About LWL Education

We would love to introduce you to LWL Education Centre. LWL is a language, arts, and enrichment education centre serving children ages 3–13 in Vancouver, Richmond, and online.

We believe children learn best when they are engaged, active, curious, and having fun. Our classes are designed to build confidence, creativity, communication skills, and a love of learning in a warm and supportive environment.

We are currently expanding our Dunbar location and are looking for enthusiastic, experienced instructors who love working with children and have a background in fitness, movement, performing arts, sports, or children's enrichment programming.

- Fitness or children's exercise programs
- Sports or recreational activities
- Gymnastics or movement-based programming
- Other structured physical or performing arts activities

If you have a specialty that isn't listed above but you have experience leading engaging activities for children, we'd still love to hear from you.

The Role

Instructors will lead engaging activities for children approximately ages 3–13 during our weekday after-school programming.

- The ability to confidently lead a group of children
- A warm, energetic, patient, and encouraging personality
- The ability to keep children engaged while maintaining appropriate structure and boundaries

Relevant certifications, education, or professional experience in areas such as fitness, kinesiology, education, early childhood education, dance, theatre, martial arts, or recreation are an asset.
