EBC’s exclusive, pro-active, lifetime, worldwide job programme can quickly get you English teaching jobs. Ask EBC to send your professionally formatted CV and a personalised introduction to the best language schools in your location.

You don’t need to look for work. Language schools contact you via email or phone to arrange an interview. Based on demand, schools may call from an hour (yes, we are serious) to a few days after your CV is sent out. Any longer, you probably mistyped your phone number!

Passing the interview and accepting the job is up to you; these are the only things that EBC cannot do for you. You arrange and agree on the hiring terms and conditions with the language school; EBC does not get involved.

EBC does not guarantee jobs and is not a job agency
