About the Programme

This pre-sessional EAP programme prepares international arts students to meet the English language entry requirements of Music and Arts universities in the North of England. Students have narrowly missed institutional thresholds and are working towards CEFR B2+ - C1 equivalency.

The Role

You will plan and deliver structured, engaging EAP lessons online, teach across all four skills, assess student work against SELT-aligned scoring at B2–C1, and provide constructive feedback within agreed turnaround times. You will also maintain accurate records, meet administrative deadlines, and flag any student concerns promptly to the Programme Manager.

The programme provides a full curriculum, daily tasks, and materials. You will be expected to supplement these as needed and to adapt your delivery to the cohort’s strengths and challenges.

• A master’s degree in EAP, Applied Linguistics, TESOL, or a closely related field

• A recognised ELT teaching qualification

• At least two years’ experience delivering EAP for a UK university

• Direct experience teaching Chinese L1 learners desirable

• Familiarity with SELT question formats and SELT-aligned scoring at B2–C1

• Strong administrative reliability and prompt communication

• A collaborative, flexible, and solutions-focused approach

• Stable and fast internet connection

What We’re Looking For

Someone who is confident teaching in a synchronous online environment, takes the admin side of the role as seriously as the teaching, and genuinely believes in giving every student

the best possible chance of meeting their entry conditions. You work well within a structure and communicate promptly.

What we offer

• Remote work model.
• Great learning and development opportunities.
• Warm and friendly work environment.
• Working with a great multicultural team of professionals.
