From the unfamiliar to the unforgettable!

As a Course Leader you will travel abroad with your own group of students during summer 2020. Language Travel trips last from two to four weeks depending on the course and the destination. You will have to be available for the students whenever they need you. Together you will do lots of different activities, dance at discos, play football or just hang out at the beach. You will work in an international environment where you meet people from all over the world. The students are between 7-17 years old and they study English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese or Korean. Even though there are lots of fun activities and excursions planned for the students, YOU can make a great impact on the students’ experience by being a great leader!
