Class/Student Information
Pattison is primarily an IELTS/TOEFL training centre preparing teenagers through to adults with classes to prepare them for their study abroad. The majority of our students have a high level of English and can be engaged in discussion. Most of them stay with us just 3-6 months, and then go overseas, although quite a few return for classes throughout the vacation periods.

About our Foreign ESL Teacher Department
Our foreign teaching department is foreign managed and has a good reputation. Currently we have more than 30 foreign English teachers and more than 75% of them have chosen to stay with our Company more than a year, and around 50% have worked with our company for 2 years or more. As you probably know, this is pretty rare for English schools in China, or anywhere else in the world. So come and find out what the Pattison difference is.

What¡¯s out secret?
Ongoing support ¨C both inside and outside of the school
Training
We have professional training department dedicated to helping teachers achieve their best. This is offered both in regular group training seminars and on an individual basis. All members are actively encouraged to take part in this, both as a student and as a workshop leader.
Daily Troubleshooting in a Foreign Country
We have a skilled and friendly HR team established solely for our foreign teachers. They help foreign teachers with everything from airport pickup, finding an apartment, negotiating lease terms, orientation of the city, connecting to the internet, getting a local SIM card (all the basic necessities that we take for granted back home) to helping with communication, finalizing contracts, obtaining our work permits and visas.

Pattison Education Group Introduction
Pattison Education Group in Northeastern China currently takes up 60% of the Northeastern education market, and 70% in the Harbin English education market. From its opening in 2008 until now, we have achieved many firsts in English training tests as well as business English, as well as won many national awards for achievements as a business as well as a training centre. Pattison has been honoured as China's excellent foreign language training institution and the nation- university students¡¯ most influential foreign language training institutions; as well as ¡®Excellent Foreign Language Training Institution¡¯ by ¡®China Annual Education Committee¡¯.

Why choose DaQing?
DaQing, also known as the city of 100 lakes, was officially named the provincial ecological city of the year and ranked in the top 20 cleanest cities in China. It lays in the heart of inactive, dormant volcanoes, so is abounding in natural hot springs.
In the winter, it¡¯s also a perfect launching spot for skiing, with plenty of ski resorts close by at very affordable prices (usually around RMB100-150 for a day pass and travel).
It¡¯s a small green oil town (well, small for China - with a population of just 3 million) and was crucial city in the 1970¡¯s industrialization of China.
Why choose a smaller city?
While Pattison's salaries aren't as high as the major cities in China, they're still competitive as Harbin's cost of living is much lower than other cities. Most people generally save more than half of their salary each month and that's including rent, entertainment, food and transport. It also provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in Chinese culture and provides plenty of opportunity for you to fine tune your Chinese skills.
