The Jobs
Our school is now holding interviews for qualified English teachers who have a passion for teaching young learners between 3 to 17 years old. Established in 2002, we have more than 500 students with 9 foreign teachers and 6 local Chinese teachers here at our school in Ningbo, China. Our foreign teachers are encouraged to incorporate their own creativity and personality with our modern teaching materials to provide a unique learning experience for our students. If you have the enthusiasm, patience and energy to meaningfully engage students and can work well with an international team of teachers and local staff, we would like to talk with you.

We are truly a global company, established in 1965 and now with over 400 centers around the world. We opened its first school in China in 2001 and have since established ourselves as the market leader for private language learning with over 150 schools, employing over a thousand teachers.

Course materials & technology
Popular with students and teachers alike, our course books have been developed by a dedicated team of linguistic and educational experts. Course books are accompanied by a wide range of supplementary materials including flashcards, posters, handouts, CD’s, videos, songs and in-class computer applications, all essential for teachers to deliver varied and engaging classes. Teachers make use of a variety of activities such as role plays, group work, competitions, drama, stories and songs to bring the classes to life. The class sizes are kept small, to an average of 8-12 students, which allows for noticeable progress to be made and also makes classroom management that much easier.

Ningbo – The City

Ningbo is one of China’s oldest cities but has gone through plenty of changes in recent years. It is an economic center and has become the most developed city in Zhejiang province, just South of Shanghai on the East coast. The city has wonderful natural, cultural landscapes and historical sites to visit. The Tainyi Chamber was built in 1516 and is said to be the oldest surviving library building in China.

The weather in Ningbo is subtropical with humidity and distinctive seasons. Ningbo also has a well-developed and easily accessible transportation system. The school is located in a high-class neighborhood with shopping, restaurants and movie theater within walking distance or a short taxi ride. This city is famous for its rich history and various cultures and it has been acclaimed as “the state of cultural relics”. As a prosperous city in Zhejiang Province, this is one of the most visited places in Eastern China by tourists.
