The Job

We are now recruiting energetic passionate English language teachers. Our high academic standards and enjoyable learning environment have established us as the number one language school in Fuzhou. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to work in an established school with exceptional resources and a supportive teaching team.

Established in 2002, this school has continued to expand and shape English Education in Fuzhou. With a strong emphasis on the quality of the education we provided our students we have continued to help teach young learners valuable skills to help them both in and out of the classroom.

We offer courses to students from 4-16 years old. We are constantly developing and refining our curriculum, to tailor it to the specific needs of Chinese learners. We will never resort to ‘cramming’. Learning a language is not an overnight process and cramming vocabulary is no substitute for authentic use of language. This approach has helped us to grow, and at the moment we have five branches in Fuzhou's city center and over 60 full-time native English speaking teachers.
