Group and Tour leaders can be bilingual English teachers, Faculty of Education students, travel consultants, educators, education consultants, HR trainers, motivated parents and non-native English instructors who have English language teaching or tour experience and wish to attend either teacher training or education consultant training while in Canada.
Group and Tour leaders who help us organize and escort a group of 12 (or more) English students will have their airfare, English camp accommodation, English camp meals, English camp tour expenses paid and receive a small honorarium for acting as referral, guardian and assistant ESL English teacher.
This program is ideal for non-native English speaking individuals who want to travel to Canada with their "class" and experience a real Canadian English Immersion Program.
Group and Tour leaders will be able to use their English, work with our ESL in Canada English teachers and the English Camp activity and skills instructors. We will be posting specific 14, 21, and 28 day English Camp programs with full day schedules and updates as they become available.
We will be integrating the Group and Tour leader Program with either the ESL in Canada Summer English Camp Programs or ESL in Canada Study Tour programs
How we Operate Our Programs
The Group and Tour leader program is designed to be the best experience for all parties who participate. We want this program to be a good experience for parents, students, assistant teachers, tour leaders, regular English teachers, activity coordinators, the ESL in Canada program organizers, various cooperating schools, residence providers, travel providers and the attractions, and event providers.
We want the parents of the English students to feel comfortable with the group and tour leader acting as escort, guardian, assistant teacher, sometimes translator and confidant. It is a worrying experience for parents to send their children half-way round the world. We want parents to feel comfortable with the knowledge that a trained professional from their country is there to assist.
Our goal is to have the English students who are studying and traveling to Canada to have the best experience of their life. We want them to improve all the English skills and be able to use them.
We want the students to have fun, meet new international friends, have a wonderful tour of Canada and Canadian culture. We want students to come back to Canada with new locations and participate in new tours that become available in other exciting parts of the world.
We want the international Group and Tour leaders to have a good experience with this program. Many international English teachers have student loans, low wages and high expenses preventing them from being able to travel to join English immersion programs. The Group and Tour leader program can help these teachers finance their overseas professional development and teacher training.
Many international English teachers have employment requirements of language immersion, and teaching skills workshops or on-going professional development. The Group and Tour leader program is designed to trade the expenses of travel and tuition for assistance and training. We want the international teachers to enjoy the tour, improve their English and teaching skills, gain some international teaching experience, meet new friends and fellow Canadian teachers and help them obtain their professional development requirements.
This Group and Tour leader Program is ideal for non-native English teachers that have to attend ESL workshops or programs to maintain or upgrade their English skills and wish to attend these programs in Canada. The tour leaders receive air flights, meals, accommodation, small honorarium and TESL workshops in exchange for their assistance.
To meet all current Canada CIC Laws and USA Work Permit Regulations the Teacher Tour Program is not considered a job in Canada and the cost of airfare, accommodation and the IELTS, TESL, TEFL or TESOL teacher training workshops are not considered a salary for Canada taxation.
