Young Learners ESL Teacher

Passionate and dynamic teachers are required for a unique Spanish opportunity!

We are a private school located in Azpeitia, a small town in The Basque Country of Spain looking for a native-level English teacher. This position is fantastic for anyone wanting to make a real impact with kids and who is passionate about teaching while being in one of the most beautiful areas of Spain. The greenery, the ability to live with the locals in Spain, get immersed in the culture, and most importantly, be a role model for the students at the school makes this teaching position a very unique opportunity.

We are looking for sociable people who are dedicated to the teaching profession and who feel passionate about children and their world - people who are dynamic, involved, fun, and motivated by their work to join our friendly, supportive team in Azpeitia.

This position starts at the end of August 2023 and will run the entire academic year. We are only looking for someone who can start at the school at the end of August 2023 and who can commit to the entire school year (June-July 2024).

Responsibilities:

Teach classes to children from 1 year old to 16 years old, conduct follow-ups of students (attendance, grades, homework and test corrections, reports, etc.), fill in online forms at the end of each term, and perform other center-related tasks.

The expectation is for teachers to be flexible and to participate in all of the school's varied activities, such as storytime performing, face-painting, arts & crafts, participating in the Christmas party, and similar activities that are carried out during some weekends from time to time during the course.

If you are passionate, and dynamic and want to live in a small town with a privileged natural environment, we want you on our team!
