Come Teach English to Children and Make a Difference for a Lifetime!
We are helping meet the burgeoning need for children to learn English in Tunisia. Parents in Tunisia realize that if they want their children to have access to the very best opportunities for higher education and employment in the 21st century, they need to learn English. We offer a preschool program for children ages 1½-5 and after-school clubs for children ages 3-14. We also offers intensive English summer camps.
We are looking for highly energetic English teachers with a passion for teaching children. Our programs begin with an English immersion preschool for children ages 18 months through 5 years. For children ages 3-14 we teach English through after-school clubs using fun, engaging activities such as sports, games, music, art, and drama. Behind every activity is a language acquisition curriculum based on best practice in immersion education.
Our English teachers are responsible for every aspect of the teaching process: lesson planning, preparation, implementation, and assessment. Although we have some off-the-shelf curriculum, we develop most of our curriculum ourselves. A full-time teaching load consists of 20 contact hours per week.
Why You Should Apply for this Opportunity:
We are teaching English to children during an exciting and important time in Tunisia's history. Our teachers will have an opportunity to address the compelling need parents feel for their children to learn English as Tunisia rebuilds its economy and competes in the global marketplace. Our teachers have an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of our staff, children, and families. As we live out our values in a tight-knit community we play a vital role in seeing lives transformed forever.
Qualifications:
1) Bachelor’s degree required. A degree in elementary education, early childhood or ESL/EFL is helpful, but not necessary. Training or background in working with children is highly desirable. Any sort of teaching experience is greatly valued.
2) Passion for, and/or experience working with small children (e.g. preschool, daycare, kindergarten, elementary school, summer camps, Sunday school) is important.
3) Lots of energy and enthusiasm is necessary.
4) Native English speaker. No foreign language is required.
