Position Overview: Part-Time Teacher/Fluency Coach You are a professional in the ESL/EFL industry who is passionate about elevating and empowering women all over the world by helping them develop their English skills to advance in their careers and feel confident in their new English-speaking homes. You want to shout YES!to the idea of helping others overcome years of feeling trapped, confused, and frustrated by their perceived inability to speak fluent English. They’ve done all the right things when it comes to language learning but they still feel too shy, stuck, or nervous to speak. You believe the world is better and kinder when we engage in meaningful conversation and you’re committed to creating space for that to happen. You are thrilled by the idea of working on a small but dynamic virtual team with a values-driven culture that prioritizes empathy, kindness, and support—among our team and with our students. Speak Confident English is seeking a new teacher to join its team to deliver online, small group classes to adults in our Advanced/Mastering Conversation programs and support women learning inside our membership-based Confident Women Community. At Speak Confident English, as you might guess, we focus on helping students develop lasting confidence and fluency in their spoken communication. Quite often we act more as coaches and confidants to students seeking social mobility, career opportunities, or comfort in a new English-speaking home yet struggling with confidence and the leap toward fluency. This includes students moving to an English-speaking country and aiming to feel comfortable living/working in English; adjusting to life as a refugee; working as an executive director and advocate in an international human rights organization; taking the opportunity to lecture in an international university program; or starting a new company and working with international clients. Our team works to bring compassion, support, and kindness to the life of each client while also providing practical instruction on how to develop confidence and fluency in English. And we believe every success—no matter how big or small—is worthy of celebration. Job Offer Details
