Structured course materials and coaching provided
Commencing ASAP
Want to teach awesome students in a friendly, creative place?
Pathfinder Guitar (established 2015), one of the highest-rated private guitar schools in Melbourne (according to Google reviews, is growing and they need a motivated, independent and friendly person to help teach their expanding student-base.
Depending on your skills and experience, this could involve:
Assisting Senior Instructors to take lessons
Running lessons independently (with materials and direction provided)
Building courses and material for future lessons
In addition to this, depending on your interests and experience, there's potential to also handle:
Social Media
Administration
Marketing
Piano Teaching
Guitar repairs & maintenance
Musical equipment sales and rental
The way they run lessons is very different to most schools, so the role would involve a paid training and transition period, regardless of how experienced you are, to help you settle in.
A few of the differences:
Almost all of their lessons are run in small groups based on age and skill level
They have structured lesson plans, with plenty of flexibility for you to adapt it and deliver it your way
Many of their students attend multiple lessons per week, and everyone at least once a week, so their students tend to be a lot more motivated than average.
They pay you for the hours you're at work, so don't worry about student absences affecting your income.
Similarly, they operate 50 weeks per year, so you'll still be employed over most holidays (and when you do want a break for holidays, tours, gigs etc, they try to be as flexible as possible)
And finally, they try to innovate! If you have ideas on better ways to teach guitar, you'll be given the freedom to try them and pass them on to the rest of the team.
