TEENS TEACHER
We are looking for a Teens teacher, who can confidently teach groups, whether it be to prepare for a Cambridge certificate or to progress at their own rhythm.

WHO
Job candidates must have at least a C1 English level, with proof and a qualification in teaching, with face to face experience. They will enjoy working with teenagers, and being creative to plan motivating, interesting classes. Patience, humour and organisation are essential requirements as no two groups behave in the same way or have the same objectives. Either a solid knowledge of Cambridge exams from A2 to C1, or a willingness to learn and discover all the different parts of the exams and acquire strategies for skills development is necessary. Another compulsory attribute is the ability to communicate, not only with the students, but also with colleagues, with parents, with visitors to the academy, examining boards, first aid trainers and many more people connected with the academy.

WHERE
We are a medium sized academy in Segovia, Castilla y Leon, about an hour-bus-ride from Madrid (30 minutes on AVE) and its airport and connections. We have six classrooms, an office and a resources room, and an area outside where safe games can be played according to the weather and syllabus. We belong to ACLID, the regional association of Languages, and also to FECEI, the National Association for Centres Teaching Languages. The membership requirements prove that we meet all minimum pay requirements with legal pay-slips, that all our teachers are quality checked on the Delitos Sexuales Register, and that our buildings are all safe and with the correct ventilation.
Segovia is a small city, with just 13 bus routes, including a nocturnal route during the weekend. It is very easy to walk almost everywhere in the city, and there are numerous parks and green spaces, with river walks nearby and a ski resort just 30 minutes away. It is a very safe town, with regular tourist events, ferias and concerts and has diverse neighbourhoods with housing to rent.

WHY
We are recruiting because one of our teachers is relocating to another city following their partner's job appointment there. Our standards are high and good teachers are hard to find. For the year 2024-2025, we are looking to maintain the same quota of teachers, while enjoying more time and space for teacher meetings, team teaching, training sessions, more parents meetings and liaison with other academies. With the right balance of experienced, independent teachers, time can be invested in improving quality, creating new up to date materials, and planning extra-curricular events such as theatre in English. We currently have 6 full-time teachers, and 2 part-time ones as well as a long-term secretary.

The teenagers classes all have a textbook assigned to them. How closely it is followed depends on the purpose of the class whether it is to pass a specific exam in one year, or to study at a certain level, or maintain interest in and grow in confidence with English. All the text books are complimented with additional exercises, videos and games to stimulate and challenge. The aim is to cover all the material without the sensation of going through page after page of the text book. The exam classes have a skilful balancing of exam parts and content provided by the book, practice at the real exam from supplementary exam books, and sessions of techniques and motivation according to the needs of the class. Our exam candidates have a pass rate of over 90%.
Adults classes include conversation, Business English, B1, B2 and C1, Beginners and English for pleasure. Books and materials vary as do objectives and therefore planning, delivery and reviewing too.
