Be our next Rockstar Team Member at Level Up Music School

Are you ready to embark on a thrilling adventure of teaching and mentoring aspiring young and adult guitarists in-person and online while having a blast?

If yes, then keep reading because this could be the coolest gig ever!

We're a Midtown Toronto-based school helping local and international students. And we're currently seeking multiple talented and enthusiastic Part-Time or Full-time Guitar Teachers to join our team.

Who this is NOT for

This is not for you if you're looking to fill a day or 2 and squeeze in a few hours here and there between your private students or your studies, as we're searching for someone who is looking to grow within their position and ready to take on a full time position in the near future.
This is not for you if you're just starting out. Although we do sometimes hire junior or inexperienced teachers, this particular job posting is for seasoned teachers only.
If for instance you have to google what a G13 chord is, this is probably not for you. As specified above, unfortunately, this job posting is only for advanced tutors.

We will start reviewing applications on Tuesday, August 13

Now, let's talk about the perks of this fantastic role.

First, you get to work with the most enthusiastic guitar students ever :D
There are none of the uninterested kids that waste time and are a dread to teach. All kids are here to learn.
As for the adults, they're also carefully selected to make sure we have the proper fit of students.
Plus, you'll be part of our pioneering team as we grow our school!
This means you'll be the first in line to switch to a full-time position with employee benefits, when the opportunity arises.
You will receive student retention bonuses, and assigned project completion bonuses

At Level Up Music School, we believe in having fun while becoming the best.

So, you'll get to unleash your inner amazing guitar instructor while having all the fun you could possibly imagine.
On top of your regular lessons, you'll be participating in events, workshops, concerts and ALL THAT FUN!
But don't worry, we take music seriously too, and we're on a mission to help our students become more than just guitar players – we want them to be confident, respectful, and awesome individuals.

Over the years, some of our students have become full-time musicians, travelling and gigging, and some have even become team leaders here at our school.

What qualifications do you need to rock this role?

We're looking for career-minded, passionate individuals with a standout work ethic. If you're skilled in various guitar styles and love teaching students of all ages, from budding beginners to advanced, you're a perfect fit.
Knowing how to play and teach both acoustic (fingerpicking) and electric is a MUST
Knowing how to play and teach the Bass is a MUST
Knowing how to play and teach the Ukulele is a nice to have
Unlike other job postings we've had in the past, this time around, teaching experience is a MUST. However if you need training in some areas, we'll support you and set you up for success through teacher training regardless! We live by the motto "Hire the character, train the skill".
These classes will be for all ages, so get ready to create some musical magic!
Being Fluent in English is a must. Additional languages are always welcome
Excellent communication skills, patience, and the ability to motivate and inspire students.
Openness to continuous learning and professional development. "Riviera Paradise"
