The Job

Our language center is now recruiting qualified English teachers who are patient, outgoing and enjoy working with young learners. Our students are aged between 3 to 17 years old. We currently have 3 branches in China’s most vibrant and progressive city – Shanghai. Established in 2005, we have more than 500 students and a dynamic team of 4 foreign teachers and 10 local teachers. As we plan to expand, we are looking for more talents to be a part of our team. If you have the right qualifications and willingness to learn, we would like to hear from you.

We offer a unique system of teaching that combines fun and effective learning to keep young learners interested and engaged. We focus not only on providing professional language classes, but also in giving room for young learners to fully understand and enjoy the western culture. We have a team of professional trainers that will equip our teachers, with or without any teaching experience, to become more effective provider of education inside the classroom. We strive to keep the right balance in our language teaching through listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar. Our curriculum has been developed for over 9 years and we are still continually improving it to provide better education. Our course materials include Let’s Go, Happy World, Side by Side and plenty of other textbooks created and published by the school. Foreign teachers are encouraged to be creative in their approach to teaching through the use of rhymes, chants, songs, story-telling, games, multimedia and interactive whiteboards. Local teaching assistants will be available inside the classrooms to help in maintaining classroom order.

Shanghai – The City

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Shanghai is truly an international metropolis in every sense of the word. The most vibrant and progressive city in China, Shanghai is the economic and cultural center, blending an incredible mix of Eastern and Western culture. On one side of the mighty Yangtze River flowing through Shanghai is the Pu Dong district, rural farm land just 20 years ago, it is now the financial and commercial hub with skyscrapers stretching ever higher. Along the western bank of the river, the iconic Bund is a reminder of Shanghai’s colonial past featuring grand European architecture.

For those who like to shop, party and eat, Shanghai has all you could possibly want and more. But despite its cosmopolitan reputation, pockets of quaint tradition remain alive and well, dotted throughout the city. Explore countless old markets, back streets crammed with local eateries and discover incense filled temples still central to the locals’ daily life.
