Companies such as i-to-i offer TEFL certifications that are world renowned and enable newly qualified teachers to gain good positions at language schools on a global scale. Accredited by the ODLQC (the Open Distance Learning Quality Council) the company offers a range of courses both on online and with classroom training that fully prepare tutees for life as a TEFL teacher. The company also offer TEFL graduates the option of their teaching placement service; with destinations across Europe and Asia. This week the company has launched a brand new teaching placement opportunity;
Earning up to £235 a week teachers will be able to work at a variety of locations around the UK including; Bideford, Farnham, Hampshire, Plymouth, Repton, Newton Abbot, Callington, Bruton, Barnstaple, Falmouth, Rugby, Ayr and St Austell. Based in some of England’s most scenic locations, teachers can explore the local sights as well as working on their TEFL skills. For teachers who wish to discover more of England’s fascinating sights and sounds, there will also be the option of staying for up to 2 months by completing more than one camp session. There will also be the choice of staying in single board rooms for campers who prefer a little more privacy and a lot less bugs.
The UK summer camp will give participants the chance to work with a range of people and cut their TEFL teeth. Doing something unique and earning money over the summer holidays don’t often come hand in hand. Even rarer is the combination of these and the chance to develop useful skills that will improve employability. The UK TEFL summer camp will afford new and practised teachers all of these benefits and more; teachers can choose to work for as little as 2 weeks, the perfect opportunity to get valuable teaching experience without a long contract. The camp will give teachers a chance to interact with other TEFL enthusiasts as well as tutees from around Europe, developing useful contacts in the TEFL world as well as life long friendships.
Teachers with less experience will also find the camp a useful starting point as no degree is required. Teachers are required to have a minimum of just a 60 hour TEFL course, though a longer course running for 100 to 120 hours will give teachers an extra edge and more teaching confidence. The camps offer plenty of choice as they run throughout July and August and teachers can choose to take up to 5 classes a day.
