PART-TIME ENGLISH TEACHER [CUENCA, CASTILE - LA MANCHA]

We are looking for a bilingual or native part-time EFL Teacher for sixth graders, secondary and high school students, and adults.

• About our centre: Founded in October 2020, AVI Institute is a learning organisation aiming to empower learners by teaching English as a foreign language and developing different life skills.

Our lessons and courses follow the Communicative Approach [CA] or Communicative Language Teaching [CLT] method, which mainly focuses on interaction to enable learners to communicate naturally with other target language users. We offer different courses to learners aged four through to adults, ranging in level from Pre-A1 to C2.

To that end, we conduct student-centred activities such as interviews, simulation games [role plays], information exchanges, and oral presentations, among others. We intend to recreate the daily reality of a target language user in diverse cultural contexts, incorporating all receptive and productive skills, prioritising the latter.

Lastly, the role of our teaching staff is to create the optimal conditions that enable our students to learn through participation, thinking autonomously and gaining the necessary confidence and skills to achieve their goals.
