WHAT DOES THIS JOB INVOLVE?

The Study Skills Teacher at ISSOS will lead our course which is designed to prepare students who are about to start their final, challenging, years of high school with the vital skills they will need for future university-level study. 

Your role will be to improve students’ work habits and general academic performance and assist them in developing a range of academic skills like critical thinking, time management, essay writing, presentation skills and internet research. 

As an ISSOS teacher, you have your own class of international students aged 13-18 years old. Our classes are kept small in order to provide individual attention, personalised instruction and create an encouraging, supportive and fun environment for students to learn while making new friends from around the world. 

Although we provide every teacher a guide as to what each lesson should achieve, we ask our teachers to bring their own experience and personality to each class and create their own stimulating and challenging lesson plans.

We are looking for charismatic, inspirational individuals who are experienced in their field and who can provide a nurturing yet challenging atmosphere with individual attention and strong classroom management skills. 

All of our summer positions are fully residential and all of our staff teams will be actively involved in the various events and activities that we put on for our students.

WHEN AND WHERE WE NEED YOU:

Cambridge: 5th July - 31st July 2025

REIMBURSEMENT:

Before the start of the session, we run a three-day orientation (dates are inclusive of this).

Staff members receive reimbursement after the session. Travel reimbursements and any finders’ fees are paid separately. 

We provide accommodation in all locations for all staff. Meals are provided in the halls of residence once students arrive, however, staff are responsible for their meals during Orientation. 

Cambridge: £2100 GBP for the session

TRAVEL:

Up to £150 reimbursed for travel to/from Cambridge 

WHO CAN APPLY?

To apply for this role, you must be a UK citizen or have the legal right to work in the UK. Please note that we cannot sponsor visas for working in the UK.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU SHOULD KNOW?

  • All of our staff must pass a full criminal background check*
  • All staff are required to be on duty (on a rota basis) for evening programmes, activities, day trips, and arrival/departure days.

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT?

Our Teaching roles are a great opportunity for anyone looking to build on their previous teaching/tutoring work to gain invaluable experience that can be put into use in your full-time career. With guidance from us, you will be given the freedom to develop your own lesson plans, and build on your classroom experience with students from over 80 nationalities, at the same time as having a fantastic summer experience of your own. No two days at ISSOS are the same and we are really proud of the fact that our staff team has as much fun during the summer as our students do.
