English Academy Varna is looking for 1 full time teacher and 1 part time teacher to teach in Varna, Bulgaria, on the black sea coast.

The school and resources
English Academy Varna was established in 2006 and has grown to be one of the most popular schools in Varna. Currently, we have 350 adult students and 80 young learners studying at the school and 11 teachers from Britain and the USA. The school is very modern and we have many resources available for teachers including 3 cupboards of additional resource books, 5 computers with supplementary material linked to the books, 2 fast photocopiers, projector connected to a computer for teachers use and oversized whiteboards in every class. Our aim is to be the most professional and prestigious school in Varna and as such we expect the highest standards from our teachers.

Courses
The school works on a 4 term basis and teachers are allocated new classes at the start of each term. Each student is given a coursebook which they will follow throughout the course. Whilst teachers are expected to follow the course, we also expect teachers to use their own materials to supplement the course. We are well resourced and teachers are given support in this. Each student will have a Mid and End term test given by the teacher and will receive a certificate at the end of the course.

Teaching hours
Full time Teachers are expected to teach between 20-24 hours per week, 5 days a week with 2 consecutive days off in a row. We offer General Adult, Business, Exams and Young learner classes in groups of between 5-12 students onsite. Most of this teaching is in the evenings on weekdays, or in the daytime at weekends. We also have some individual students and offsite clients during the day. Teachers will not be expected to work split shifts and most of the daytime weekday work is taken up on a voluntary basis.

The positions
The full time position is for 1 year, from 8 Janauary 2011 to 15 December 2011 (4 school terms) and the part time position is negotitable. Both positions come with guaranteed hours (20-24 hours for the full time position and 12 hours+ for the part time position).
The full time candidate will initially be on a Sunday to Thursday contract with Fridays and Saturdays free. The hours will include 7 hours young learners (7-13 year olds) and 13-17 hours adult classes.

Ideally, we are looking for someone who can teach a full range of levels and ages. We have General and Business courses for Adults from beginner through to proficiency as well as CAE/IELTS and TOEFL exam classes. Experience in a full range of classes is a definite advantage. We also offer Young learner classes at weekends for children aged 7-13. We try to match teachers to their strengths and provide training for new levels. As mentioned, the new teacher will be expected to teach young learners and adult classes.

Cost of Living

Bulgaria is still very cheap compared to the rest of Europe. The Bulgarian Leva is fixed to the Euro at 1 euro=1.95 leva. In a local restaurant, salads are between 3-5 leva, main meals from 4-8 leva and beer around 1.50 leva. Public transport is 1 leva anywhere in the city limits.
