Description

We are currently looking for a driven, enthusiastic full time Education Manager to join Genius Premium Tuition.

This role is ideal for someone with education experience who wants to take full responsibility for student outcomes. You will take ownership of a portfolio of students, guiding them from their initial in-take assessment right through to their final results.

Here is a breakdown of what the role entails:

The Mandate

You will be primarily responsible for your students’ academic outcomes and for the team delivering those outcomes. Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Assess: Run assessment interviews with families and administer scholastic assessments to establish exactly where each student stands.
  • Design: Build a customised academic programme for each student and select the best tutors to deliver it.
  • Lead: Coach, supervise, and train your tutor team by completing lesson observations and facilitating training seminars.
  • Report: Compile written feedback reports and present them to families in person.
  • Review: Run regular progress meetings, interpret data, and adjust programmes as needed.
  • Liaise: Work closely with each student’s teachers, HODs, principals, and psychologists.
  • Teach: Continue your passion for teaching lessons and designing lesson plans

What You’ll Earn

  • R28,000 per month starting salary.
  • R30,000 - R40,000 per month based on performance outcomes.
  • Team Leaders earn R35,000 per month.

Who Suits This Role?

  • Experience: Background in education, academic administration, learner support, or programme coordination (schools, tutoring, colleges, universities, or training providers).
  • Education: A relevant degree (Education, Psychology, or a strong academic discipline). PGCE, B.Ed, Honours, or postgraduate studies are highly valued as well as strong marks achieved at a matric level.
  • Skills: Excellent written English (parents will read and act on your reports), confident presenting to parents, and comfortable holding a team to high standards.
  • Logistics: Strong organisational ability across multiple students, tutors, and timelines. Own vehicle and valid driver’s licence. Based in Johannesburg or Cape Town.

Why Join Genius Premium Tuition?

  • Structured Onboarding: Your first three months consist of a structured training programme under an experienced team leader. You will shadow live meetings and learn our systems, pedagogies, and client processes before flying solo.
  • Career Progression: We promote from within based on competence. Successful Education Leaders become Team Leaders, in fact, our entire Executive Team and every branch leader came up through this role.
  • Our Culture: We value contribution, invest heavily in development, and offer work that is genuinely demanding and meaningful.

Hours and Location

  • Location: Full-time from our Fourways, Johannesburg office. (Note: Genius operates across Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town).
  • Hours: 08:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday; 09:00 – 11:00 on Saturdays. Occasional after-hours client meetings are required.
