The Job

Our English training center is now looking for dynamic, creative and qualified English teachers to teach our motivated young learners and adults in Yangzhou, China. Established in 1998, we have expanded all over the country with over 50 branches now. In Yangzhou, we started in 2008 with 3 branches and are proud to say we now have over 2,000 students with a team of 30 local teachers and 12 foreign teachers in the city alone.

We are looking for foreign teachers who are able to create a fun, dynamic and exciting learning environment for young learners and are able to teach adults learners to communicate effectively. Teachers are expected to prepare some language activities and stories relevant to the lesson topics. With adult learners, there will be group discussions and group work.

We use course materials published by Longman and aside from the textbooks provided, local and foreign teachers have the freedom to create their own teaching materials and activities based on the needs of the students. Each classroom is equipped with a computer so teachers can make use of PowerPoint presentations and multimedia related to the lessons.

Yangzhou – The City
Yangzhou has a history of almost 2,500 years and is located by the Yangtze River, not far from Shanghai, in Jiangsu province. It has been a leading economic and cultural center and a major port for foreign trade since the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907).

Yangzhou is rich in scenic spots and there are many Suzhou-style gardens worth seeing, with Geyuan the most famous one. There are also several other gardens, one temple and one museum. Nightlife in Yangzhou is very colorful. Yangzhou snack streets, cinemas, theatres, bars and cafés are where you may go to enjoy the nightlife in Yangzhou if you are in the mood. Today, more and more locals head to bars and cafes after work to wind down after a long day. Students also head to the snack streets to spend a weekend night.

Yangzhou plays a very important role in China and the world. In 1982, it was listed as the first State Historic cities and in 2004 Yangzhou was recognized as one of the State Human Living Environment Cities.
