Pearson are currently seeking experienced, qualified teachers, who are currently teaching or have recently retired from the profession, to work as Examiners for GCSE Chinese and GCE A Level Chinese. 

Examining and moderating gives you the opportunity to apply your educational knowledge and skills to earn extra income and broaden your expertise. You will have the opportunity to interact with fellow educational professionals and develop your understanding of assessment, all the while enhancing your own teaching skills.

You will mark candidates’ responses in accordance with the pre-defined mark scheme, whilst adhering to Code of Practice and examination procedures. Most subjects will be marked onscreen using ePEN, which can be done from home. A few subjects are still marked in the traditional method, using paper scripts sent through the post. 

Each examiner will receive an agreed allocation of scripts. The marking period is between May - July. The training required to mark as an examiner will take place between May and June.

Although the fees differ across units, based on complexity to mark as well as time and effort required, an average payment to an Assessment Associate will be in the region of £500-£800. 

We also pay a fee for attendance at the training/standardisation meeting, be it face to face or online, and a teacher release fee to your centre if appropriate.

Experience/qualifications needed:

You will have one academic year's worth of teaching experience:

a. within the last 8 years
b. within the relevant subject and level
c. since qualifying as a teacher
