Job Purpose, Summary and Context

A rewarding opportunity exists to join the University of Warwick in the role of EAP Tutor on our online undergraduate summer Pre-sessional programme, reporting to the Assistant Course Director.

Over the years, our Pre-sessional English provision has successfully enabled thousands of students from across the globe to be well prepared for their university studies in the UK. Our Pre-sessional programmes are designed to support students' academic, English language and extracurricular development and to access and excel on postgraduate-level programmes at the University of Warwick.

We are looking to appoint a number of well-qualified EAP tutors for our 6-week Pre-sessional course for undergraduate students. The course will be delivered online through the University of Warwick via MS Teams. You will be engaged for up to 15 hours per week in delivering 'live' classes, with an additional two hours of tutorial support (one-to-one or in smaller groups) per week.

Please note that there will be a 5-day induction period (also online) prior to the course start of 15 July 2024 which is paid (six hours per day) and requires full attendance. The rate of pay includes a pro-rata holiday entitlement. Holidays should be taken outside the course dates.

Who are we looking for?

You will be a committed EAP teacher able to teach language and study skills through the use of authentic academic listening and reading texts appropriate to students' academic needs. A course syllabus and lesson materials will be provided, and you will work with the guidance and support of an Assistant Director of Studies. Although materials are provided, you will be expected to supplement these to some extent with subject-specific materials, depending on the needs of your particular students.

Applicants must be available for the entire duration of the course. Tutors are paid based on a fulltime 36.5-hour week, which includes preparation, one-to-one feedback with students and marking, some pastoral responsibility, liaising with colleagues, communicating regularly with students, record keeping and attending meetings.

If your application is successful, you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. The University may be able to sponsor the employment of international workers in this role. This will depend on a number of factors specific to the successful applicant.
