Overview

Our International Business & Finance course introduces students aged 14–18 to the interconnected world of global markets. Through engaging activities, case studies, and guided discussions, students explore how economies, industries, and cultures are linked across borders. They take on the perspective of global strategists, learning how organisations expand internationally, navigate trade regulations, adapt to shifting economic environments, and leverage innovation and diplomacy. The course helps students understand how business decisions are shaped on the world stage and how financial insight supports strategic growth.

For this position, we are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced tutor to deliver the Business component of the course, which takes place over the first five days of the nine‑day teaching course. As the Business Tutor, you will shape students’ understanding of how organisations operate and compete globally. You will design interactive sessions, lead debates and discussions, and guide students through case studies that build real‑world insight. While the course as a whole combines both business and finance, your responsibility will be solely the Business strand, working alongside a separate Finance Tutor who will take over for the final four days.

You will be provided with a full course handbook and approximately 80% of the waxaad content, with 20% left flexible for you to adapt based on your expertise and teaching style. If you require any additional teaching materials, classroom resources, or further clarification regarding the handbook or programme content, please inform the OSP staff in advance so we can provide timely support.

• Deliver a set 5‑day lectures: deliver interactive and engaging 1.5 hours of morning lectures to students, covering topics such as:
  • Entrepreneurship and Market Analysis
  • Innovation & Creativity in Business
  • MNCs & Global Supply Chains
  • Business Models & Value Proposition
• Provide hands‑on workshops in addition to lectures: Lead immersive 2‑hour afternoon workshops designed to deepen students’ understanding of the morning content. Use case studies, debates, simulations, and strategy exercises to encourage critical discussion, develop global‑thinking skills, conduct knowledge‑application tasks, and provide personalised feedback. Teaching Assistants (TAs) will support workshop delivery, and you will be expected to guide and train them beforehand.
• Administrative Duties: review and organise all required equipment, resources, and classroom materials to ensure sessions run smoothly and effectively.
• Foster a positive learning environment: build a warm, inclusive classroom where students feel confident, motivated, and encouraged to share ideas and learn collaboratively.
• Promote university‑style teaching and independent learning: lead sessions that reflect undergraduate academic practices, helping students experience authentic university‑level study while strengthening their critical thinking and research abilities.
• Complete required training: engage with our induction to learn our logistical requirements, company procedures, and safeguarding responsibilities.
• Provide training to the Teaching Assistants (TAs): provide course guidance, expectations, and task‑specific instructions to TAs so they can effectively assist with workshops and student support.
• Prioritise student wellbeing: remain vigilant to any welfare or safeguarding issues, raising concerns promptly to ensure students’ safety.
