Job Details

We are looking to recruit experienced and committed tutors to deliver English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes on our summer Pre-sessional English courses. These Pre-sessional courses prepare students for entry to their degree programme through development of academic language and skills.

We are seeking tutors for our Pre-sessional English (PSE) Summer 10 and 5 week courses. There are both online and face-to-face/blended versions of these courses being delivered this summer. All tutors should be familiar with using a VLE such as Moodle to support teaching, and with using Microsoft Teams for teaching.

A full induction, course syllabus and materials are provided, and you will work under the guidance of a Course Leader. There will also be opportunities for CPD during the course. All our face-to-face Pre-sessional English courses have been accredited by BALEAP.
