Details of Position

Full-time 34 hour weekly contract of which 25 hours are class hours.

This is an ideal role for a CELTA-trained (or equivalent) teacher who has already gained experience in the classroom and is seeking a more challenging role and personal development. Classes are primarily for adults at all CEFR levels, with potentially some YL teaching. They range from 1-2-1 to groups of up to 7 students and may be online or F2F. Experience with Cambridge exam prep is vital as this makes up a large part of the student base. Knowledge and enthusiasm for YL teaching would be desirable. Classes are often taught in collaboration so good communication skills are a must.

Typical schedules include afternoon classes from around 16:00 as well as some grouped morning classes to fulfil and complete the contracted hours.
Many morning hours are done remotely with online classes. (Laptop provided by academy)
