Beijing: Unique Opportunity to Teach Young Learners and Adults at a Prestigious Language School: 14 to 17,000 Rmb + Benefits

The Job

We are now holding interviews for qualified English teachers to teach at our language schools in Beijing. Our students are aged from 3 to adults, although the majority of students are young learners. We warmly welcome teachers who thrive on inspiring English learners to join our energetic, creative team.

We offer a combination of the highest educational standards and our classes encourage children to explore, participate and cooperate in a caring and supportive environment. Teachers will be teaching a maximum of 25 hours per week during weekday evenings and weekends and with no office hours. Class size ranges from 20 to 25 students. Communicating with parents to provide feedback and organize parents meeting periodically will also be one of the responsibilities. We deliver both 1-on-1 and larger classes, with an average of 10 students per class, which allows teachers to really get to know their students and provide tailored lessons based on each student’s learning needs.

We value the unique developmental process and inherent potential in each child. By educating with us, families leave the legacy for their children with a rich set of abilities and responsibilities, including independence, problem solving skills, creative thinking, love and caring mindset, and a sense of responsibility.

Beijing – The City
Beijing, capital of the People’s Republic of China, is the nation’s political, economic, cultural, educational and international trade and communication center. Located in northern China, close to the port city of Tianjin and partially surrounded by Hebei province, Beijing continues to be an exciting place for all things music, fashion and art with plenty of events and shows to attend.

There is a thriving expat community in Beijing, with the Sanlitun area being a popular destination for both expats and trendy locals to mix and mingle over drinks. One of the most important landmarks in the city is Tiananmen Square. This is the world’s largest public square and a must see for all visitors from abroad and from other places in China.
