Role overview
We are seeking an innovative, forward-thinking IT/AI Teacher to design and deliver a cutting-edge curriculum that prepares students for a rapidly evolving digital landscape. In this role, you will go beyond teaching standard computer literacy; you will inspire students to understand, build, and ethically utilize Artificial Intelligence and machine learning.
Because this is a residential position, you will play an active role in our student community by undertaking hostel duties. This includes conducting evening prep classes, mentoring students during study hours, and ensuring a safe, supportive living-learning environment.
Key Responsibilities
1. Curriculum Development & Instruction (Academic)

- Hands-on Coding: Lead practical coding labs in languages relevant to modern tech (e.g., Python, SQL).
- Integrate Generative AI: Teach students how to effectively and responsibly use modern AI tools (prompt engineering, AI-assisted coding).
2. Hostel & Residential Duties (Pastoral)
- Conduct Evening Study Classes: Lead and supervise mandatory evening study sessions ("prep classes") within the hostel, assisting students with IT/AI projects, coding troubleshooting, and general academic support.
- Pastoral Care & Supervision: Maintain the safety, discipline, and well-being of residential students during assigned hostel shifts (including rotation on weekends).
- Community Mentorship: Act as a mentor and advisor to boarders, fostering a positive, structured, and collaborative living environment.
3. Student Mentorship & Ethics
- Project-Based Learning: Guide students through building real-world applications (e.g., training simple ML models, creating chatbots).
- Foster Critical Thinking: Facilitate deep-dives into the ethics of AI, discussing topics like data privacy and algorithmic bias.
Required Skills & QualificationsTechnical & Academic Competencies
- Programming Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Python (and its primary libraries) or other modern languages.
- Degree: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Data Science, AI, or a closely related field.
- Teaching Experience: Prior teaching or corporate training experience is highly valued.
Residential & Soft Skills
- Residential Suitability: Previous experience working in a boarding school, hostel environment, or youth mentorship role is highly desirable.
- Accessible Communicator: The ability to break down highly complex, abstract technical concepts into digestible concepts for learners both in the classroom and during evening study.
- Empathy & Stamina: The emotional intelligence and energy required to manage a dual academic and residential schedule.
