Maths Teacher/Tutor For British Ski Team at Team Evolution alpine racing
Ski Resort: Radstadt/Altenmarkt, Austria
Description
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 Maths Tutor to join our Educational Team.
The Team Evolution alpine race academy programme is designed for athletes looking to work within a professional structure that is dedicated to their development both on and off the slopes. Team Evolution provides alpine training opportunities for committed young student-athletes who are looking to pursue their athletic and educational goals, “In Pursuit of Excellence.”
In a training environment focused on hard work and commitment, which enables trainees to learn life lessons by risking failure and learning from success, the programmes provided by the Team Evolution set-up are student-athlete centered at all times. This includes delivering an educational support programme to the trainees which 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 academy training base in Radstadt, Austria provides a "home away from home" where the student-athletes and staff live for the season. The staffing team is made up of knowledgeable and committed pastoral staff, tutors and coaches who are passionate about their roles in developing athletes and the programme, and obviously love the mountains!
Main Objectives:
• To provide a safe and secure learning environment for all student-athletes.
• To deliver educational support to student-athletes, in both Math's & associated support subjects, for a minimum of 5 days per week, for 3 hours per day. Working days are usually 2.30pm - 6.30pm, Mon – Fri, including travel, although days and times may vary due to competition schedules, and additional tuition may be required at weekends/evenings to support student learning.
• To liaise with the Schools Liaison, Head Tutor and other tutoring staff to plan lessons, workloads and to manage student-athletes through the online Educational Planner in Google Drives.
• To provide a high quality educational programme for student-athletes based in Austria during the 2022/23 season, from November – April, as well as during specific stand-alone camps, when required.
• To plan additional educational activities to help with the individual educational and personal development of each athlete, both in and out of the classroom. Encouraging student athletes to engage with the local language and culture through extra curricular activities is a key objective of the tutoring team, and creates part of the job role outside of the 3 hours per day tutoring.
• To provide private support and tutoring for athletes where required, with discussion and guidance from the Schools Liaison and Programme Director.
• To assist with the running of the day to day educational programme and facilities, where requested, including certain responsibilities around the training base.
• On occasion, to supervise athletes as part of external activities outside of regular teaching times, sometimes at short notice. This may include at race trips away from the training base.
* All members of Team Evolution staff will be required to assist with driving, including airport pick-ups, during the season. Applicants should have a full, clean driving license *
Remuneration:
• Wages are based on Teaching & Tutoring experience, ranging from £200 - £300 per working week, and including bonuses where appropriate
• Shared staff accommodation in resort, from the start of November to the end of April
• Half Board accommodation, eating at the training base
• Travel expenses at the start (November) and end (April) of the season, or transfer travel with staff
• Season Pass
• Team Clothing
