When you request a course with us we carefully take note of your requirements, special requests, and your course objectives. Based on this information, we match you with the most appropriate tutor for you and your needs.
If you are happy to follow our recommendation, we ask the tutor to temporarily reserve your chosen course dates. We then request you to complete an application form and following receipt of this we forward details of the nominated tutor to you for your consideration. Obviously, we want you to be happy with arrangements and we will always be available to fully advise you.
If you are happy to proceed, we request a 20% deposit (minimum €300) to be paid on receipt of our invoice.
Please note that all tutors who work with us are highly motivated, fully qualified, long experienced and very welcoming people who have been carefully selected for our courses. Only the best join our team to ensure the high standards expected of them at all times.
Our excellent group of tutors represent one of our greatest assets. Apart from being fully qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language with third level and teaching qualifications, they are enthusiastic and very friendly hosts who fully understand what is needed for a successful course.
We require out tutors to:
(1) be qualified to teach with internationally recognised qualifications
(2) be of good character
(3) be a natural teacher who love what they do
(4) have a welcoming nature for guests in their home
(5) have experience of one-to-one tuition
(4) provide comfortable accommodation
and present good healthy meals for our students
We carefully choose all our tutors and work only with the best. While it is essential that all tutors are properly qualified to teach, it is also vital that they are enthusiastic about teaching one-to-one, have a friendly welcoming disposition and
really take pleasure in what they do. These and other attributes are what make a first class tutor for our organisation.
We know that our tutors are the face of our organisation and we work with them to maintain the highest standard possible.
