Teach with us
At the moment we have a full team of regular teachers, but we sometimes need COVER TEACHERS. If you would like to be added to our cover list, please get in touch.
To work some or all of the following hours (school terms only) -
Saturday afternoons 1.00 - 5.15
Sunday mornings 9.00 - 5.00
We pay above average rates, because we want the best.
You should ideally already be fully- or part-qualified; but we are interested in potential and personality, not just qualifications. We value enthusiasm, attention to detail, and open-mindedness. You must be interested in learning a new approach, and willing to question some of your existing assumptions.
Our classes are very small (4 students max)l, and private lessons are a big part of our business. This is a great environment to teach in.
If you think you might want to work with us, go to the Contact page and leave a message, or call Nick for an initial chat on 01242 279599
