Early Years English Teacher

Join the Renaissance: Early Years ESL Teacher at Sun Preschool

Location: Bahçeşehir, Istanbul

Age Groups: 2–5 Years Old


About the Opportunity

Sun International Preschool is a school with a rich, 30-year history in Bahçeşehir. Recently, we have entered a brand-new chapter. Under new ownership and visionary leadership, we are currently in the midst of a complete revitalization . While we are an established name, we are currently "rolling up our sleeves" to restore this school to its former glory and beyond. We are heavily investing in our facilities, our curriculum, and—most importantly—our people. We aren't perfect yet, but we are committed to becoming the best early-learning environment in the region.


We aren't looking for someone to just fill a seat; we are looking for a founding-spirit teacher to help us build this future.


The Role

As our Early Years English Teacher, you will be the voice of English in our school. You will work with four age groups (Buds to Butterflies), creating a warm, play-based environment where language learning feels like an adventure.


You will:


  • Design & Deliver: Create engaging, interactive English experiences through play, music, and storytelling.
  • Collaborate: Partner with our Turkish-speaking staff to build a cohesive, bilingual daily flow.
  • Shape the Culture: As we rebuild our systems, your feedback and creativity will directly influence how our English program evolves.
  • Connect: Participate in parent engagement and contribute to our monthly family magazine.


What We Are Looking For

Because we are in a growth and transformation phase, we need someone who is adaptable, patient, and excited by progress.


Essential:


  • Native or near-native English proficiency.
  • Experience teaching young children (ages 2-5).
  • A "Builder" Mindset: You enjoy being part of a school that is improving every day.
  • Creative, energetic, and patient teaching style.
  • Reliable commute to Bahçeşehir, Istanbul.


Preferred:


  • Degree in Education or Early Childhood Development.
  • TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certification.
  • Experience with play-based or inquiry-based learning.


Why Join Us Now?

Joining a "perfect" school is easy, but joining a school in its investment and growth phase is where you can make the biggest impact.


  • Be a Part of the Transformation: See your ideas come to life as we upgrade our environment and materials.
  • Creative Freedom: We value fresh ideas over rigid, outdated scripts.
  • Investment in You: As we grow, we want our core team to grow with us into leadership roles.
  • Small, Supportive Community: Work directly with owners who are passionate, present, and dedicated to excellence.
  • Authenticity: We are honest about where we are and where we are going.


Ready to Build Something Special?

If you have a heart for early childhood education and the energy to help us write this next chapter, we want to meet you.


To Apply: Please send your CV and a brief note about why you’re interested in joining a school during an exciting period of change.
