ESL Teacher

At LACUNZA IH we are looking to hire an enthusiastic teacher to join our team in different centres in San Sebastian, Zarautz, Tolosa or Renteria.

We are looking for teachers that are versatile and are happy to teach young learners, teenagers, exam classes and adults. If you have less experience with one of these age groups or levels and are willing to develop your skills in these areas, we can help. We have an in-house professional development programme and can adapt this to your needs in order to help you develop as a teacher and therefore be more able to cater for our student's needs.

Lacunza IH was established in 1958, we are a large school accredited by both International House and Eaquals, and we are also an authorised Platinum Cambridge centre. We operate in 10 different locations in and around San Sebastian, so we have a big team of teachers, directors of studies and department heads. Our client base is mostly young learners and teenagers who start with us at around 6 years old and generally stay with us until they take their Cambridge exams, usually the Cambridge Advanced at around 16 years old. We also offer adult exam preparation, general English classes for adults and business classes.

• The role is open only to those with the right to work in the EU.

• At least one year of teaching experience using communicative methodology.
