3 Native English Teachers Needed for Government Schools

3 Native English Teachers needed for government schools starting in February 2014 in Dongying City, Shandong Province, China

Our school, Golden Bridge Training Centre (GBTC) of Shengli Oilfield, has close connections with the local Education department. We provide Oral English teachers to various primary and middle schools in the Dongying and Yellow River mouth region. Dongying is a modern city located close to the famous Yellow River mouth; traditional villages also surround the city. It is only 5 hours by bus or a quick 45 minute flight to Beijing; we also have daily flights to Shanghai, less than 2 hours. Flights to Dalian and Chongqing have also recently started.

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 3rd year in Dongying with GBTC). We focus on providing interesting and enjoyable classes to young learners between the ages of 6 and 16 years. We have also recently introduced an adult teaching program.

Due to a recent expansion, we are now seeking 3 new teachers to join our team of 12 Foreign Teachers. Ideally you will have teaching experience in China, another foreign country or even in your own country. A degree in any discipline is required, TESOL or equivalent certification is also desirable and/or previous teaching experience is also welcome.

An ability to plan and deliver classes which encourage student participation is essential. For teachers who have limited experience we will provide ongoing training to assist with your own growth as a teacher. A Chinese assistant is also provided for each class.

The hours for these positions will generally be Monday to Friday with 4 or 5 classes per day spread between morning and afternoon. Each class is usually 40-45 minutes. Overtime and extra classes are also sometimes available. The salary range for these positions is 6000-8000 Yuan per month depending on experience and qualifications. The cost of living in Dongying is very low, and many of our teachers are able to save a good portion of their salary each month.

The school also provides a free private apartment, utilities, computer with internet, a free Chinese class every week for those who would like to study and a dedicated foreign teacher to assist you with settling in and during your stay in Dongying. Medical and accident insurance is provided for all our teachers. We will also enjoy regular outings to show you around the local area. Our teachers also enjoy a 4-5 week winter break and around 2 months in summer plus other standard Chinese public holidays. An airfare allowance (8000 Yuan) is paid at the end of a 1 year contract.

To apply please e-mail your resume, a brief covering letter, references and your passport information page plus a recent photo to Adam Lunn on this address:
