English-speaking teachers for bilingual schools
English-speaking teachers for bilingual schools, from class teachers to subject specialists: Meridian Teachers, a teacher recruitment agency, introduces only the teachers who fit your English program and the role.
What does a bilingual school need from an English-speaking teacher?
A bilingual school needs teachers who can teach their subject in English to students who are still learning the language, often alongside a local co-teacher. We match subject, level and qualifications first, then look for teachers who have taught in a setup like yours.
