Summer jobs

Every year, Embassy Summer operates between 20 to 25 summer schools. It's a great opportunity for those looking for temporary work within the EFL/summer schools environment to gain or build on teaching experience, pastoral work, or leading activities.

The minimum qualification for teaching positions is a CELTA, Trinity TESOL Cert. or a post-graduate teaching qualification (PGCE or BEd). In exceptional circumstances we will also consider applications from teachers who do not have one of these qualifications but who have substantial EFL teaching experience. 

Here at Embassy Summer, we've been teaching English to international students for more than 30 years, and all our summer schools are British Council accredited. We offer practical support, from course books and materials, to a ready-made programme of student excursions.
