Job Description

Graduate of a top university?

Fluent in French or Spanish?

Are you a high-achieving graduate from Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, or another leading institution with a degree in French, Spanish, or Modern Languages?

This is a unique opportunity to use your language skills to inspire and support secondary school students -- while gaining valuable paid experience that could lead to teacher training, further study, or careers in diplomacy, education, publishing, policy, or international development.

About the Role:

You'll help students build confidence in French or Spanish through one-to-one sessions and small group interventions -- particularly those preparing for their GCSEs.

More than just a support role, this is a chance to lead, motivate, and create positive change in students' language learning, while developing your own skills in leadership, mentoring, and education.
