Shane English School
English Teachers Needed
Shane English School Hangzhou is a franchise of the wider Shane English Schools company. This company was established in 1977 and has over 250 schools in Japan, Taiwan, China, Poland, and Vietnam. Shane English Schools China started operating in 2000 and there is now a network of over 17 schools spread throughout the country, in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and of course, Hangzhou.
Our school is professionally run with joint Western and Chinese management so teachers receive the benefits of working at an internationally owned company and we rarely experience the communication difficulties, so often seen when working a living in a foreign country.
SESC Hangzhou first opened in 2002 and works in partnership with Zhejiang Cherry Foreign language school, a long established private language school with an excellent reputation throughout Zhejiang province. We currently have eight teachers hailing from America, England and Canada. We currently have over 900 students and are always looking to grow and expand. We specialize in teaching 6- 18 year olds, although we do have plenty of Kindergarden, one-to-one's and adult VIP classes.
We are looking for new teachers who are creative, energetic, hardworking and outgoing. Teaching experience is not necessary; however we are looking for people who are passionate about working with children and young people.
One of the best things about our school is the atmosphere of friendship around the place, and our teachers really enjoy living and working here. We all socialise, help each other out and all of our teachers are given the support they need to enjoy their adventures in China and become great teachers. The Chinese staff are also unbelievably helpful; if you need something translating, want to buy a bike, need to know how to get a bus somewhere- they will help you with everything Chinese.
You will be expected to teach for a maximum of 18 hours per week which equates to 72 hours per month. This may not sound like much, but we expect teacher's to properly plan and prepare their lessons so in reality the hours are more than this. You will have two consecutive days off each week, so you will still have plenty of time to meet new people and explore the city.
How much will I get paid?
Our teachers receive a basic salary of 6600RMB per month. The school will also provide teachers with an allowance to buy a bike, should they so wish to.
I have an EFL certificate (TEFL, TEOSL, CELTA or DELTA)
If you have an EFL certificate then we will automatically increase your salary to 6850 RMB per month.
How many hours will I be expected to work?
You are expected to work 18 hours per week and 72 hours per month. This doesn't sound like much, but when class planning time is added to that, it is a full-time job, especially at the weekends, which is our busiest time. That said, there is plenty of time left over to experience Hangzhou and China.
Is there a housing allowance?
Yes, the school also provides an extra 1000 RMB per month as a housing allowance.
Will I be provided with an apartment?
Yes. The school owns two, two bedroom apartments which it rents out to teachers.
Will someone meet me at the airport?
Yes. Someone from you school will meet you at the airport (usually Shanghai) and bring you back to the School. The office staff will then provide you with a sim-card, some bedding and everything else you need for your first few days in a new city/country.
Is there a flight bonus?
Each teacher receives a 4000 RMB flight bonus at the end of each one year contract.
Are there any office hours?
You are not expected to complete any office hours, leaving you with the freedom to plan your classes at home/ Starbucks or by the beautiful West Lake. There are however workshop sessions/ event planning meetings which you will be expected to attend.
What about a visa?
The school will provide you with a valid "z" (work) visa and a foreign expert's certificate. This means that you can enter/exit the country as much as you like during your time here.
Apply
We are only able to accept applications from people, with at least under-graduate degrees, from the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. If you are interested in becoming part of our dynamic, exciting and welcoming team then please send the following documents
