      Pros

      Get to visit cool places Colleagues are fun Students are generally great Very flexible work Great rates of pay for day excursions and parties Plenty of work available Weekly pay

      Cons

      Rates of pay less good for hourly activities and didn’t always feel worth it Residential trips seem likes a good deal but are actually paid very unfairly Management varies massively on a person to person basis

      We are currently recruiting Activity Leaders for summer roles in our schools so thanks for sharing so other job seekers can see! The people you get to meet, flexibility and availability of work, and opportunities to take part in unique excursions are things others have definitely said they love about the role, too. We have also shared your constructive points with the EF Language Abroad team in the UK. Thanks again for the time you spent with EF and for the feedback.

      Tour leader

      Pros

      You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

      Cons

      Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
