Teach for communication
Help learners say what they mean, understand others and participate confidently.
Teach With East English Company
Teach English. Help someone find their voice.
If you believe good English is about clarity, confidence and communication, rather than copying someone else's accent, we'd like to hear from you.
East English Company is building a network of teachers who can help learners use English in the situations that actually matter to them: conversations, work, study, travel and everyday life.
Learner-centred
Communication first
Your teaching personality matters
Why Teach With Us?
English is a skill people should be able to use.
We want lessons to feel purposeful, practical and human. Teachers are there to create the conditions for learners to think, experiment, communicate and grow.
Be the Sherpa
Guide the route, explain difficult terrain and let the learner do the climbing.
Build confidence
Create a space where mistakes become part of learning rather than something to fear.
Teach what matters
Connect lessons to the learner's goals, context, work and everyday communication.
Make language discoverable
Help learners notice patterns and understand why language works, not just memorise rules.
Respect the learner's identity
Clear English does not require learners to erase their accent, culture or personality.
Who We'd Love to Hear From
Good teachers are more than a certificate.
CELTA and other recognised English-teaching qualifications are valuable, but we also want to understand how you teach, how you work with learners and what you can bring to the classroom.
✓
Qualified or experienced English educators
CELTA, DELTA, CertTESOL, TEFL/TESOL, education qualifications or relevant teaching experience are all welcome in the application.
✓
Learner-centred teachers
You create lessons around learner needs rather than turning every class into a lecture.
✓
Confident communicators
You can explain clearly, listen carefully, give useful feedback and adapt when a learner needs a different route.
✓
Reliable professionals
You prepare well, show up consistently and treat learners' time, goals and privacy with respect.

Questions
Before you apply.
A few useful points about the teacher application.
Do I need CELTA to apply?
No single qualification is assumed on this application. You can tell us about CELTA, DELTA, CertTESOL, TEFL/TESOL, education qualifications or relevant teaching experience.
Can I apply to teach online?
Yes. The application lets you indicate online, in-person or hybrid teaching preferences so we can understand what type of teaching may suit you.
What happens after I submit?
Your application is reviewed for experience, teaching approach and potential fit. If there is a suitable next step, East English Company can contact you using the details you provide.
Should I upload my CV?
The current form asks for an optional link to a CV, LinkedIn profile or professional page rather than uploading a document directly.
Help learners speak like themselves.
Good teaching gives learners more than correct answers. It gives them the confidence and independence to keep using the language after the lesson is over.
