We are a small, independent language school in the south of Italy, in the beautiful and historic city of Matera, looking for an extra teacher to join our team by November. (n.b. Due to restrictions imposed by government-funded projects, only native speakers are required).

We are looking for a teacher who has a professional approach and enthusiastic attitude, experienced with Young Learners and VYL but also versatile to be able to adapt to a variety of courses. Teachers with experience in Cambridge Exam preparation is a definite plus, but in all cases training for such will be provided.

Teaching hours are most frequently carried out at the school itself, although we do also provide an increasing courses for local schools and businesses within the city. Weekly teacher development sessions are provided and included as part of the contracted hours.
