Job Summary
Details of Position
Move Language Ahead is currently looking for a team of teachers to collaborate with year-round. We offer flexibility, stability and the opportunity to take your teaching career in an exciting new direction.
Move Language Ahead is an institution offering, above all, top quality English language courses to children and young adults (11-18 y.o). Our client begins their path with us online before joining us in person at a school in the UK, Ireland or US during summer. We are looking for teachers who can follow these students on their MLA journey.
MLA (Move Language Ahead) is an industry leader in providing safe, educational, and cultural holidays to students from around the world. Each year thousands of students travel with MLA as part of our short-term English as a foreign language (EFL) programmes. Along with our proprietary EFL curriculum, we also provide our students with great excursions featuring some of the most popular historical and tourist destinations across the globe.
If you are interested in having the stability of a fixed timetable, guaranteed online teaching hours, a full-time position in the summer with competitive rates along with all meals and accommodation included, as well as the opportunity to gain management experience and Cambridge examination skills, please read on.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Deliver online English classes using our dedicated platform and Zoom. Use the MLA Task-Based Learning syllabus, designed in-house and unique to MLA, which comes with lesson plans to significantly reduce planning time. Teach students who are grouped by age and level (A1-C1, 11-18 y.o) with a maximum of 12 students per group in classes starting in the afternoon.
Teachers MUST BE AVAILABLE MONDAY TO FRIDAY FROM 15.30 to 20.00 CET. Unfortunately, we don’t have any part time positions available.
Class times are as follows:
15:30- 16:30
16:40- 17:40
17:50- 18:50
19:00- 20:00
Certain classes could be back-up sessions, in which teachers are required to plan lessons and must be contactable and ready to cover online lessons at short notice
Teachers are paid at the same rate for classes, backup sessions and 30min (3 x 10 mins) of break every day from Monday to Friday. Classes begin 19th February and go on until mid-June. There will be paid training from 12th February.
We follow the Italian national holiday calendar and so there will be no lessons during these periods:
28th March 2024 to 3rd April 2024 (inclusive), 25th April 2024, and 1st May 2024. The 10th and 11th June 2024 are currently non-working days with the online courses finishing June 13th 2024.
In summer, you will then join us for up to 6 weeks in person at one of 10 summer centres in the UK, Ireland or USA. Here, you will become a part of creating an unforgettable summer experience for our students as they study in person. We offer competitive rates and all meals and accommodation included. For those who are interested in delving into the world of examinations we will be training a select number of teachers as Cambridge examiners. For those who are interested in senior positions, we will offer training to become senior teachers, Assistant Directors of Studies and Directors of Studies in our summer schools.
