English as an Additional Language Teacher

Summer Fields is one of the premier boys’ prep and pre-prep schools in the country, situated in 70 acres of superb grounds in North Oxford. The school has an excellent academic reputation and is extremely well resourced.

We are seeking to appoint a part-time teacher with a qualification in English as an Additional Language to join the Learning Support Department which is an integral part of the school's academic provision. The successful applicant will teach boys on an individual basis for 10-12 hours across two to three days per week. We require a teacher who has an excellent understanding of EAL and who can inspire the boys, relate well to the parents and show commitment and enthusiasm. You will be supporting boys who are both bilingual and multilingual with a particular focus on their written grammatical skills.
