The Job

We are looking for experienced, outgoing English teachers who can inspire our adult students to learn while ensuring they have a great time doing so.

Are you looking to develop your career in one of China’s metropolitan cities, working alongside an international team of teachers where every day at work you will be making a real difference? If so, we have just the job for you.

The Schools

The schools are some of the world’s most successful private language schools operating globally with a dominant presence in China.

They are located in the major metropolitan cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Tangshan and many more. Each city offers its own unique attractions and delights. More detailed information on what each city has to offer will be sent following your application.

The schools offer a modern and friendly environment for adult students to learn English with the focus on developing communication skills in a natural and authentic context.

The Students

Students are typically 20 to 35 years old professionals, well educated and from a wide variety of backgrounds. They are motivated to learn English and recognise it as a skill essential for their career development. Levels range from beginner right through to advanced and all students are clearly placement tested to ensure they are studying alongside students of the same abilities.

The Courses

Standard Classes

Class sizes are kept small to an average of 6 students per class, which helps ensure real progress is made by all and allows for easy classroom management.

Lessons are made up of a variety of teaching materials and are designed to be engaging and communicative. Teachers guide students through both controlled practice and authentic conversation activities. All the lesson materials are already in place, so minimal lesson planning is required.

A Social Setting

Teachers also run sessions with more of a social focus, designed to further give students the opportunity to use their language in a natural setting, while having fun at the same time. Topics are limited only by your imagination and can be anything from baking cookies to speed dating.

As with all language schools, classes are delivered on evenings and weekends, giving teachers plenty of time off during weekday mornings and afternoons.

Professional Development

You will not only be teaching, but also developing your own skill sets and competencies. Teacher training and support is central to the schools ethos. Through workshops, seminars and class observations you will be constantly expanding the teaching methods at your disposal. Time is devoted to idea and experience sharing so you always have fresh ideas to work with.
