How the partnership worksFrom first contact to your first lesson
We want the partnership to make sense for both sides. We start by getting to know your qualifications, experience, preferred teaching style and availability. Together we establish which courses and clients suit your profile best.
1Tell us about yourself
Start with your CV, a brief description of your teaching experience, the languages you teach and your availability. We are also interested in whether you prefer corporate, one-to-one, children’s, online or in-person teaching.
Outcome: an initial picture of which course types might suit you. We will check whether we currently have, or are likely to have, courses of that kind available.
2We meet in person or online
At the interview we discuss your experience, approach to teaching, expectations and the practicalities of working together. We share our own expectations and requirements. Part of the conversation takes place in the language you want to teach.
Outcome: confirmation of your language level, professional approach and mutual fit.
3Show us how you teach
The selection process includes a short demonstration lesson and a methodological and language check. We are not looking for a single universal style – we are looking for the ability to lead a lesson professionally, meaningfully, communicatively and with the learners’ needs in mind.
Outcome: a clearer sense of your personality, teaching style, strengths and the kinds of courses that fit you best.
4We onboard you
Before you start teaching we walk you through our methodological and administrative procedures, our internal system, lesson recording, and the communication channels with coordinators and methodologists.
Outcome: a teacher who is ready for both the teaching and the course administration that goes with it.
5We assign your first course
Before you begin a specific course, we give you all the information you need: your learners, the course goals, the materials used and any specific requirements for that course.
Outcome: a teacher who knows who they will be teaching, what the course goals are, how the partnership will work logistically and who to turn to when needed.
6You are never on your own
Throughout the partnership you have access to coordinators and methodological support. We help with organisation, materials, working with learners, more complex classroom situations, feedback and ongoing professional development.
Outcome: a stable partnership in which the teacher has support and the client receives well-managed teaching.
