Framework knowledge
You know the IB or HND system from the inside: the criteria, the descriptors, the common pitfalls. Examining or moderating experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Become a mentor
Teach the way you wish someone had taught you
Soch is built by mentors: IB and HND specialists who still remember what it was like to face a TOK title or a Unit 10 brief alone. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.
Who we look for
Four things every Soch mentor has
Clear explanations
You can take a hard idea and make it land for a stressed eighteen-year-old, without dumbing it down.
Integrity, in writing
You agree that we guide and give feedback, and never write submissions. Every mentor signs our academic integrity policy.
Care and reliability
You reply when you said you would, you plan around real deadlines, and you treat students as people first.
What you get
Meaningful work, on your terms
Mentoring with Soch is paid, online and flexible. It is also, we think, some of the most satisfying teaching there is: one student, one task, real progress you can see.
- Paid, flexible online work around your own schedule
- Students matched to your subjects and curriculum
- Clear expectations and a simple feedback rubric to work from
- A community of mentors who compare notes and share resources
