Hi Kerry,


iXperience is a study-abroad academy in Cape Town that draws students from the world's top universities, such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Oxford. We teach rigorous, immersive courses in high-demand skills - topics that are often taught poorly, or not at all, at traditional universities. We source great Head Teachers, and Teaching Assistants, from around the globe to deliver world-class courses in data science, product management, full-stack coding, management consulting and finance.

Our Head Teachers and Teaching Assistants challenge traditional education paradigms, and inspire a cohort of exceptional students. The iX difference: We believe true learning happens not just from expert instruction, but also from motivating students to grow as professionals, teammates, and influencers. We craft each of our courses around projects derived from real-world problems, so our students are empowered to create value from the theory they learn.

We’re looking for Teaching Assistants to help our Head Teachers with course delivery, for our summer 2018 programme.

The package includes excursions (safari, wine tasting, surf lessons, etc.) and compelling remuneration.

More information is at ixperience.co.za/teach and here is our brochure. Please note that we are not trying to advertise for students to our summer abroad program, rather paid teaching assistant internships to teach these students.

Warm regards,

Laura
