Job Description
We are seeking dedicated and passionate English teachers to join our team of approximately 30 teachers for the upcoming 2024/25 academic year commencing in September 2024.
As an English teacher at El Centro Británico, you will have the opportunity to teach a diverse range of students and classes, including young learners, teenagers, adults, and exam preparation courses, with an average of 15 hours of lessons per week. We provide a nurturing teaching environment and prioritize teacher growth. Our contracted hours include a weekly two-hour teacher meeting, where we explore various pedagogical areas and invite all of our teachers to participate. Additionally, our CPD programme encompasses frequent observations, peer and self-evaluations, performance appraisals, lesson planning support, conferences, and more.
As one of the largest authorized Cambridge English exam centers in the region, you will have the chance to expand your knowledge of language testing and assessment and potentially become a Cambridge Speaking Examiner, based on your experience, qualifications and the needs of the centre.
At El Centro Británico, we take pride not only in our teaching but also our facilities. We have invested significantly in ensuring that all of our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology, allowing for innovative teaching methods and approaches.
The ideal candidate would possess the ability to inspire, manage, and motivate students, work well within a team, show initiative, and have a proactive and positive attitude towards teaching, students, and colleagues. Effective and efficient communication skills, a comprehension of clients' needs and expectations, a commitment to professional development, good administrative skills, at least one year of teaching experience, and a positive inclination towards working with young learners and teenagers would be highly advantageous.
I really appreciate the support of my colleagues and management, the small class sizes and the opportunity to learn and share ideas with teachers every week and I feel I have really improved as a teacher during my time at El Centro Británico.
Santiago is a nice sized city with everything you need. There is a great vibe in the old town and the food is amazing!
