Job Description
Physics Teacher – IGCSE & A Level
Before anything else, spend a little time understanding us.
Go through our website (www.theaalam.in) and social media (ID: theaalamfreedomschool)
If this feels like a place you would want to be in, write to us at
with your resume and a short note on why Aalam interests you.
About the role
This is a full-time role based out of our Coimbatore campus (Kalapatti).
A little about Aalam
We are not a typical school, and we don’t try to be one. A lot of what we do comes from trying to understand children better, and questioning how learning actually happens. Montessori, Krishnamurti, John Holt… these ideas influence us, but we are still figuring things out in our own way. So things may feel slower here. Less rushed. Sometimes unclear. But there is space to try, fail, rethink.
What the work looks like
You will be working with students between 13 and 17, across IGCSE and A Level.
At a very simple level:
You will teach Physics
You will plan your classes
You will handle lab work and safety
But beyond that:
You will be dealing with very different kinds of learners in the same room
You will need to find ways to make the subject make sense to them
You will need patience… more than strategies sometimes
We don’t expect you to “cover portions fast”.
We would rather you help a child actually understand something, even if it takes time.
You will also:
keep track of student progress
speak with parents when needed
work with other teachers
be part of school events and day-to-day life
What we are hoping for
A strong grounding in Physics (Master’s or equivalent is ideal)
Some experience working with children in this age group
The ability to explain things simply
The willingness to stay with a child even when they are not “getting it”
And importantly,
You should be okay not having all answers
You should be okay learning along the way
It helps if
You have worked in an alternative or non-conventional school
You are open to changing how you have taught before
Compensation
We try to be fair. For the right person, we can always talk.
