Nanour

Teach Modern Standard Arabic to children who'll remember the lessons.

We're recruiting tutors to deliver Nanour's curriculum to children growing up in English-speaking families around the world. Nanour launches for children aged 6 to 12. Our wider roadmap extends toward ages 6 to 14 and the broader K–12 journey.

What we're looking for

  • Native or near-native fluency in Modern Standard Arabic
  • A genuine warmth with children, especially those for whom Arabic is a heritage language rather than a first language
  • Comfort teaching live, one-to-one, on video
  • The patience to follow a structured curriculum and the judgement to adapt it to the child in front of you
  • Reliability and a steady weekly schedule
  • Comfort working across time zones — most of our families are in the UK, but we serve English-speaking families internationally

What we're not

Nanour's launch curriculum is language-first: reading, writing, comprehension, and academic foundations in Modern Standard Arabic. Quran, Tajweed and Hifz aren't part of what we teach at launch. If religious instruction is the work you want to do, this probably isn't the right fit, and we say that with respect for the people who do it well elsewhere.

We're also not a marketplace. You won't be expected to market yourself, set your own rates, or chase clients. Our team handles family relationships and tutor placement. You teach.

How we work

  • Scripted lessons. Every lesson in the Nanour curriculum is fully written. You're not building from scratch each week.
  • Pre-lesson briefings. Around 24 hours before each lesson, our internal tools generate a short briefing for you: where the child is, what's coming up, what to watch for. It's a working tool, not a script — but it removes the prep burden of “what was the last lesson again?”
  • AI-drafted post-lesson summaries. After each lesson, you write structured notes. Our system drafts a parent-facing summary from those notes. You review and approve before it's sent. The summary doesn't go out until you say so.
  • A real curriculum team. You'll have someone to talk to about a tricky child, a fiddly unit, or a parent message you're not sure how to answer.

Pay and commitment

Competitive rates, paid monthly. We'll discuss specifics at interview.

We're building Nanour around tutors who can give us between 5 and 20 hours a week, in regular weekly slots, across the academic year. We're not looking for occasional one-offs.

Safeguarding and screening

Nanour is UK-based, and our safeguarding processes are built around UK standards for children learning one-to-one online. All tutors are screened before teaching with Nanour. We'll walk you through what that involves at interview.

Before you begin

  • About 15 minutes. Three short steps — About you, your teaching background, and a short introduction video.
  • You can leave and come back. Your progress is saved automatically as you complete each step.
  • You'll need a profile photo (JPG or PNG, under 2MB) and a short intro video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo or Loom.
  • You must be 18 or over and have the right to work in your country of residence.
  • A teaching certificate helps (TAFL, CCTAFL or equivalent) but isn't required — we value the right mix of language proficiency, teaching experience, and warmth with children.

Our team reviews every application and will get back to you within a few days. If we'd like to take things further, we'll email you to set up a brief conversation.
