Activity Manager in Liverpool

We run junior summer courses for English language students aged between 9 - 18. We have students from all over the world, with the majority being Italian, but also including students from Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Argentina, and Cyprus. Students usually stay for two weeks and take part in a mixed programme of lessons and activities/excursions run by Activity Leaders.

Our Mission: At Target English International, we aim to provide our students with a comfortable and caring setting in the UK to improve their communication in English and develop skills for a more global society. We want our students to leave the course with a better understanding of UK culture and the inspiration to become life-long learners of English.
