Timetable: Each teacher has a varied timetable, teaching different levels and age groups based on experience and preference. The majority of our students are young learners and we have many teens groups at B2, C1, C2. The school has classes for adults, IELTS and specialised business courses but the schedule will be largely made up of learners under 18.

Responsibilities: There is an average of 23 hours of teaching per week, with approximately two hours per week dedicated to training and development, more if required. In addition to the teaching hours, there is regular admin such as lesson planning and end of term tests and reports. Split days are kept to a minimum and everyone has two days off per week. Some classes may be online, but most will be face-to-face. A reduced timetable is possible - to be discussed at interview.

Support: A happy teacher usually means happy students, so creating a supportive and inclusive environment in which teachers can enjoy their time in Riga is a priority for us. The school provides comprehensive academic support and professional development, tailored to the teachers’ needs and interests as much as possible. Teachers enjoy a collaborative atmosphere where they can learn from a team of approximately 15 friendly and supportive peers - both local and international - whose experience is wide and varied. There are opportunities to give and receive constructive feedback from regular observations and appraisals, team meetings and training sessions. As well as in-house training and development, our teachers can take advantage of the wide variety of training courses offered by the IH network.
