2 Native English Speakers Needed for Primary School Positions in Dongying, Shandong Province

Our school, Golden Bridge Training Centre (GBTC) of Shengli Oilfield, has close connections with the local Education Department in Dongying. We provide oral English teachers to various primary and middle schools in the Dongying and Yellow River mouth region, as well as running English courses on our own school campus. With a history of over 10 years, GBTC has previously employed a number of foreign teachers, many of whom have stayed multiple years, including myself (I am currently serving my 5th year in Dongying with GBTC). We focus on providing interesting and enjoyable classes to young learners between the ages of 6 and 16 years.

Dongying itself is a modern city located close to the famous Yellow River mouth. It is a typical Chinese city with an abundance of great restaurants, shops and things to do around the city. There is also a strong, ever-growing community of teachers who regularly organise activities throughout the year, such as visits to water parks, walking around traditional villages, quiz nights and plenty more. If you would like to travel during the school holidays, it is only 5 hours by bus or a quick 45 minute flight to Beijing; we also have daily flights to Shanghai, Dalian, Chongqing and Haikou with new destinations being added all the time. Shandong itself is also incredibly beautiful, and Dongying has plenty of buses running around the province, should you wish to explore it.
