English Teacher Jobs in Brooklyn, NY

An English Teacher in secondary education is responsible for planning and delivering lessons that help students develop their reading comprehension, writing, and literary analysis skills. They prepare coursework, assign and correct homework, and assess students through exams and essays. English Teachers also foster critical thinking and discussion by introducing students to a wide range of texts from various genres and periods. They play a significant role in preparing students for college level English and ensuring their literacy skills are refined for the professional workplace. Besides, they may also provide additional support for students who are struggling, and work collaboratively with parents and other educators to enhance students' learning experience.

To be successful as an English Teacher, one should possess strong communication and organizational skills. They must have excellent command on English language and grammar, and be able to engage and motivate students. They should be creative, patient, and have a deep understanding of the learning needs and abilities of students at different ages. A Bachelor's degree in English or a related field is typically required, and most schools also require a teaching certification. Prior experience as a Teaching Assistant or a Tutor can be beneficial. Some professionals might work as a Substitute Teacher, gaining classroom experience and improving their teaching skills, before moving into a full-time English Teacher role.
