The School

At Beyond we understand teachers are the most valuable asset to a school and are key in delivering the high-quality education that we have become known for. We are therefore looking for passionate, dedicated and reliable teachers with a positive attitude to join our ever-growing team. As an education start-up, there are not only plenty of opportunities for our teachers to gain valuable work experience, but there is also a real chance for career progression at Beyond.

We teach students of all ages, ranging from four-year-olds to adults and what we teach depends on the age and level of the student. All our English language courses, however, are comprehensive and cover the four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking. As a registered Trinity College London test centre, many of our students will also have the opportunity to gain internationally recognised qualifications to evidence their English language ability. 

At all levels, our class sizes are capped at 8 students a class, which allows teachers to focus on each individual student's learning needs, and to deliver higher-quality teaching.
