Young Learner Residential Summer School Vacancies
Now recruiting EFL Teachers

The Liverpool School of English is seeking to recruit enthusiastic and reliable EFL teachers for their Young Learner Summer Schools to be held this summer at various venues across the UK.
The General English classes will have a maximum of 15 students and students will be placed in groups on arrival according to their level of English. The lessons will be communicative and designed to develop all four skills, with a focus on speaking and listening.
The classes will be both task-based and content-based, allowing the students to personalise the topic and themes of the day and to prepare for the afternoon and weekend excursions.

Teachers will also be expected to participate in the afternoon and evening activities on a rota basis.
