Job Description

For more than 30 years, Thames Valley Summer Schools has been helping young people from all over the world to improve their command of English. During this time, over 45,000 students have spent the summer with us and, in the process, have enjoyed a complete English experience. Above all, they've discovered that learning a language can be enormous fun.

For Young Learner residential students, only prestigious boarding schools are considered and we look at everything they have to offer - from their location through to their range of facilities. Though some were founded hundreds of years ago, they're as up-to-date as any in the country.

Residential EFL teachers based at Ascot, Bradfield College, Epsom College, Sevenoaks School and Tonbridge School, receive free full board accommodation. A select number of non-residential positions at these centres are also available for teachers who live locally.

Non-residential EFL teachers based at Harrow, Richmond and Windsor, should live within commuting distance of one of these centres.
