This involves grading tests and completing comments and records to communicate student performance with schools and parents. Travelling to schools, regular communication with the academic and operations teams, and attending meetings and training sessions are key parts of the role. A Secondary ESL teacher requires a dedication to helping pre-teen students (aged 11-15) expand their knowledge of a new language and structures and how to use them. It is important to have strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as patience and an understanding of development of students aged 11-15 and how it affects their learning and behaviour.
