who we are

Openhouse is building a new-age learning ecosystem for children, bringing high-quality learning experiences across academics, sports and extracurriculars closer to where children live. Backed by leading investors including Accel, Matrix Partners and GSV, Openhouse has grown to 12 learning centres across Bangalore, reaching 10,000+ children through our centres and programs. We are now taking this experience beyond our centres and into the communities where families live.

Over the last three months, we have already gone live in 12+ apartments, bringing Openhouse's learning experiences directly into residential communities. This is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a significant At Apartment and At Home presence across Bangalore, making high-quality learning accessible without children having to travel across the city.

what you will do

Build how children discover Science at openhouse

We’re looking for a Science SME to join us at the start of this journey.

• Build: Work with our Acads LxD Lead to design and strengthen our Science curriculum, learning resources and pedagogy.
• Teach: Deliver 1:1 Science sessions through our At Home programme and understand children at an individual level.
• Explore: Make Science come alive through experiments, questions, observation, stories and real-world connections.
• Learn: Understand what sparks curiosity, where children struggle and how they engage with different concepts.
• Improve: Bring classroom insights back to the curriculum team and continuously improve what we build.
• Scale: Help create the Science teaching playbook and eventually mentor other Science teachers.

who we’re looking for

• 2–6 years of experience teaching Science to children aged 5–12.
• Strong conceptual understanding of school-level Science.
• A teacher who can make children question, explore and understand not just memorize.
• Strong classroom presence and ability to adapt to different learning levels.
• Curious, reflective and excited by the opportunity to build something from scratch.
• Experience with curriculum design, experiential learning or 1:1 teaching is a plus.

the opportunity

This is more than a teaching role.

You’ll be among the first members of our Academics team, helping shape how Science is taught at Openhouse—from curriculum to classroom. For the right person, this role can evolve into Science Head Teacher / Subject Lead within a few months, with ownership of the Science category as we scale. Teach. Explore. Build. Lead.
