Tour Leaders Wanted for English Language Programs

Tour Leaders Wanted for English Language Programs

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 look forward to seeing you and your students in 2022.

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.

One-of-a-kind camp geared to kids learning English

2018-05-19T17:21:00.001-07:00

The camp is offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, once kids are let out of English as a Second Language summer school. The Jangs and volunteer camp counselors run games, activities and sports, all with the goal of kids working on their English, burning energy and making friends.

The school board has donated the space at MacGregor for the month of July. In August, they’ll be operating out of Youth Unlimited in Kitchener.

“At the moment we are seeing if we should collaborate with another group or combine resources,” said Chloe.

Richmond English Classes CUT by Federal Government

2016-03-22T18:55:00.001-07:00

ISSBC, which runs LINC classes in Richmond, explained that the program is facing a nine per cent funding cut and will have to slice at least two of its current 21 LINC classes. The forced closure is expected to expand the waiting list for basic English classes which already has 335 people.

Both the Immigration Services Society of BC (ISSBC) and SUCCESS which run the non-profit Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) programs are in the process of figuring out how to deal with the reduction.

In Surrey, the wait list at SUCCESS English classes currently totals 1,300 people. According to CBC News, service providers have been told the federal government is reducing funding, based on landing numbers of immigrants and refugees in B.C.

How to use a Blacklist

2013-10-12T11:52:00.002-07:00

Just like everything in life you have to get as close as possible to the source of the information. If you can talk to the actual person - who made the comment or blacklist entry or review - then you have a better chance of evaluating how real the information is - how it applies to you or your situation and if this information should influence your plans.

Public Lists of Fines, Violations and Stop Operating Orders

There are several public lists of companies and individuals who have been convicted of criminal activity, fined for civil law violations or by-law infractions. These are similar to blacklists and many people use them as a source of information similar to blacklists.

YES - ESL in Canada has blacklists of schools, agents, teachers, homestay, service and product suppliers. You can add your actual experience to the blacklist or make a YouTube Video and send us the link.

Go to the links to ESL and English schools in Canada who have been stopped, fined or convicted of infractions:

Good News about English Schools in Canada

Some of the best ESL English teachers in the world are Canadians and they teach English in Canada. The professional English language schools pay teachers from $25 to 45 dollars per hour, have an excellent proven curriculum, use a variety of educational materials, integrate computer CALL programs and audio-visual formats into the teaching process.

The ESL teachers are experienced, certified and have a Tesl Canada rating based on education and experience. The schools provide orientation, homestay, activities and field trips for students. Students can improve their English skills and enjoy their participation in these excellent programs. International agents earn from
3 to 15% commission from these higher quality accredited ESL English schools.

Bad News about English Schools in Canada

English schools that operate only to make profit pay the teachers $10 to 14 dollars per hour, usually have no curriculum - they just use workbook series, they do not have libraries, or computer labs or audio-visual resources.

These poor value schools have larger classes with fewer facilities and less teaching resources. Some of these schools operate un-accredited TESL programs and use inexperienced unsupervised unpaid student teachers for their programs. These sham English language schools should be avoided.

There are a large number of agency owned schools in Canada. Some large agencies from Korea, China and South America have opened "insta-schools" and place students into these "so-called exclusive private schools".

Many of these insta-schools are temporary offices that have no programs, no history of operations, unqualified management and uncertified teachers. International agents earn from 40 to 50% commission from their own sham schools. The sham English language schools should be avoided.

Go to the
FAQS Page, Questions to Ask and Consumeralert for additional information.

Parents and Students should make up a long series of questions to know exactly what to expect and receive for your hard earned tuition fees. Students should talk to international students who have attended the school. Students attend regular classes as a trial lesson. Students should use a professional independent education consultant before registering at any private English language school in Canada.
