Tutors

There are at least two tutors per course but this also depends on the size of the group. The number of participants normally ranges from 12 to 16. The minimum is 8. Tutors are all current teachers with many years of Young Learners experience.

Course Info

The course is run entirely by qualified tutors. Tutors are qualified both in the area of young learner teaching and tutoring in the online and face-to-face environment. Assessment will be based on a portfolio task done in each module and the final assignment.
A new module is covered each week and the material for that module is provided over the course of the week. You are given tasks to do both in groups and individually. Participants are expected to dedicate a minimum of 5 hours per week to the tasks in each module.

The tutors will give you guidance and support where needed as they are experienced Young Learners teachers themselves.

Your tutors mark your tasks as the course progresses and there is the opportunity to resubmit if necessary. At the end of the course there is a final assignment which pushes you to reflect on what you have learnt on the course.

Your tutors are on hand for support throughout. As there is no assessment of teaching, this course is not seen as a qualification, but rather a teacher development course. The final grade is a pass or fail.

  • The course consists of 60 hours of input and a minimum of 40 hours of homework and reading tasks.

     

  • Your self-study hours are flexible, but some tasks require group input and have set deadlines.

     

  • The more time you can devote to the course, the more you will gain from it.

     

  • The course is offered face-to-face and online through Zoom
