This year I’ve taught several mini stays (St Albans & Colindale) as a Teacher/Excursion Leader and returned to the UK in the summer to work as a Full Time Teacher at Chichester University and Kings College, London.
UKLC ensures that students have as much fun as you can pack into a short visit, while improving their English. The curriculum works well and there are plenty of colleagues around to help, give advice and offer ideas.
Classes and activities are designed to be fun and engaging, and every member of staff is encouraged to bring their personality and enthusiasm into the classroom.
There are highs and lows, of course, but I’d certainly recommend working for UKLC at a summer school or ministay.
It’s not easy to pick a single highlight but, for me, it has to be the people - fellow teachers, excursion leaders, sports staff, group leaders and students - who helped me realise that there are so many paths to take, places to see and new folk to meet.
