; setbacks present an opportunity to learn and improve. The family employs two full-time staff members for cleaning and house management, and a nanny to help care for the children and cook for the family. Their family motto is “never give up." Coming from the action-packed environment of California, they value both sides of the coin: enjoying life and being aware and engaged in their daily experiences, and understanding that hard work and getting the job done to the absolute best of their ability truly matters. They treat their household members like family and take each role on their team seriously. The family regularly travels within Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a calm, driven, experienced, and passionate private educator who is excited to join a close-knit, adventurous team in the heart of Bali. The ideal candidate is self-starting, motivated, optimistic, ambitious, and exceptionally organized. The family values this role tremendously and is genuinely excited for their children to flourish with the right educator. They believe teaching is a gift, and their children truly love to learn. The private educator will foster deep, meaningful learning while also building strong, trusting relationships with the children. This person will strengthen academic skills while also becoming an important and positive presence in their daily lives.
• Curriculum development and thoughtful lesson planning are central to this role. The private educator must be a confident leader who is adaptable and skilled at tailoring instruction to different learning styles and able to pivot when something is not working. The family is seeking someone who can build rigorous and cohesive math and literacy lessons. This role calls for someone with an ownership mindset. The ideal candidate approaches the position with initiative, accountability, and pride in their work. They educate as though the students are their own children; they are invested, proactive, and deeply committed. The family is seeking someone autonomous who can take the lead and is energized by the opportunity to expand young minds and introduce new concepts, ideas, and opportunities for growth.
• The right educator will also be excited about living in the tropics, open to new ideas, and able to accept changes in the plan and the weather. Bali is incredibly safe and peaceful, yet beautifully untamed in the most magical way - dramatic tropical rainstorms, colorful birds, sacred ceremonies, and frogs hopping along jungle paths. A spirit of adventure, resilience, and openness to new experiences is important.
• The private educator will design and deliver individualized, high-quality instruction in math and literacy (reading and writing) for three elementary-aged children, supplementing their full-time schooling and ensuring alignment with higher academic standards. The candidate will select, develop, and continuously refine curricula in partnership with the parents to meet US elementary and middle school standards. The educator will prepare thoughtful lesson plans and materials, evaluate the children’s learning and experiences at school, and be able to integrate that into the curriculum as needed. Instruction should be tailored to each child’s unique learning style, academic goals, and natural interests. The candidate will thoughtfully execute daily 1:1 lesson plans that balance high academic standards with curiosity and engagement. The educator will establish clear learning goals and measurable outcomes, build a strong academic foundation, and hold bi-weekly touch-bases with parents to review data and refine direction, while independently leading day-to-day lesson execution.
• While not a requirement, the family would love to work with a candidate who has experience working as a private educator, experience working/living in / spending time in other countries, particularly developing countries, and can travel with the family throughout the year

‍

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5+ years of full-time teaching experience
• Bachelor's degree
• Proven ability to build and execute cohesive math and literacy lessons for American elementary and middle school students
• Comfortable with curriculum development and teaching toward measurable learning goals.
• Valid passport
• Physically able to keep up with the children and navigate Bali’s uneven terrain and tropical climate
