About the Position

Would you like to be part of a team of specialists who provide high-quality language training to corporate clients through modern online platforms?

At Laurov Institute, we go beyond traditional teaching. We are not looking for traditional teachers; we are looking for trainers: professionals who coach, facilitate, and connect language development with relevant soft skills.

You will work on engaging projects tailored to leading multinational companies operating across the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region.

What You Will Do

• Deliver online English language lessons via Microsoft Teams and other platforms as needed

• Teach learners at various language levels, from complete beginners to C1 level

• Train adults individually (1:1) or in small groups (maximum of 4 participants)

• Create and deliver quarterly Learning Plans

• Set and track goals using the OKR methodology

• Integrate soft skills (e.g., communication, meeting facilitation, presentation skills) into language training

• Monitor learners’ progress and celebrate their achievements together with them

• Collaborate regularly through online meetings with:

  • People Lead (well-being and goal setting)

  • EduExpert (methodology and instructional quality)

  • Operations Manager (back-office support)

• Upon joining, you will complete approximately 10 hours of introductory online training covering our processes and methodology

• You prepare your lessons independently. We support trainers’ individuality and unique approaches while providing full methodological support and assistance with goal setting (we do not teach from a textbook; we teach toward clearly defined goals)

What Your Workday Looks Like

• All lessons are delivered online via MS Teams

• Training is generally conducted during business hours: 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM CET/CEST

• Lessons are scheduled according to the trainer’s availability preferences

• Higher weekly teaching volume

• Fully remote work
