Use your love for languages to enrich young lives

PGL is a world where children achieve the impossible. Our residential adventure camps create extraordinary breakthroughs by instilling a love of adventure and the outdoors, encouraging independence, and empowering them to achieve great things in the future.

Our purpose is to enrich children's lives through the transformative power of adventure. Will you join us?

Being an EFL Teacher at PGL

Working with kids requires energy, confidence, and effort; but we guarantee it’s never, ever boring. Our EFL courses combine classroom-based English lessons, sightseeing excursions, and outdoor activities to bring learning to life! You will prepare and deliver fun, engaging lessons to our international guests, both in the classroom and outdoors, motivating them to improve their English skills.

You will receive a 3-day induction and support from an on-site Director of Studies, who will guide you through pre-written weekly or fortnightly programmes for you to deliver (A1-B2 level). You may include your own resources that meet our Can Do philosophy. Class sizes are a maximum of 15 students.

• Friendly and team-oriented
• Determined and resilient (peak periods can be challenging)
