Johannesburg, South Africa HyperionDev Full time

**ABOUT US**

HyperionDev is the largest provider of software development education in Southern Africa, and one of the largest globally. Counted among the top education technology startups in EMEA with headquarters in Cape Town and London, we support learners from over 40 countries in changing into fulfilling tech careers. We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review, lowering the cost of accessing tech careers.

In 2017 we won first prize in Facebook's Innovation Challenge, with Facebook selecting us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa and financially backing us, alongside Google. In 2020, we closed one of the largest Series A fundraises in South Africa with nearly 1500 investors backing us in the biggest crowdfunding round in history for an Africa-linked startup.

We were originally launched from the University of Cambridge, and our leadership team consists of world-leading talent from companies such as Google, 2U, and Zando. We are looking for team members who are ambitious, motivated and have a track record of over-achieving and exceeding targets.

Join us at a time when we are reinventing tech education and how technology can drive higher quality education at scale for markets that have some of the most underperforming tertiary institutions and schools globally.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**

Our experts have a niche skill-set that is at the intersection of technical coding skills and teaching / mentorship abilities.

You must be passionate not just about coding or technology, but also about introducing new learners to the power and potential of programming. You must feel strongly about improving the quality of coding education, and be highly motivated to see your students succeed, knowing that your work is creating real impact.

Coding is one of the hardest skills to master and you will be part of building and growing the first on-site HyperionDev Coding Campus to equalise the tech skills gap in South Africa. Patience, extremely strong verbal and written communication skills, and strong technical knowledge of Java, Python (preferable but not necessary), and HTML/CSS/JavaScript are essential prerequisites for this role. You must have a proven track record in helping students learn how to code.

You will support our learners by guiding them on their course content and coding projects, holding group lectures, helping solve student queries, tracking attendance and progress on a daily basis. You will be part of a team building the most affordable on-site code-learning experience to remove existing barriers to accessing coding education, and teaching these skills to people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. In this role, a typical day would include some or all of the following:

- Reinforce lessons presented by teachers by reviewing material with students one-on-one or in small groups.
- Support delivery of the HyperionDev course content by helping the lecture prepare lectures and tutorial sessions
- Oversee the progress and performance of all full time students on a weekly basis and ensure lagging/struggling students are given additional attention to keep them up to speed.

- Prepare and run regular mini-tutorials for students on specific identified complex topics
- Assist the lecturer in lesson planning & schedule and provide additional research on material to be covered.
- Conduct lessons for students in the absence of the lecture and/or in case of emergencies
- Supervise students in during and in-between classes
