Governess-Governor

Full-time
Full-Time British Homeschool Educator for 8-Year-Old Girl — Dubai, Oman & Worldwide — From AED 30,000 / month - Full-time, long-term · Start ASAP
Ref: FG7065

EED is delighted to be representing an Emirati family based between Dubai and Oman, seeking an exceptional full-time homeschooling professional for their daughter, aged 8, to provide a high-end private education while travelling extensively with the family.

The family is looking for someone genuinely education-focused who can deliver a rigorous, structured homeschooling programme that keeps their daughter on track academically, with an eye to leading universities further down the line. The style is stern but kind — warm and positive day to day, but built on real academic seriousness rather than a light tutoring approach.

The schedule is flexible and built around school-hours-style structure, adapted to wherever the family is in the world, including full homeschooling while travelling. Should the family decide to return their daughter to formal schooling at any point, the successful candidate will coordinate directly with the school on curriculum and transition.

The family already has a governess and nannies in place, and staff in this household tend to stay for a long time, so this is a genuinely long-term opportunity for the right person, not a short placement.

Key Responsibilities
Delivering a rigorous, structured homeschooling programme aligned with leading universities as a long-term goal
Maintaining school-hours-style academic structure, adapted to wherever the family is in the world
Full homeschooling while travelling — no interruption to academic progress
Tracking progress against clear academic benchmarks and reporting to the parents
Coordinating directly with schools on curriculum and transition, if formal schooling is resumed
Supporting the child’s learning needs, including on a behavioural level, with a calm and structured approach
Working collaboratively with the family’s governess and nannies
Operating with complete discretion within a very private household environment (NDA in place)

Candidate Requirements
British, educated at a top UK university, with a strong academic background
Recognised teaching qualification (PGCE / QTS or equivalent) essential
Real experience delivering high-end private education
Fluent English essential; Arabic an advantage; any additional language a bonus
Experience supporting children with a range of learning needs, including on a behavioural level
Willing and able to travel extensively and full-time with the family, including homeschooling on the move
Energetic, active and positive in disposition, genuinely adaptable to changing locations and routines
Respectful, flexible, reliable and well organised
Comfortable working within a very private, discreet household (NDA in place)
Excellent, verifiable references essential
Available for an ASAP start

The Offer
Salary: from AED 30,000 per month, negotiable for the right candidate
Full-time, long-term position with a family known for retaining staff
Separate accommodation provided when working or travelling
Visas and all work-related travel covered by the family
Based between Dubai and Oman, with extensive worldwide travel
Start date: ASAP
