The Job

Our company is now looking for committed, patient and flexible teachers who have strong passion for teaching. We have students from a different variety of age groups starting from young learners to adults. We currently hold the “Chinese-Foreign Cooperative-Run School” license granted by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. We are now recruiting for teachers for different subjects such as English language, English Literature, Physics, Mathematics, Science, Art and PE. If you are qualified to teach any of the subjects above, we would like to invite you for an interview.

We were founded by an Australian institution in 2002 with the goal to deliver language training, training programs for primary and secondary teachers and industry training programs. Aside from our international educational and cultural exchange programs with various overseas schools and other international educational institutions around the world, we also assist many public and prestigious private schools in China by providing them with qualified foreign teachers, professional on-going teacher training and curriculum design.

We provide excellent professional training to our foreign teachers every month. Foreign teachers are encouraged to provide a warm learning environment with a lot of opportunities for young learners to interact with one another. Teachers are given the freedom to explore their creativity in the classroom as long as they adhere to the course outline and the curriculum. We also provide well-researched course materials from the United States which are age-appropriate. There will be local teaching assistants available in the classroom for classes that involve young learners.

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.
