Summary of Position and Key Responsibilities:
Join the University of Central Asia in our quest to provide exceptional English language education to the children of our esteemed faculty members! We are seeking experienced regional English teachers to engage and inspire young minds on our Naryn campus.
As an English tutor, you will have the rewarding opportunity to guide two distinct age groups—children aged 1-3 years and those aged 4-6 years—in immersive English learning experiences. Your role will involve delivering face-to-face instruction on campus for three days a week, with each session lasting 150 minutes in the morning for the younger group and another 150 minutes in the afternoon for the older group, totaling five hours per day and three days per week.
We are searching for individuals with a passion for working with children and a knack for creating engaging learning environments. For the younger age group, activities will include interactive games, song memorization, and age-appropriate play-based learning activities that stimulate language development. Meanwhile, the older group will focus on foundational English skills such as alphabet recognition, basic writing, and collaborative learning activities designed to enhance language proficiency.
In addition to the specified curriculum, we encourage creativity and innovation in teaching methods. Consider incorporating storytelling sessions, and arts and crafts projects to enrich the learning experience and cater to diverse learning styles.
