| Abstracts: | The Olympiad movement is a system of intellectual competitions recognized by the world community. In modern Russia, for the first time in the history of the Olympiad movement, humanitarian subjects appeared in the competition program, including English in 1998. Over the years of the evolution of tests on this global language, the content of sets of control and measuring materials has significantly changed, among which creative tasks have appeared aimed at developing creativity, critical thinking, logic. As part of our research, we analyze the principles of successful training of a typical Olympiad, and the goal is reflected in the definition of the professional roles of teachers that schoolchildren face in the Olympiad movement. Methodologically, the study is built on the principles of systemic, activity, axiological and cultural approaches. We use the following theoretical methods: the study of scientific literature on the topic, generalization, categorization. In addition, we applied empirical methods: studying the regulatory documents of the Olympiad movement, conversation, polling, questioning, ranking. An online questionnaire was conducted for schoolchildren who took part in the Olympiad in the 2022-2023 academic year. As part of the study, we identified the following professional roles: a school teacher, a teacher of language courses, an Olympiad tutor, a native teacher, a private tutor, and a diploma student. Theoretical significance is refracted in justifying the professional roles of teachers who are involved in the Olympiad movement. We distinguish the role of an Olympiad tutor, describe its functionality, explain the prerequisites for its importance for winning diplomas by pupils of an educational institution. The results of the study can be used by educational institutions to reform the organization of the Olympiad movement at school. At a more global level, the data obtained by us can lead to the creation of advanced training programs in pedagogical universities, as well as the consideration of the functionality of coaches in the framework of obtaining higher education for pedagogical professions.
