Guelph ON NG S, Canada Summit College, Academic & Career Studies Full time

Instructor – Summit College

About Us

Summit College is a regulated Ontario Career College with six locations across Ontario. Our mission is simple yet powerful:

"Fuel lifelong success by empowering people with skills and awareness to reach higher personal potential."

We take a holistic approach to learning, with a student-to-teacher ratio of no more than 5-to-1, allowing us to provide personalized support, flexibility, and a learning environment where students thrive.

The Role

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Instructor to facilitate, teach, and inspire students across a variety of programs, including:

  • Microsoft Office (Word, Excel)
  • Academic upgrading (Math, English, ESL)
  • Career-focused diploma and certificate programs (e.g., Customer Service, Office Administration)

This is not a traditional front-of-class teaching role in a large school. Summit operates on a smaller scale, with office-style classrooms and typically just one or two instructors on site (with the opportunity to expand staff as enrollment grows). For the right candidate, this means independence, ownership, and the chance to make a direct impact. Students work at individual stations, and the instructor circulates to check in, answer questions, provide feedback, and guide them through their program. Some students work independently, while others require more one-on-one support—allowing you to build meaningful connections and see real progress.

Responsibilities include:

  • Supporting students one-on-one and helping them set achievable goals
  • Marking work and providing feedback
  • Preparing Summit's ready-made resources and materials
  • Writing progress reports, completing assessments, and collaborating with funding agents
  • Working with continuous student intakes, where enrollment and duration vary based on program and goals

Hours: Classes run 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., typically divided into morning (8:00–11:00) and afternoon (11:30–2:30) shifts.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has strong emotional intelligence and can build rapport with students navigating life transitions
  • Demonstrates patience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for learning
  • Enjoys working with diverse groups of students of varying ages, skill levels, and challenges

Requirements

  • Ontario diploma or degree from a post-secondary institution (required)
  • Adult Education degree (preferred)
  • Strong ability to build rapport and motivate students
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel
  • Openness to ongoing learning and professional growth

Why Join Us?

At Summit, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in students' lives. With our low student-to-instructor ratio, you'll see the impact of your guidance every day. This role is ideal for educators who want to move away from traditional lecturing and into a more personalized, student-centered teaching model.
