UP International College New Zealand Auckland

Pre-Foundation Studies teacher

At UP Education, we believe learning should be defined by the exceptional! We have built an innovative, student-centred learning community that provides outstanding education opportunities for international students in New Zealand. To find out more about us, please visit: partnerships.up.education

About the role 

We have a new programme for 14 to 16-year-old international students, “Pathway Link”. The students will be in a ‘home room’ with a class teacher and subject specialist teachers, at our campus in central Auckland. After the year in “Pathway Link” and then a year Foundation Studies, these students will progress to one of our partner Universities.  

“Pathway Link” is an accelerated programme for young, ambitious, academically minded international students. You would be leading our third cohort, in late January 2025.

About you 

We are looking for a full-time, permanent teacher who can teach a variety of subjects, providing a caring, safe, and stimulating environment, with high academic expectations, excellent classroom management skills, and with an understanding of supporting English language learners. 

Current teacher registration in New Zealand is essential. The secondary salary scale will apply, but we are also keen to hear from primary or intermediate teachers who are interested. Early or mid-career teachers are very welcome, as you would enjoy the mentoring and coaching of our established and experienced team. Teaching maths is a particular advantage.
