Grade 6-9 English Teacher in Mongolia

English Teacher

The English School of Mongolia is a leading British international school in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. Established in 2010, ESM offers a British-style education to Mongolian and expatriate families, with the aim that their children can easily make the transition to schools and universities in the UK and globally. At ESM we follow the English National Curriculum; ESM is also accredited by Cambridge International Examinations, and is an IB World School. We are looking for a teacher who can start in August to teach English to children in grades 6-9.

The Role:

We invite applications from all colleagues who have a relevant bachelor’s degree or higher, and who have experience teaching English to children in a secondary (or upper-primary) school setting. The successful candidate should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the English National Curriculum, be willing to teach children across the full age and ability range (including EAL students and students with native-level English proficiency) and be committed to on-going professional development. All teachers at ESM are expected to contribute to the school’s pastoral programme and to take a leading role in extra-curricular activities as in any British independent school.

The Benefits:

Benefits for teachers hired overseas include a competitive salary paid in twelve equal monthly installments, generous annual flight allowance, numerous opportunities for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), fully furnished accommodation close to the school, and a significant reduction in school fees for teachers’ children (where applicable).

At ESM, we are committed to providing a broad and inclusive educational experience to all pupils at the school without compromising on academic standards. Working at ESM provides an opportunity for teachers at different stages in their careers to develop professionally in an international setting, and to contribute to development within the local Mongolian context.

Ulaan Baatar is a modern international city with a vibrant social and cultural scene; however, the Mongolian traditional lifestyle is still easily found beyond the city. During vacations, there are numerous opportunities to explore the Mongolian countryside or travel throughout Asia. Those who come to Ulaan Baatar with an open mind take advantage of the professional opportunities and enjoyable lifestyle on offer here - the majority of our teachers choose to renew their contracts at ESM after the initial contract.
