  • Description
    Creating an engaging and effective ESL (English as a Second Language) classroom requires a teacher who is not only proficient in English but also energetic and dynamic in their teaching approach. We are looking for an energetic ESL teacher who brings enthusiasm and vitality to the classroom, making learning a lively and enjoyable experience for students of all ages and backgrounds. This role involves more than just teaching grammar and vocabulary; it requires a passion for fostering a multicultural and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and motivated to learn.

    The chosen ESL teacher will play a crucial role in building students' confidence in using English in real-life situations. This involves encouraging participation and creating a supportive classroom atmosphere where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities. Collaboration with colleagues is also a key aspect of this role. Ultimately, we need an energetic ESL teacher who inspires a love of learning and cultural exchange, equipping students with the linguistic tools and confidence to navigate a globalized world.

    • Educators oversee three classes, each accommodating up to 24 students at most.

    • They will receive comprehensive support, including lesson plans, educational materials, and training, to facilitate students' progress to a specified proficiency level.

    • While minimal preparation time is required due to the provision of all necessary materials, it is imperative for teachers to grasp the content thoroughly before engaging with their students in the classroom.

  • Benefits
    - We provide our employees with accommodation, meals, and organize a visit to our hill country project
    - Additionally, every term, we plan social activities like quiz nights or scavenger hunts, coordinated by the senior team at SVS
