Job Description
Teach at IH Palermo Language Centre
We are looking for a qualified English teacher ready to mentor lots of YLs and adults, go through continuous training, collaboration, regular observations and who wants to obtain further ELT qualifications. With modern premises in central Palermo, a supportive community of colleagues, and opportunities to teach general English, exam preparation, and teacher training, this is your chance to inspire students across generations.
"Palermo is an ancient city with lots to discover. People are friendly and many of them need to learn English! At the Language Centre I found great colleagues and professional development. For example I recently became a CLIL trainer with a course that the school organised for me. Working hours are mostly in the PM so normally I arrive around midday, most days we are done by 7:30 PM. There are incentives for returning teachers and higher salaries for senior teachers and DELTA trained teachers. The school has a DoS and a YL Manager, Nathan and Chiara, both are very supportive. There are two senior teachers at the moment." - Marco
