About the Role

Dublin Maths is looking for an exceptional maths tutor to take complete ownership of our tutor recruitment and early-stage quality-assurance process.

This is not a traditional recruitment or HR position. It is a senior maths-tutoring role for someone who understands what excellent tutoring looks like and can confidently determine whether another tutor meets our standards.

You will oversee every stage of the tutor application journey: reviewing applications, conducting screening calls, evaluating aptitude tests, running technical teaching assessments, coordinating onboarding and monitoring each successful tutor during their first few weeks.

Your responsibility is simple: ensure that we hire enough outstanding tutors to meet student demand without compromising on quality.

You will not be required to teach students yourself, and you will not be responsible for the ongoing management of established tutors.

Key Responsibilities

Tutor Recruitment

You will own the tutor application process from beginning to end. This includes:

• Reviewing tutor applications and deciding who should progress
• Conducting initial screening calls
• Assessing candidates’ communication, professionalism, experience and suitability
• Evaluating completed maths aptitude assessments
• Running live technical and teaching assessments
• Providing clear, evidence-based candidate evaluations
• Making confident decisions on whether candidates should progress
• Communicating professionally with applicants throughout the process
• Keeping recruitment records accurate and up to date
• Ensuring suitable candidates move through the process promptly

Most applications will already be generated through our existing recruitment channels. However, you may occasionally be expected to proactively source and approach suitable maths tutors when additional recruitment is required.

There are no arbitrary call quotas or recruitment-volume targets. The priority is to manage the work in front of you efficiently while maintaining a consistently high standard.

Technical Assessments

You will assess whether applicants have the mathematical knowledge, communication skills and tutoring ability required to represent Dublin Maths.

This includes evaluating:

• Mathematical accuracy
• Ability to explain concepts clearly
• Ability to simplify difficult topics
• Structure and pacing
• Questioning and student engagement
• Online whiteboard technique
• Confidence and professionalism
• Ability to identify and correct student misunderstandings
• Suitability for one-to-one online tutoring

The successful candidate must personally be capable of passing the same maths aptitude test and technical assessment used to evaluate our tutors.

Tutor Onboarding

Once a tutor has successfully completed the application process, you will coordinate their onboarding into Dublin Maths.

Our onboarding and training materials are delivered digitally. You will be responsible for:

• Enrolling successful candidates in the correct onboarding process
• Ensuring all required training is completed
• Confirming that tutors understand our systems, standards and expectations
• Reviewing required onboarding tasks and assessments
• Identifying any gaps before a tutor begins teaching
• Ensuring tutors are properly prepared for their first student

You will not need to deliver lengthy live training programmes. Your role is to ensure that the existing digital training process is completed properly and understood.

Early-Stage Quality Assurance

You will closely monitor new tutors during their first few weeks to ensure that the standard demonstrated during recruitment carries into their real classes.

This may include:

• Reviewing recorded classes
• Assessing mathematical accuracy
• Reviewing explanations and teaching structure
• Checking online whiteboard quality
• Monitoring pacing, questioning and student engagement
• Reviewing tutor notes and required class documentation
• Checking professionalism, reliability and preparedness
• Considering student or parent feedback where relevant
• Setting clear improvement actions where required
• Conducting follow-up reviews
• Deciding whether a tutor has successfully passed the initial QA period
• Recommending that a tutor be removed where standards are not met

You must be comfortable delivering direct, constructive feedback and making difficult decisions when necessary.

Once a tutor has successfully completed the early-stage QA process, their ongoing management will sit elsewhere within the company.

Additional Maths Quality Work

Recruitment and early-stage tutor quality will always be the priority.

When capacity allows, you may occasionally assist with light maths-content quality work, such as:

• Reviewing questions and worked solutions
• Checking lesson plans or training resources
• Identifying mathematical errors or unclear explanations
• Providing feedback on books or video-course materials
• Helping improve tutor assessment and onboarding resources

This will be a small secondary part of the position rather than a core daily responsibility.

Essential Requirements

The successful applicant must have:

• At least three years of substantial maths tutoring experience
• Significant experience delivering one-to-one or small-group maths tuition
• Excellent mathematical knowledge
• The ability to pass our tutor aptitude and technical assessments
• A strong understanding of what excellent maths tutoring looks like
• The confidence to assess other tutors objectively
• Excellent communication and people skills
• The ability to make clear and sometimes difficult decisions
• Strong attention to detail
• High professional standards
• The ability to give specific, constructive and actionable feedback
• The discipline to manage a fully remote workload independently
• Confidence using online teaching and communication platforms
• A genuine interest in maintaining and improving teaching quality

Direct tutoring experience is particularly important. Classroom-teaching experience may be valuable, but it is not a substitute for the required tutoring experience.

Qualifications

No formal teaching qualification or maths degree is required.

We care more about demonstrated mathematical ability, substantial tutoring experience, communication skills and professional judgement than formal credentials.

Every candidate will be assessed directly through our aptitude and technical-assessment process.

Who This Role Would Suit

This role would suit an experienced maths tutor who:

• Can recognise the difference between someone who knows maths and someone who can genuinely teach it
• Enjoys speaking with, evaluating and developing other tutors
• Has strong instincts about people while still making evidence-based decisions
• Is comfortable maintaining high standards
• Can be supportive without avoiding difficult feedback
• Wants to move away from a full personal teaching schedule
• Would enjoy owning an important business function
• Values autonomy and flexible remote work
• Takes pride in ensuring students receive consistently excellent tuition

What This Role Is Not

This is not:

• A general HR position
• A recruitment-sales role
• A high-volume call-centre role
• A student-teaching position
• An ongoing tutor-management position
• A role with responsibility for managing a team at present
• A role for someone who understands recruitment but cannot independently assess advanced maths teaching

Maths-tutoring expertise is the foundation of the position.

Working Arrangements

This is a permanent, full-time and fully remote position.

You may be based anywhere and will have significant flexibility to choose your working days and organise your own hours. However, you must remain responsive, keep candidates moving through the process and accommodate scheduled screening calls and technical assessments where reasonably required.

The role is measured by the quality and completion of the work rather than rigid daily activity targets.

How Success Will Be Measured

The principal measure of success will be whether Dublin Maths has enough high-quality tutors to meet student demand.

Success will also mean:

• Strong candidates move efficiently through the application process
• Unsuitable candidates are identified before reaching students
• Recruitment standards remain consistent
• Tutors begin teaching properly prepared
• Quality issues are identified during tutors’ opening weeks
• New tutors receive useful, specific feedback
• Tutors who do not meet the required standard are handled decisively
• The recruitment, onboarding and QA process remains organised and reliable

Application Process

Candidates will progress through the following stages:

• Online application form
• Initial screening call
• Dublin Maths tutor aptitude assessment
• Live technical and teaching assessment
• Successful completion of the tutor onboarding process
• Final onboarding and role-specific training with the Dublin Maths team

Applicants should only apply if they are confident in both their mathematical ability and their ability to assess the teaching quality of other experienced tutors.
