Job Description 

About the Job: 

We are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated teachers, whether you are newly qualified or a teacher with some experience, who want to join a school where they will develop and gain experience.

IH Brno is well-known locally, and in the International House network, for its teacher development program. Our teachers have mentors, weekly teacher development sessions, personal development plans and regular peer observations.

You will have around 15+ teaching hours of English classes per week (one teaching hour is 45 minutes) across a variety of contexts and levels both at school and off-site - although Brno is quite compact and travel times are generally quite low whether from school or home. There is also 2 - 4 hours of development and other duties, such as staff meetings. There is no teaching at the weekend.

Contract for Work: September 2024-June 2025
Our contract for work is for 10 months. However, the agreement can be extended beyond that with the right candidates. 

 

"I arrived in Brno January 2023. I've learnt a lot in these two months. The teacher development sessions on Fridays are a great opportunity to improve our teaching skills. The team is welcoming and has helped me not only concerning pedagogical issues but also with general situations, such as finding a flat to rent, opening a bank account, etc. At ILC Brno, I got the chance to teach different levels and ages and I have autonomy to plan my lessons and use my creativity to the fullest. Here, your experience and effort are acknowledged: I feel honored that I was invited to deliver some workshops to my colleagues in ILC Brno and ILC Torún. I highly recommend any teacher who wants to grow professionally and personally to join our team".
