Qualified and experienced EAP teachers, ideally with experience in EAP for STEMM or STEMM pre-sessional teaching. You should be competent and confident in using core M365 applications, with experience in teaching using OneNote, Class Notebooks, and Forms. You will also be willing and able to engage with complex materials from a range of STEMM disciplines.
