Youth Leadership Teacher

WHAT DOES THIS JOB INVOLVE?

As the Youth Leadership Teacher you will guide your students through ISSOS’s bespoke Leadership programme and will offer hands-on learning through interactive workshops, energetic activities and fun-filled challenges.

Though we provide the full content for this course, your experience and expertise will help students to develop greater confidence, leadership and interpersonal skills, and inspire them through developing new ways to express themselves, pursue goals, resolve conflicts and bring about positive change.

Your passion, leadership and enthusiasm should inspire your students to complete the programme with new confidence and skills to live their best life.

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 the content for this course, we ask our teachers to bring their own experiences and personality to each class.

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.

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 have as much fun during the summer as our students do.
