Summer Job

• How long can I work for?

Camps start directly after Orientation. Each Camp is one or two weeks long and an average tutor works for a total of 4 - 5 weeks. There are two factors that will determine how long you work for:
• You prove to be an excellent Tutor.
• There are Camps available to work at.
The number of Camps we run varies from week to week, some periods (July 20- August 20th) being far quieter than others. The number of Tutors we require also varies from week to week and the available work may not always be offered consecutively.

• When should I book my return flight?

In the past, Tutors first decide how many weeks they would like to work for. They usually have a back up plan for when the quiet period begins or in the case of no camps available i.e Travel, visit family or friends. Some airlines give you the option of flying into one country / city and leaving from another, they also may allow you to change your departure date free of charge - you will have to ask about this when purchasing your ticket. Tutors crossing the Atlantic into Europe have found it cheaper to fly into the UK and then taking a Ryan air flight www.ryanair.com to Milan (followed by a 5 hour journey to Sanremo), Geneva (followed by a 2-3 hour journey to Sanremo) or an Easy jet flight www.easyjet.com to Nice - France (followed by a 1.5 - 2 hr journey to Sanremo).

If arriving in Nice you need to catch the bus to the train Station - Nice Villa, If there is no direct train to Sanremo you purchase a ticket and take the first train to Ventimiglia - Italy and at Ventimiglia you need to purchase another ticket for Sanremo.

• If I can’t make it to Orientation, can I start later?

It is imperative that you attend an Orientation before you are sent to work in a Camp! You must arrive in Sanremo the day before the Orientation. Orientations will be held on May 27th, June 2nd, 9th and 17th, 2008. You will learn specific skills and gain a good understanding of how the ACLE Camps work. You will start your first Camp directly after Orientation. ACLE also has 2-3 weeks work for people starting with Orientation around August 18th.

• If I apply with my friend/partner, can we work together?

Usually we are able to accommodate for friends/partners traveling and working together. However, due to the nature of the job we cannot guarantee you will be placed at the same Camp.
