The Course

Our curriculum aims to increase students’ confidence in spoken English as well as help them develop key life-skills. The programme helps students build a better future for themselves by encouraging development of skills such as leadership, public speaking and teamwork which they can use not only during the camp, but also back at home in their daily lives. As part of the programme students will work on their own speech which will be performed at the end of their stay in front of the rest of the students along with a prize giving ceremony.

English Teacher Role

We want teachers with a background in English based education who can deliver engaging, focused classes, to suit international students aged 8-18. We provide lesson plans but we expect each teacher to execute them with skill and flair, motivating the students to be the best they can. We run camps and therefore, although they are educational, we want both our teacher and our students to have a lot of fun together too!
