Learning and Development English Specialist
About the role
We're looking for a Learning & Development English Specialist to build and run our internal English learning program. You'll assess employees' current English level, design individualized learning plans based on their role and gaps, and track their progress over time.
This role is flexible in background: you could be a practicing English teacher who also wants to design structured programs, or an L&D / curriculum specialist with strong English expertise who prefers building plans and tracking outcomes over teaching lessons yourself. What matters most is that you understand how adults actually improve their English at work, and can turn that into a clear, trackable plan for each person.
What you'll do
- Assess the English level of employees (speaking, writing, listening, reading) using structured tests and/or live interviews, and map each person to a CEFR level (A1โC2).
- Design individual and group learning plans tailored to each employee's level, role, and goals (e.g. client communication, technical writing, business correspondence).
- Define clear milestones and success criteria for each learning plan.
- Track progress regularly โ re-assess levels periodically, adjust plans, and report on outcomes to management.
- Recommend or curate learning resources, materials, and exercises (courses, apps, practice sessions) matched to each plan.
- Optionally: conduct English classes/practice sessions yourself, or coordinate with external tutors/platforms if you're not teaching directly.
- Keep records of each employee's level, plan, and progress in a shared, organized format (spreadsheet, LMS, or similar).
- Collect feedback from employees and their managers to continuously improve the program.
What we're looking for
- Strong command of English yourself (C1/C2) โ written and spoken.
- Proven experience in at least one of: teaching English to adults, corporate L&D program design, or curriculum/course development.
- Familiarity with CEFR levels and standard English assessment approaches.
- Ability to design structured, goal-oriented learning plans โ not just generic materials, but plans tied to each person's real gaps and role.
- Comfortable tracking data and reporting on progress (spreadsheets, simple dashboards).
- Organized, self-driven, and able to manage a part-time program independently with minimal oversight.
- Good communication skills โ you'll be talking directly with employees about their level and progress, which requires tact and clarity.
Nice to have
- TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certification or equivalent.
- Experience working with tech/outsourcing or client-facing teams specifically (understanding of business/technical English needs).
- Experience with LMS platforms or corporate learning tools.
- Background in instructional design.
