This is an opportunity to teach the British Council’s flagship 100% online learning product for Adults – English Online.

Classes are designed around real-life topics and students undertake practical language tasks in group and private classes. It offers a flexible timetable, personalised learning paths and globally connected classrooms. We’re looking to build our international Teacher team to teach an ‘always on’, 24/7 timetable.
As well as providing an outstanding learning experience for our students, you’ll play a key role in helping us develop the product. We’re a fast-moving global business so you should be able to adapt quickly and enjoy trying out new innovations in online teaching.
At present, we are only accepting applications from individuals who currently reside in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas. However, we intend to broaden this to applicants who are resident elsewhere soon.

· Experience in teaching General English, Business English and exam preparation

What you will receive from us:
The flexibility to teach at times that work for you. Our timetable runs 24/7 on every day of the year.
World-renowned teacher training to become the best teacher you can be – which is paid!
Get paid up to $21 for an hour’s teaching

Most teachers teach between 10 and 20 hours a week but it’s up to you
24-hour support from our teaching and customer support teams
Process:
1. Complete your application by 9th June 2023. The earlier you apply, the earlier you can start teaching if successful.
2. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a pre-recorded video interview and will have the opportunity to ask any questions about the role via email.
3. As soon as you’ve accepted you can start our online teacher onboarding and pre-appointment screening
4. Once that’s done you can join our international teaching team and start teaching.
Please note the following:
When completing the application form, our recruitment system will ask for country preferences (where you would like to work). As this is a home-based role please select your existing country of residence (USA).
Successful applicants will not be employed directly by the British Council. Individuals will be engaged on hourly-paid contracts by our local payroll partner in the USA. Introductions to the payroll partner and any subsequent engagement will be managed by Comensura, our outsourced recruitment partner.
