Role Overview
Masterminds Education is seeking an exceptional Mathematics Lead Teacher & Group Advocate to support students across the primary and lower secondary years in a small, boutique learning environment.
The program currently serves a small student body of approximately 30 students, organized into cohorts of around 5–6 children. This allows teachers to deliver highly individualized instruction, closely monitor progress, and build meaningful relationships with each student.
This role is ideal for a strong Mathematics teacher who is also capable of working with students across multiple areas of learning. The role is intentionally not designed as a narrowly single-subject Mathematics position.
The successful candidate will bring strong Mathematics expertise while also serving as a Group Advocate for one or more student groups, teaching selected additional subjects aligned with their strengths and supporting interdisciplinary learning.
The main teaching focus will be Mathematics across upper primary and lower secondary groups, with responsibility for ensuring that students build strong conceptual understanding, fluency, reasoning, problem-solving ability, and confidence. The role also includes helping guide the quality, consistency, and development of Mathematics teaching across relevant groups.
The successful candidate should be able to bring blended and evidence-informed approaches to Mathematics teaching, drawing where appropriate on techniques such as Singapore Math, visual models, manipulatives, structured reasoning, inquiry, and real-world application.
Masterminds provides a premium educational environment with individualized learning pathways, high academic expectations, and a strong focus on whole-child development. The role requires a teacher who is academically strong, highly organized, reflective, collaborative, and comfortable working in an innovative and highly personalized learning model.
