Forwards Language Academy, Hohhot, Is Now Hiring!

 
Forwards Language Academy, Hohhot, is now hiring! Good salary, accommodation, flight allowance, working visa, insurance, airport pickup and Chinese lessons all included!

Forwards Language Academy (est. 2011) is a quality-oriented language training school with over 30 years of combined industry experience. We aim to provide a great place to learn and a great place to work, and pride ourselves on the quality of service that we provide.

Covering 1200m2 in a newly developed international building, Forwards Language Academy is located in the business centre of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Hohhot is a modern city with a local charm, from the big brand shopping (H&M, Gucci, etc) and streets (partly) lined with Land Rovers, to the genuine traditional food and local culture, relatively unchanged despite embracing so much of modern western culture. Hohhot is small compared to Beijing or Shanghai, with all the convenience that brings (no hour-long traffic jams, no expensive taxi rides to work, etc.), but big enough for years of exploring (start with the mountain range overlooking the city from the north). Hohhot's location makes it the ideal place to teach if you wish to experience the 'real' China, while staying within touching distance of Beijing.

Distinctively western in design, the school features a foreign teacher's office, multi-purpose room, pc lab, conference room, club/cafe rest area with Wi-Fi, and is a 3 minute walk from Starbucks, BK, and KFC, not to mention a variety of local cuisine including Han, Hui, and Mongolian.
