Summary

Are you a talented MFL Teacher (QTS) with a passion for languages and a desire to inspire the next generation of global citizens in Preston?

  • Classroom Management: Maintain a positive, inclusive learning environment where students feel confident to practice their speaking skills.

  • Assessment: Monitor progress and provide constructive feedback to help students bridge learning gaps.

Requirements

  • Experience: A proven track record of teaching MFL at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE).

  • Communication: Native or near-native fluency in at least one modern foreign language.
