About the Teaching Position

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School in Asokoro, Abuja, is looking for an English Language Teacher to support students’ academic development and contribute to the school’s teaching team.

The position calls for an educator with strong English Language knowledge who can communicate clearly, manage a classroom effectively and create lessons that encourage students to participate in their learning.

The school is described as a co-educational institution offering day and boarding education. The vacancy also places emphasis on academic standards, character development, teamwork and continued professional development.

The successful candidate should be able to combine strong subject knowledge with practical teaching skills.

The vacancy highlights the following qualities:

• Strong knowledge of English Language and a genuine interest in teaching.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Good classroom-management abilities.
• The ability to deliver engaging, student-centred lessons.
• Familiarity with modern teaching strategies and digital learning tools.
• Commitment to academic excellence and students’ character development.

• TRCN certification — mandatory.

The vacancy does not state a specific number of years of teaching experience. Applicants should therefore focus on demonstrating their relevant qualifications, teaching ability and classroom skills.

What the Role Involves

An English Language teacher plays an important role in helping students develop communication, reading, writing and comprehension skills.

For applicants, this means it can be useful to show experience working collaboratively with colleagues, supporting students and participating in wider school activities where applicable.

Teaching experience should not be presented only as a list of subjects taught. Where relevant, explain how you supported student learning, prepared lessons, assessed progress or contributed to the wider school environment.
