Mathematics
There is a huge demand for mathematics teachers at international schools. They are much-needed to help young people develop their skills of logical problem-solving. Ongoing technological developments mean we will need many scientists and mathematicians in the future, and you can be the one to help educate them.

ITESS helps you to become a good mathematician, a fine teacher, and a source of inspiration to your students.
Science
Technological and scientific discoveries are rapidly changing the world. To face the global challenges of the 21st century, we need citizens who have a basic understanding of science. ITESS makes sure that student teachers obtain a helicopter view of the main science concepts to teach pupils aged 11-14.
