Applicants need to fill out our application. Listed underneath the link is a checklist of the essential information needed to support and complete your application. Please ensure that you send us all the items on this list; otherwise, we will not be able to consider you for a position.

Once we have approved your application, you will be asked to complete the Distance Learning Course. After the submission is approved, successful applicants will be invited to attend one of the four- or five-day intensive TEFL Introductory Orientation Courses. The orientation fee is 150 euros. Included in the fee are your 5-6 nights accommodation (prior to departure for camp), all meals and the TEFL course.

As the name suggests, the Distance Learning Course is to be completed remotely. It has been designed to ensure that tutors have a full understanding of the position they are applying for and that they have all the information they require to feel confident in working with Italian children.

Once hired, it is mandatory that you attend one of our orientation courses in Sanremo. Please refer to the orientation dates on the Orientation page and ensure that you are able to attend.
