Teach with us

We love teaching languages and culture. It’s as simple as that.

As demand for languages grows, we are always looking for teachers to fill new roles. Teaching assignments can range from teaching individuals from beginner through to A level, or from nursery age to adult. If you’re excited about teaching Mandarin, Spanish, French or Arabic then we want to hear from you.

As a Dragons teacher, your goal is to make language learning fun and exciting for your students. We ensure our teachers excel by providing an in-house training programme focused on student engagement.

With a team of 120 teachers and a dedicated office with more than 16 years of experience, you will be continually supported as you meet your next teaching challenge.

Please note that we can only recruit teachers who have a demonstrable right to work in the UK.

Where and when can I teach?

We have a range of teaching programmes designed for individual tuition, primary and secondary curricula, school enrichment and corporate cultural awareness. With the launch of our e-learning platform ‘Connect’ you will be able to teach to and from any location.

Working with schools can involve timetabled teaching for different age groups on-curriculum, running a regular after-school or enrichment club, or teaching a language as part of a school’s activity week.

Teachers who work directly with individual students at home may tutor complete beginners in short introductory courses or take their student from a beginner through to qualification level. Depending on the demand of a particular language and the availability of students at identical levels, some private tuition may involve teaching small groups of students.

Dragons teachers benefit from full support and training throughout the academic year; the provision of textbooks and schemes of work; and online access to all our teaching support materials. As our Connect programme is a hybrid learning model of both virtual teaching and interactive exercises, you will be unrestricted by geography, meaning that we can offer flexible teaching times to suit both you and our students.

What skills will I need?

Dragons Teaching prides itself on providing expert language tuition from genuine professionals. We look for candidates with strong teaching experience and those who have a demonstrable passion for their chosen language.

You will need to have excellent verbal communication skills and be confident teaching a range of group sizes, from one-on-one tuition to school class groups. You will need to demonstrate patience with learners and have the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. As our Connect programme is online, you will also need to be computer-literate and able to troubleshoot basic IT issues.

All of our teachers undergo enhanced background checks, which must be cleared before employment.
