Your Role
EF London Waterloo, International Language Campus, is looking for TEFL teachers to join us in summer 2025. This is a full time/fixed term role running throughout July and August, with permanent job opportunities post summer.
Work with the support of a professional academic team and award-nominated materials to deliver the EF academic program to classroom groups of up to 17 language students, often aged 16 and older, and representing a wide range of nationalities. Your primary goal will be to create a supportive and inspiring environment where students feel encouraged to build their confidence and develop their language skills effectively.
Teaching with EF offers you the chance to grow your teaching skills while working alongside a diverse group of colleagues and academic managers.
