Job Description

🧑‍🏫THE POSITION🧑‍🏫

The position involves teaching general English and exam preparation classes for higher-level students who are often working towards the Cambridge B2, C1 or C2 exams. 

The role-holder will be required to work a maximum of 24 contact (in-class) hours per week, with an additional 3 hours on average per week dedicated to training, development and admin. As an EFL teacher (teens and adults), you will plan and deliver effective and engaging English lessons to the students of the school. As some of the lessons will also be held in local state schools, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone who may want to gain experience in mainstream education too. 

Although this position is starting ASAP, we offer a permanent contract, where you would be working between the months of September and June each year. 

As some of the teaching involves external (off-site) courses, this role does require a certain amount of flexibility and cultural sensitivity, so empathy, kindness, and the ability to deal with changes and diversity in a positive manner are all essential for this role. Where offsite courses are not within reasonable walking distance of the school, teachers are accompanied from, and back to, school by car. Travelling time is counted as working hours.

About the school and city

Established in 1964, the school joined the IH network in 2015. It is now run by Marco and Patrizia, a husband and wife duo, who took the school over from the founder, Patrizia’s mother Christa, some years ago. They continue to invest in their team’s professional development and very much adhere to the IH value of lifelong learning.


The school is in the heart of the city, just a stone’s throw from the beach, with breathtaking views of Mount Etna across the Strait of Messina.
With regard to English language courses, they offer a wide range of courses to learners aged from 3 through to adults and ranging in level from Beginner to C2 (Proficiency). They also teach History, Biology and Maths in English in local state schools.
