Why work for Hot English Language Services?
Leigh Dante, Financial Director, and Sheila Renée, Director of Studies,
ask and answer frequently asked questions about the reasons for working at Hot English Language Services.
. . . English magazine, that students receive each and every month and extensive teachers notes that pull the different components together.
With my
37.5 hours of class per week and an active webpage to run, if
I hadn't bought the adult resource pack for 250 euros per year,
I'd be toast just about now. (I think I could use a weekly issue.) If you're still stuck on "Instant
Ideas," I recommend you make the switch. (Unless you're a stickler
for overwhelming the students with excessively repetitive and boring
CNN and FOX news reports.) In my experience, both my student's and
I enjoy the material better and it's a lot cheaper.

Best part about working at Hot English Magazine?
Hot English by being a publisher as well as a language provider offers a lot more to the students and teachers alike, than the standard academy package. Every student receives, free of charge, a monthly copy of our magazine Hot ENGLISH plus the 100 page+ Skills booklet for their level. The teachers are given detailed monthly teachers notes so that they can get the most from the "Hot English method" Students also have access to the restricted area of our website for more study options as well as useful video clips. These extras are delivered to the students by the teachers therefore creating an excellent atmosphere between student and the representative of the academy, the teacher.
Teachers like Hot English because it is a young, dynamic and fun company. Those with writing skills sometimes get headhunted to do paid content writing as well as some recording for our CDS and acting work on videos.
Other benefits?
Heavily subsidized Spanish classes.
Apart from having more in-house, readily available material than any other academy in the city we also have an extensive library. Other pluses include an extensive library, internet access and kitchen facilities.
Teachers can also benefit from having a full time Teacher Liaison officer who is available to all our teachers to help with lesson planning, provide training and give seminars.
Offer teacher training or development along with job?
Yes. We organize between 16-20, 90 minute seminars during
the course of the academic year. These really useful and
fun seminars are prepared and given by the DOS and our Editorial
director, frequently published EFL writer. Teachers really
value the seminars, feeling they always learn something
new.
