- Educated in the British system
- Degree in English, linguistics, education, or a related field
- Experience in education or EdTech (teaching, curriculum development, educational publishing, etc.)
- Excellent command of British spelling, grammar, and punctuation
- Strong proofreading and light editing skills
- Ability to spot wording that may confuse young ESL learners and suggest clearer alternatives
- Comfortable working directly in Google Docs / Slides
Scope:
- Review and proofread batches of lesson materials
- Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling
- Lightly edit sentences to improve clarity, flow, and learner comprehension
- Flag anything that may be unclear or inappropriate for young learners
