Language Teaching Jobs

How can I apply for a language job at summer camp?

When starting your application you’ll be asked to select your top skills. Choose languages. Go into detail about what you’re going to bring to the role, your skill level and if you already know the basics or are fluent. A camp director will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit, and invite you to their camp.

Why should I teach languages instead of being a general counselor?

Teaching languages at camp is a great way to increase your speaking level through practice, to learn a new language, or to gain teaching experience. If you're thinking about developing your language skills, or pursuing a potential career in languages or teaching, this is a can't miss opportunity.

How can I make my languages job application stand out?

There are two main factors that you can improve before summer. First, gain experience working with children through volunteering with a local school or language class. That way, even if you can't find a language role, you'll still have a good shot at getting hired. Second, practice your language skills with Duolingo or a similar tool!

How many children will I be teaching in one language session?

Your language teaching sessions will see you delivering lessons to classes of 10-30 people - including at least one counselor for every 6-10 campers. Skill levels may vary widely, so it'll be your job to make sure everyone can participate.
