About EDClass

EDClass is an accredited online education provider by the Department for Education (DfE), delivering high-quality, innovative alternative provision across the UK. We work extensively with schools, multi-academy trusts, and local authorities to provide personalised learning pathways for students accessing Section 19 provision, Education Other Than At School (EOTAS), medical needs support, and school inclusion programs. In the near future, we will also be extending our delivery to Electively Home Educated (EHE) students.

At EDClass, we put safeguarding students at the heart of everything we do. Every lesson, interaction, and platform protocol is built to ensure a secure, transparent, and supportive learning environment for every young person.

We believe in fostering an engaging and compassionate learning environment that empowers learners to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to providing a quality education that aims to reintegrate learners back into school or support them toward their positive destination.

We are also a person-centred employer who is fully flexible to the needs of our commissioning schools and educational establishments. Just as we invest in our learners, we believe in and invest in our people. While this role is offered remotely, we also have an established team of full-time and part-time teachers based on-site at our offices in Dinnington, offering full pay and flexible working arrangements—please enquire if this is an option you would like to explore.

As an accredited provider now offering GCSEs and comprehensive qualifications to a wide range of learners, we are expanding our teaching team. We are seeking qualified, passionate, and dedicated Online Science Teachers (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) to match the growing demand across our live academic delivery.

Delivery Model and Platform Structure

Lessons are 1 hour long in live, timetabled sessions structured across our specialised virtual learning environments:

• EDLive: Small-group, highly focused live timetabled lessons (1:1 to 1:5 ratio) centred on structured scientific topics, curriculum objectives, practical inquiry concepts, and core subject teaching.
• EDTeach: Targeted intervention sessions delivered on a 1:1 or up to 1:3 ratio, designed around key focus points to directly diagnose and address specific gaps in scientific knowledge, data handling, and theory.
• EDClass Plus: Live, responsive teaching assistance where teachers support students as they work through exam questions, interactive e-learning modules, virtual practicals, and structured pathways, including taking students into live breakout rooms for focused, real-time intervention and scaffolding.

As an Online Maths Teacher at EDClass, you will deliver structured, high-impact sessions across Key Stage 3, GCSE (AQA, Edexcel, OCR), and Functional Skills (Levels 1 and 2).
Our platform supports a diverse cohort of learners, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, or students facing barriers to mainstream education.

• Digital Learning and Content: Assist learners as they navigate e-learning pathways, past paper questions, and digital exercises; plan and record engaging explanations for our digital library.
• Assessment and Feedback: Provide regular, constructive feedback (both verbally and written) and mark student work accurately to track academic progression.
• Inclusive Pedagogy: Apply calm, encouraging, and supportive approaches to engage vulnerable, disaffected, or anxious learners.
• Safeguarding and Reporting: Uphold rigorous safeguarding standards at all times, monitoring student wellbeing and providing detailed feedback to partner schools regarding attendance, engagement, and behaviour.
• Additional Opportunities: Additional paid hours may be available for marking, exam invigilation, parental meetings, and pastoral mentoring.
