INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

We are looking for applicants who are committed and have a genuine interest in teaching young learners. Previous summer school experience is welcome although not essential.

Most lessons are pre-prepared and have been carefully developed to help students develop their language and 21^st Century skills. There is however some opportunity for teachers to use their own lesson plans, allowing you to be creative but not having to plan every lesson. Lessons can be repeated daily which cuts down on planning time considerably.
