Homestay Teachers

What is it like working with LLE? Here's one teacher's testimonial.

We are always looking for new teachers to join our team, especially for the high season (June, July and August). We need teachers who can offer at least 2 weeks in summer, but more weeks are available throughout the year for the right candidates. We welcome applications from as early in the year as possible.

Successful homestay teachers will enjoy teaching English and hosting international visitors in their home. They will have one of the following professional qualification in teaching:

• CELTA,
• Trinity TESOL,
• Primary PGCE, PGDE or BEd
• Secondary PGCE or PGDE in English or MFL

If you are not currently ELT qualified, please check the following organisations for the most convenient training location: UCLES / RSA CELTA or TrinityCert TESOL (4 or 5 week courses).

Our UK-based teachers have comfortable homes with a spare bedroom and enthusiasm for sharing their language, culture and location. Many of our teachers have worked in business, industry or other educational fields prior to teaching from home. The advantages for you are flexible working arrangements and the convenience of working in your own home. We are well-known for providing great support for our teachers including access to the latest teaching materials. Read Lesley's experiences of working with us here.

If you are interested in becoming a homestay teacher for Living Learning English, please contact us for further information. We look forward to hearing from you!

Safer Recruitment: LLE is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.  LLE operates a safer recruitment policy to help deter candidates who may be unsuitable to work with children and vulnerable adults.  References will be sought from short-listed candidates before interview and questions will ask specifically if there are any reasons why the applicant should not be employed in a position where they have responsibility and access to children and young people aged under 18 years old.  At the interview stage, any gaps in employment will need to be explained satisfactory and proof of qualifications will need to be seen.  If successful for this position, applicants should be aware that they will need to undergo an Enhanced DBS check by the disclosure and baring service before appointment is confirmed.  This position is exempt from the Rehabilitation of offenders Act 1974 and therefore all convictions, cautions, written warnings, bind overs, including those regarded as “spent” must be declared.  It is a criminal offence to provide any false information.
