For Summer 2022 all our classes will be in the Harrow area, with our residential students boarding at the world famous and extremely prestigious Harrow School. Recruitment is now open for non-residential teachers who can commute to the Harrow area (nearest tube Sudbury Hill), are flexible in their ability to teach juniors or adults and are looking to share an unforgettable British summer school experience with our students from all around the world.
KKCL is looking for enthusiastic, passionate and flexible EFL / ESL teachers to teach juniors (9-17) and adults this summer on our Go Create! English and General English courses.
KKCL Juniors is a summer school with a difference! We have developed our own creative English language programme which sees our juniors doing projects as diverse as filmmaking, songwriting and radio drama production, all while learning and improving their English. If you love working with kids and activating their creativity and enthusiasm all while helping them develop their skills and confidence in English then this is the place for you!
KKCL also welcomes adults at our summer school, and our adult General English classes are topic-based and communicative in order to equip students with the tools they need to take their English one step further. We follow a flexible syllabus that allows teachers to use their creativity and experience to tailor lessons to suit the needs and interests of their class.
During our most recent British Council inspection (2015) strengths were noted in the areas of course design, teaching, care of under 18s, leisure opportunities, care of students and student administration and we are looking for staff to match our levels of excellence.
