Marisol, Python Tutor

Frequently Asked Questions

General

What locations can I teach?

We operate throughout the UK but those locations include: London, Surrey, Reading & Oxfordshire, Cambridge, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, High Wycombe, Ascot and Winchester (more locations TBA 2020).

What’s the difference between a residential camp and a day camp?

At our residential camps both tutors and students stay on site, all accommodation & meals are provided and pay is higher due to the bigger time commitment. At our day camps no accommodation/meals are provided- we all head home at the end of the day!

Do I need a DBS certificate & reference?

Yes, you will need a DBS certificate before you start working for us, however Fire Tech will provide & cover the costs of that check for you. You just need to be able to supply evidence that you have a UK address & meet the ID requirements (we will guide you through this). You will also need personal/professional references for us to check. If at the point of application you are waiting for them to confirm that you can use them as a referee, please lodge your application anyway and send through the reference details to opportunities@firetechcamp.com

Do you have any job opportunities overseas?

Yes we sometimes have awesome overseas opportunities for our tutors and teachers! We have sent people to the likes of France, Antigua, The Seychelles & Gibraltar, just to name a few!

I have more questions!

Feel free to give us a call on 02039507310, email opportunities@firetechcamp.com or chat to our Customer service team on our LiveChat- we are always happy to answer your questions!

What is a Fire Tech Experience?

Fire Tech Experiences are regular, super short, high-interest sessions about the very latest developments in technology on topics you will love. Designed and led by inspiring, enthusiastic experts, Fire Tech Experiences introduce you to new worlds and ideas from the comfort of home.

Tutor Info

What is the Tutor pay rate?

For our 5 day courses pay is between £400-£475 depending on the course hours, for our Weekend or After School Club sessions (1.5-2 hours) pay is £40 per session with opportunity for bonus if certain amount of sessions taught.

What is the time requirement?

For our week long courses they either run 9am-5pm or 10am- 4pm with the kids (but you’ll need to get there earlier to set up, and to have team debrief/pack down at the end of the day).

What is the difference between a Tutor and the Program Leader Role?

Our tutors teach our courses and need to have studied what they are teaching to the students at a university level. Our Program Leaders must have in depth experience with children (qualifications preferred), they oversee the running of the camp, are the Safeguarding & Paediatric Officers on site. They are responsible in making sure that everyone (students, parents & staff) are having a great Fire tech experience!

What training is provided?

Fire Tech will train you in how to teach our curriculum & deliver our pedagogy to children, Child Safeguarding, how to deliver a fantastic learning experience to our students and to be a great Fire Tech member! If you are a Program Leader you will also get Paediatric First Aid Training & further Safeguarding training.

What kind of courses will I teach?

Depending on what you are/have studied at University it could be anything across coding, robotics, electronics, digital music production, design etc. Don’t worry- we don’t make you teach anything that we don’t think you could handle- ie. you would not be teaching a Teen Python course unless you have learnt it to a satisfactory level!
