• a strong communicator and relate effectively to young people
• applications from experienced teachers, as well as those newer to the profession are welcome; we will be seeking to appoint a teacher with the greatest ability, enthusiasm and commitment to our ethos in the team
• an experience of teaching ESOL or English as an Additional Language would be beneficial but not essential

What we offer:

• smaller class sizes than those in schools, allowing for a more personalised learning experience
• you'll join an experienced, energetic and collaborative team of specialists who are dedicated to transforming the experience of our learners in the English classroom
