Applications are invited from teachers or university students training to be teachers who are nearing the end of their course to spend one year in a British Independent School as an Assistant Teacher.
Arrangements
Objectives: To provide teachers with the opportunity to gain experience of the British educational system, to understand something of the British way of life and to gain a greater command of English. Teachers of the following subjects are most easily placed: Maths, Sciences, Information Technology, Design and Technology, Art , Music, Physical Education and Sport, Junior Classes and possibly also French, German, Spanish or History and Geography.
Each year there are a very few vacancies for teachers of English who generally assist with teaching the language to students from overseas, but these teachers should normally offer at least one other subject.
Most vacancies are for secondary teachers (pupils aged 11-18) but some vacancies do exist also for teaching younger pupils (aged 7 - 13 and occasionally for kindergarten).
