You will lead your class of international students (aged 13 - 18) through engaging lessons, and cover all phases of the writing process from idea generation to writing/revising drafts and editing.
Teach our students to understand the forces of creative language to produce original poems, scripts and short stories.
Through your experience, students will develop their love of writing and use the world around them as a source of inspiration. You will provide support, inspiration & critical evaluation to improve the quality of students' writing.
You will have your own class of students aged 13-18 years old. Classes are kept small in order to provide individual attention & create an encouraging & supportive environment for students to learn.
We provide teachers with a guide as to what each lesson should achieve, but we ask you to bring your own experience & personality to each class & create your own stimulating and challenging lesson plans.
We are looking for charismatic, inspirational individuals who are experienced in their field and who can provide a nurturing yet challenging atmosphere with individual attention & strong classroom management skills.
Positions are fully residential and all of our staff teams will be actively involved in the various events & activities that we put on for our students. We provide accommodation & all meals, and a salary.
