    Part-time
    London

    LOOKING FOR PRIVATE FRENCH AND SPANISH TUTORS We are a small, locally run language school offering classes in French and Spanish to adult learners who are seeking to learn as a hobby.We offer relaxed, fun and sociable classes in small groups. We use a well-structured and professionally designed course, however unlike traditional colleges, our courses do not have heavy writing and grammar components and are intended to appeal to people who would like to take a light-hearted, conversation-based approach to acquiring language skills. Our classes are as much fun for students as they are for the teachers using our delightful, interactive method. We are looking for two to four tutors to teach our French and Spanish classes respectively. This will entail teaching around four evening classes a week in our face to face classes in Swiss Cottage, four morning classes in Hampstead, and potentially four afternoon classes in Camden. Each class is 90 minutes long. The classes will start week 14th September and run for 11 weeks inclusive of a 1 week half term, ending in week 23rd November. Each tutor has the freedom to teach as many classes as they are able to and that are available to teach, as long as they can commit to the full 11 week term per class. The classes will be beginner, improver, intermediate and advanced level. We offer a fully resourced curriculum with clear learner progression. We use a unique teaching method designed by Language for Fun. The tutor will be expected to attend 8 hours of training with the first training session taking place on September 13th. They will also be offered ongoing classroom support over the term. Whilst prior teaching experience is an advantage, it is not essential as our method is comprehensive and provides a simple, easy to follow model for teaching. You do need a lot of passion for the language you’re teaching and a love for sharing the language with others and helping them learn. There will be two monthly social events for French and Spanish respectively which the tutor will also run in October and November. To start September 2026. If you can offer the following we will be interested in talking to you: • Fluent Spanish or French (C1 Level), • Teaching or other relevant experience, preferably a teaching qualification but not essential., • A warm, charismatic, friendly and engaging manner., • Independent worker and some experience working self-employed would be beneficial., • Proactive and determined to help students learn., • Open to learning a new teaching method for teaching languages to adults in a conversation-based way., • Right to work in the UK., • Please note this is on a self-employed basis and students are not eligible for this type of contract under UK employment law so please do not submit an application if you are an international student. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please get in touch with Jayanti to arrange a friendly chat.
