Academics are currently in partnership with a large number of secondary schools and academy’s that are located throughout Stoke-on-Trent & Newcastle-under-Lyme.

* Burslem

Instructors can be utilised in secondary schools to provide cover for a class when a teacher is not available. They have a subject specialism and they are employed on a flexible and day-to-day basis to ensure that a teacher can have time away from the classroom to carry out other duties (planning, assessment, or training days) or they may also be required to cover lessons for teachers who are away from school due to sickness, self-isolation or for any other absences. An Instructor is not responsible for planning or assessing a lesson as the original class teacher will set work for students to complete and the Instructor will manage behaviour and ensure that students remain on task.
The benefits of working as an English Instructor in a secondary school include:
* No lesson planning or marking!
* Along with your subject specialism, you can support a wide variety of subjects across the curriculum!
* Work alongside successful practising teachers to develop your education knowledge further!
* Flexible working – only want to work 3 days one week, but 5 days the next? Not a problem!
