Language Teacher

Language Teachers provide private tuition and group classes for ESL students who want to learn English. They can work in Australia but many language teachers choose to work overseas.

As an ESL Language Teacher you could be assessing the spoken language skills of an ESL student and identifying areas for review, running a group class for international students, or preparing language handouts for an upcoming class. You’ll also be assigning coursework to new students, correcting homework, and grading exams.
