A message from the principal

Hi, my name is Adam, founder and principal of Leading English Learning Center (LELC). I am writing this letter trying to recruit some native-speaking English teachers for LELC here in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Thank you for your time and patience reading it.

Leading English is a language school founded and run by myself since 2001, after I returned from a stay in Wisconsin and Virginia for 5 years during 95 to 2000. From 3 kids up to now over 2500 students, 3 campuses and 50 full-time English teachers, I feel proud and grateful to able to invite you to come and teach at this well-established, independent English learning center.

More about me, Principal Adam:

My purpose is to establish more direct relationships with American schools and to make my business more international. I know many well run private-owned language schools like Leading English are the bridges between the two different cultures. So, in November 2013, I visited many US cities like LA , DC, NY, Boston, visiting 12 different schools from K-12, universities like Stanford, Princeton, MIT and Harvard, meeting my students studying in the States, and talking to some of the teachers there of course:). I feel my trip was helpful, fruitful and successful.

In May 2014, I represented my school at the Scripps Int'l Spelling Bee Final in Washington DC with my national champion student, Xiyuan Wang. He ranked No 47 out of 281 top spellers worldwide! What a great experience!
Now, in March 2015, I will lead some of our top students going inside the UN to attend the great event MMUN, with 2000 other students from all over the world.

I hope your expertise will help me to further advance the achievements and reputation of LELC in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Yedong Chen/Adam
Principal
