TEFL Jobs in Italy

Perhaps no other country in Western Europe has a higher demand for TEFL/TESOL certified teachers than Italy. In virtually every city, a job seeker with a certificate such as that offered by International should be able to find TEFL job rather quickly and many cities have more job openings than there are certified teachers to fill them.

EFL teachers love the lifestyle that Italy offers. Because Italy is an EU country, EU citizens have an easier time finding work here, but due to the incredibly high demand for certified teachers, a great many non-EU citizens have been able to find TEFL jobs across Italy.

When to Find a TEFL Job in Italy

Although TEFL jobs are available all year round in Italy, the best time to look for work starts in February. Another good time to look for work is at the very beginning of the school year in September and October, when schools may very well have need for new teachers every day.

How to Find a TEFL Job in Italy

Thousands of TEFL jobs in Italy are advertised on the internet and various TEFL-related web sites. You can also get schools’ contact information by searching for previous job postings as well as through language school directories and online business publications. It’s best to send an up-to-date resume along with a cover letter and then to follow up with a phone call to make contact in person.

What you need to Know about your TEFL Job

While considering a job offer, be sure to have answers to all questions regarding rates of pay, salary and other benefits. Find out if you’ll have to travel to your lessons and if you get compensated and/or reimbursed for this time and expense. Ask about what kind of resources the school has for planning lessons and teaching materials, as well as what kind of administrative and collegial support you will have. This will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises after agreeing to take the position. Also, be sure to get all details confirming benefits written in your contract.

  Date posted:2011-06-30 | Writer: Canterbury School | Email: didattica@canterburyschool.it

  Canterbury School is a private language centre based in Schio, a town in the North East of Italy. We are looking for a motivated, confident, enthusiastic, and lively native English speaking teacher who can speak at least a basic level of Italian to teach one to one classes and groups at all ages and all levels. TEFL / TESOL Certificate is required. Teachers need to have a valid EU passport and a clean driving licence, and they have to bring with them European Health Card or International health card.
  
  Our school is wonderfully located. It is very close to cities like Vicenza, Verona and above all Venice. So, if you like teaching English as a second language, but you also love art, history, culture, and beauty, its the perfect place for you because all these cities and many other fascinating sites are easily accessible and can be reached within one hour. If you love nature and sports, our charming mountains are near at hand and if you have a love of water here you have the Adriatic sea and Lake Garda!
  
  We offer full time legal contract to the end of June 2012 with a guaranteed minimum weekly workload. Teachers are paid 10 net per hour (which is 18 with VAT), so the salary is usually between 1000 and 1200 . It depends on how many hours they have got. Health insurance and retirement found is paid by us. The amount is enough to live comfortably in Italy, to pay the accommodation bills, to travel as you wish, to enjoy the Italian way of life. We provide the teacher with private accommodation near the school; the school pays the rent but the teacher must pay the bills with their salary. We have two types of accommodation: a flat to share with other teachers (100 per month per person and an adjustment in the spring because of the heating used in the winter months), or a single mini-flat (100 per month for general maintenance plus the cost of the bills for water, electricity and heating), according to the availability.
  
  The usual workload is about 20/25 hours a week (approx) and the lessons can be in the morning, the afternoon and in the evening (Monday to Friday and sometimes Saturday mornings). We usually try to concentrate them as much as possible so that when teachers come to school they carry out several lessons & not for just one lesson. We need our teachers to have a valid driving licence because some courses are located in business in the area so you may need to drive there.
  
  All teachers have free access to the teachers resource library, computers and a free in-house teacher training package (both on-arrival and ongoing).
  In our school there is a nice atmosphere and a friendly working environment within a dynamic team. This position could be suitable for a person who wants to try a new exciting experience and who would like to have the opportunity to live the Italian life and culture.
  
  So, if you think you are a responsible, patient, enthusiastic, and creative person, who has the above required documents, who feels like living this new experience in our great country please contact us at the e-mail address given on the job heading confirming you qualify, A.S.A.P!
