Teaching in Sardinia

The Speak English School still has a part-time teaching opportunity from now until July.

We're a small but bustling language schoo in Arzachena, and pride ourselves on being dynamic and innovative. The social side is big with us, too, and we hold monthly Speak English pizza nights.

If you'd love to join our team of teachers, here's what you need to do:

Be a native English speaker

Have EU citizenship/working papers in place

Be CELTA/Trinity-qualified

Have a passion for teaching

Speak at least some Italian

Tell us why you are the best teacher out there for the job

Give us an example of your passion and initiative

And here's not what to do:

Don't send us a general application that you're sending to a million different places

Don't send us an application full of grammar and spelling mistakes

Don't apply if you don't meet the above criteria

Don't mention in your application form that you've always wanted to live in Rome/Florence/Venice. We're in Sardinia.

Don't attach a general business CV. We're an English school not a corporation. It's the teaching experience we're interested in first and foremost.

Don't send us an email asking for more information about Sardinia. If you want the job, you do the homework.

Send your application (including CV) to emmaDOTbirdAThowtoitalyDOTcom

On a related subject, for Italian, it seems some of the local authorities in Italy have started offering free Italian courses especially aimed at foreigners. They're for both written and spoken Italian at all levels.

I've joined one of the classes and it's really changing my experience of Italy both in terms of improving my language skills and meeting foreign people in the same situation.

I wondered if anyone else in other regions of Italy had come across something similar and had any experiences / feedback?

Hello Emma,

I just fond your blog and I was wondering: do you still live and work in Sardinia?

[Betty (suche job in italien)]

are you still there? do you think it would be easy to find a job as waiter, even your italian might not that good?

Hello,
I just found this page and it is now Oct., 2011. Please let me know if you still run the school in Arzechena. I am very interested. I used to live in Porto Pozzo. I am an American.
Thank you,
Jan
