About The Role
English Language Training Services (ELTS) are looking to recruit an English Language Tutor to join a growing transnational education programme in China.

The TNE tutor will be responsible for the delivery of English language classes in an Engineering university in China. They will also be required to work in Swansea delivering summer courses.
The main responsibilities of the role include:
• Teach as a member of a small overseas teaching team within a programme of study in a variety of settings from small group /individual tutorials to larger classes.

• Undertake non-teaching duties and activities which may include marketing ELTS and establishing professional relationships overseas.

At ELTS we pride ourselves on our professional, high quality English language training, and offer a variety of EFL, EAP and ESP programmes, as well as CELTA teacher training courses.

These posts require a contribution to teaching, student assessment and supervision within ELTS. The post requires high quality delivery of teaching and student learning and a commitment to enhancing the overall student experience.
