MS Social Studies Teacher (IMYC)

Join the team at the Hobby School in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We're looking for a keen, enthusiastic middle-school teacher to teach social studies in an English Language Learning (ELL) environment.

The position would involve teaching social studies classes (and other IMYC subjects as may be required) to students in grades 6 to 9 (ages 12 to 15) as part of the International Middle Years Curriculum. We look for candidates who have demonstrated the sorts of skills required for success in an international middle school: initiative, ability to work with children, flexibility, openness to new cultures, and experience with classroom teaching. We will consider your application holistically.

The school encourages all its teachers to run an extracurricular activity/club of their choice.

The middle school teacher position is a challenging, yet very rewarding task as the teacher will have to work with EFL (English as a Foreign Language) kids. Class preparation is required, as well as giving and checking homework.

Because of the nature of the IMYC program followed by Hobby School, the teacher will work closely with other middle school teachers (international and local alike), and good teamwork skills and creativity are therefore of paramount importance.

He or she will also participate in extracurricular activities at the school, such as preparation for an annual English Olympiad, ABC festival, Spring and Drama festivals, different quizzes, and competitions.
