Our goal is to be the best company to work for in the language school industry. Our employees play a key role in all our successes so we are committed to hiring, retaining, and developing the best people for our team. Our training and career development programs are open to all. We hope to support all members of our team as they endeavor to grow professionally and develop their skills in and beyond the classroom.
We especially encourage everyone to attend our quarterly general meetings as it is also a great chance to get to know the team and learn more about the company.
Training and support
Before beginning to teach, all instructors are required to complete Onboarding, which includes a company orientation and intensive teacher training. Our experienced trainers will guide you through everything you need to know to step into your first lesson confident and ready.
We believe that continuing to learn is the key to self-improvement so training does not stop in the early stages. We provide follow-up training after onboarding and send out monthly newsletters with various themes related to developing your skills as a teacher.
After settling into teaching English conversations lessons after onboarding, teachers will begin their training for Hummingbird pronunciation lessons. Once training is completed for a select level, you will begin teaching that level.
Periodically, you and your line manager will meet for a performance evaluation. In addition to evaluating your performance against standards, we hope to better provide support in any area you may need by understanding your individual strengths, challenges, personal goals, and career goals.
Professional
development
team
Once you get settled into teaching, there may be the opportunity to join a team and get involved in different areas of the business. Some of these areas include: scheduling, training, IT, quality control, curriculum development, HR, student support, and more. Depending on the changing needs of the company, we look for employees who would like to contribute the skills that they already have or are interested in learning new things and expanding their skill set.
We encourage all employees to inquire about joining a team!
For us, leadership is very much about taking responsibility for creating a better business while continuing to inspire and motivate people. Get to know some our leaders at the helm:
