Apply to teach with Novel

Thanks for your interest in teaching with Novel. We provide 1:1 online literacy and math tutoring for students across Canada and the US, many of them kids with learning differences.

The application takes about 10 minutes, plus a few minutes to record your answers on video. There are no trick questions. We’re looking for real examples from your experience, in your own words.

How It Works:

1. Fill in the form below – about 10 minutes: your eligibility, availability and teaching background.

2. Record your video answers – five short questions about real moments from your teaching.

3. We read every application – you’ll hear back within 3-5 business days either way.

4. Interview – if it’s a fit, we’ll invite you to a video conversation with our team.

Before You Start:

Vulnerable Sector Check – A current check, or willingness to get one before your first session.

Location – You are legally entitled to work in Canada.

Availability – Most sessions run after school, 4–7 p.m.(EST) on weekdays. Tutors who can hold those hours are matched with the most students.

Your Video Answers:

What to record – Answer the five questions in the form, about 2 minutes each. One video or five, whichever is easier.

Keep it simple – A phone or laptop camera is fine. No editing or scripts needed; we want to hear you talk about real moments.

How to share – Upload to YouTube as Unlisted, or to Google Drive with “Anyone with the link can view.”

Check your link – Open it in a private/incognito window before you submit to make sure we can see it.
