We are currently seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic elementary lead classroom teacher to join our team this fall (late August / early September) in the stunning coastal town of Cabrera, Dominican Republic.
Our non-profit organisation, The Esperanza Project, is a close-knit, community-focused educational institution committed to providing quality, low cost (to free!) education to the local children in a supportive and nurturing environment. We believe in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love of learning in our students.
You will be responsible for creating your own curriculum for your class, where you are able to plan and deliver your own engaging lessons across a range of subjects for elementary-aged students. Having a TEFL/TESOL certificate and some teaching experience will benefit you in this role.
Native English speakers only! (Please do not apply if you are not a native English speaker as this is absolutely required as our school is advertised to the local families as native English teachers only) Teaching certification is preferred but not mandatory, as well as some previous experience in a classroom setting. Spanish is not required but is helpful for life in the Dominican Republic.
**IMPORTANT TO NOTE**
As the position does involve working with a small, family run, non-profit organisation, and school tuition is kept extremely low, this position does not offer a salary that will provide saving opportunities. However, the salary will provide you with a sufficient income to live comfortably in the local community for the length of your stay, as well as an opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and natural beauty of the Dominican Republic.
