TEACH IN SAN SEBASTIAN, SPAIN
(NORTHWEST SPAIN, BORDERING FRANCE)
BACKGROUND:
We are an American family from New York City. We spent the last 2 years in San Sebastian and are going back in September.
WE NEED:
Experienced teacher to help our kids through their US curriculum while they attend local school in San Sebastian, a coastal city in the Basque Region of Spain in the north, bordering France. English language, grammar, literature, comprehension and
creative writing and US history. Experience with language and learning differences is a plus.
THE KIDS in September '08 our 3 kids will be:
Girl: 15 yrs. /10th grade. Boys: 8 + 10yrs. / 3rd + 5th grade.
WHEN WE NEED IT:
September 2008. Full time job (scholastic calendar), will incorporate lessons
into the kids’ school daytime. Planning will start earlier, will include
meetings in NYC with us and NY school. You should plan on at least a two year commitment if possible.
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:
Since this is a unique one-on-one teaching job, you may have specific questions about us, schedules, the location, support...
However, since we've done this before, and have a lot of experience with it, we are well versed to give you a very comprehensive overview of what the
job entails. We are looking for a very special creative, energetic person who will be the right fit. Our former teacher, who was just terrific, will be available to talk
to you in depth. We have work samples and videos that you can see of our past experience, we will do our best to inform you about us, about San Sebastian, and what to expect in general.
The curriculum the kids will follow will be worked out ahead of time, but will require your collaboration in further applying it creatively day-to-day. There will
be important links back to their school in NY, as well as continuous support from learning specialists. The plan would be to prepare in the US beforehand,
to meet us, the school, to review work materials and books. We are very thorough and supportive, and look forward to a good working relationship
and a creative experience.
HOW TO CONTACT US:
My name is Len Zabala. Please e-mail: LZABALA@MAC.COM
