English Literature & Humanities Tutor for British Ski Team

Do you want to spend the winters in the mountains helping to tutor some of Britains up and coming winter sports athletes?

We are currently recruiting for a English Literature and Humanities Tutor to join our Educational Team.

In a training environment focused on hard work and commitment, Team Evolution provides alpine training opportunities for committed young student-athletes who are looking to pursue their athletic and educational goals. This includes delivering an educational support programme to the trainees that allows them to stay on top of their UK schooling, whilst spending significant amounts of time based in a mountain training environment. The programme allows our athletes to train all year round, training in the morning, and attending school in the afternoons. The majority of our athletes compete internationally, representing GB at a variety of compeitions. From the youngest ages of 9 through to the Senior athletes who are currently at University, the academy training base provides a "home away from home" where the student-athletes and staff live for the season.


Main Objectives:

To provide a high quality educational programme for student-athletes based in Austria during the 2023/24 season, from 18th November – 26th April, as well as the option of specific stand-alone camps in September, October & May, when required, with additional pay available.

To provide a safe and secure learning environment for all student-athletes.

To deliver educational support to student-athletes, in both English Language and literature & associated subjects, for a minimum of 5 days per week. Typical school sessions are 14.30 - 18.30.
