Online MUSIC teacher

About Educify Educify is a fast-growing EdTech company on a mission to make quality education accessible, affordable, and personalized for learners everywhere. We connect skilled, passionate educators with students across Canada, the United States, and beyond — and we're expanding our team of online tutors to meet growing demand.

The Opportunity

We're hiring an Online Music Tutor to deliver inspiring, one-on-one and small-group music lessons to students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you specialize in piano, guitar, violin, vocals, drums, music theory, or any other discipline — if you have the ability to bring music to life for a student and make the learning journey as enjoyable as the music itself, we want you on our team. This is more than a tutoring role. Music has the power to build confidence, discipline, creativity, and emotional intelligence in young learners — and you'll be at the heart of that transformation.

Key Responsibilities

Deliver structured, engaging online music tutoring sessions tailored to each student's instrument, skill level, age, and personal musical goals

Assess each student's current abilities and design progressive lesson plans covering technique, music theory, ear training, sight-reading, and performance

Teach foundational skills to beginners while also challenging intermediate learners to refine their technique and expand their repertoire

Adapt your teaching style and lesson content to suit students of different ages — from young children discovering music for the first time to teenagers preparing for exams or performances

Use Educify's virtual learning tools alongside music-specific resources to deliver high-quality, interactive sessions

Monitor and document each student's musical progress and provide consistent, constructive feedback after every lesson

Foster a creative, patient, and encouraging environment that keeps students excited about learning and growing as musicians

Communicate regularly with parents and guardians on student development, practice recommendations, and upcoming milestones

A warm, encouraging, and adaptable teaching style that keeps students motivated through both the challenges and the breakthroughs
