What English teachers do at Indian schools
TGT English teachers cover prose, poetry, grammar, and writing skills for Classes 6-10. Class-teacher duty and weekly library / reading periods are usually attached.
PGT English teachers handle Flamingo, Vistas, and Hornbill/Snapshots (CBSE) or the ISC anthology. Speaking & listening assessments, plus creative-writing coaching for Olympiad and journalism clubs, take significant off-classroom time.
Salary bands by board (English, 5-8 years experience)
CBSE schools: ₹35,000-₹70,000/mo
ICSE schools: ₹42,000-₹85,000/mo
IB / IGCSE international schools: ₹60,000-₹1,40,000/mo
Bands reflect experienced teachers (5-8 years). Freshers usually start 25-40% below the lower bound; department heads sit 20-40% above the upper bound. English specialists in short supply command a 10-25% premium.
How to convert an English teacher interview
Prepare a poetry unpacking demo (Frost, Keats or a set-text poem the school follows). Panels weight your ability to model close-reading heavily.
Bring a rubric-graded writing sample. Show how you distinguish a Band-6 script from a Band-8 one on IB or ICSE criteria.
