Gibson Youth Academy, a school system for children from
Kindergarten to High School, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia seeks
dedicated, hardworking, professional teachers to teach English
grammar, writing, and English conversation to our students. We are
seeking efficient and competent teachers who have a great interest
in teaching, and not only those who are interested in traveling.
Teachers should have at least an ESL qualification (TEFL) or at least
a first degree in English or English education and experience
working with children. Those who have a degree in another field and
experience working with children will be accepted if they obtain at
least an online ESL qualification.
Gibson Youth Academy is a school that was founded by an
American educator with the goal of giving Ethiopian children the very
best education possible along with character development and an
emphasis on creating strong work ethic, responsibility, and academic
excellence among our students.
Ethiopian children are highly motivated to learn, and it is easy to
capture their attention. Ethiopia is an interesting country with its
own languages (83 of them), alphabets, way of keeping time, calendar,
cultural dress, cultural music and dances, endemic animals, unique
cultural foods, and much more. Addis Ababa is a fairly modern city
with very good transportation, entertainment, libraries, restaurants,
and other activities. The Ethiopian people are gentle, and the country
is very safe.
If you are a teacher who is dedicated to the edification of children
and willing to give 100% effort for the children we serve, please
contact us at [email protected] in order to receive the ESL
teacher fact sheet and information about how you can apply to work
with Gibson Youth Academy. We are also glad to provide you with
addresses of former ESL teachers who have worked with us so you
can get their perspectives about their experiences in the school.
Recently, we were honored by the BBC who chose our school to
represent Ethiopia on their website for the program WORLD CLASS.
