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

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

We are looking to appoint a number of well-qualified EAP tutors for our 6-week PSE courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students. The courses will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. Tutors will teach a maximum of 17 contact hours per week, which includes 15 hours of teaching and 2 hours of tutorials.

Please note that there will be a 5-day induction period prior to the course start of 20^th July (6 weeks) 2025, which is paid (6 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.

We are looking for 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 a Course Director and Assistant Course Director. 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 full-time 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.

All tutors will be observed by the management team during their delivery of the programme and will be encouraged to take part in peer observations.

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.
