Work for STS Language Schools

We need personnel who:

• Are either native speaking English
• comply with our teaching requirements (see below)
• have experience of youth work
• are not afraid of hard work and with a high level of stress tolerance.
• like working with people from different nationalities

General Tutor
As a local English tutor, your job is to teach the students English. The main objective of the lessons is to enable each student to become more aware of a new culture, the customs and traditions of the host country and of course the language. This is greatly enhanced by the student staying in a host family and being taught by a native teacher. You should have a minimum of two years at University, preferably working towards a B. Ed, and have some teaching experience. We also require TEFL qualified tutors to work during the summer months. You should be at least 21 years of age. There is also the opportunity to work during afternoons and evenings on activities and excursions.

Intensive Tutor
Some of our students have chosen to attend an intensive course and they have an extra 1.5-hour session per day. In this case the tutor is responsible for all teaching, including grammar and vocabulary training. The tuition is carried out in smaller groups and the tutor is given more responsibility regarding extra homework for the intensive students. The formal qualifications are the same as for a tutor and in most cases this position is combined with being a general tutor.

Senior Tutor
As a senior tutor you are responsible for implementing the academic programme and managing the teaching team. This is for all teaching course leaders, tutors, and activity leaders. You will have close contact with the course town staff who will assist you in your daily tasks. TEFL qualification or equivalent required.

All tutors are subject to police checks with the criminal record bureau.
Before you start working it is obligatory for you to attend one of our training sessions. Everyone who applies will receive information about employment during the spring. We reserve the right to keep your application form. Should you have further questions about working for STS Language Schools please contact us.
