Remote jobs for teachers who want to leave the classroom

Teachers moving into remote work most often go into online tutoring, instructional design, corporate training and customer onboarding, because these use the same skills: explaining things clearly and planning lessons. Remotejobify lists remote jobs like these open to people in the US and the UK, from companies’ own job boards, free. Match me can read your teaching CV and pick the jobs that fit, with one line on why each one does.

Four places teachers go

• Online tutoring: the closest to teaching, one to one or in small groups.
• Instructional design: planning courses and training for companies or schools. Lesson planning is the core of it.
• Training: teaching staff or customers how to do things, often by video call.
• Customer onboarding: helping new customers learn a product, which is teaching by another name.

Put your teaching in their words

• Planning a scheme of work becomes designing a course.
• Parents’ evenings become talking to stakeholders.
• Tracking pupils’ progress becomes using data to improve results.
• Teaching a mixed class becomes explaining things to people at every level.
