The Job
We are looking for teachers with the professionalism and patience required to teach young learners, teenagers & adults in Chengdu and nearby cities. At our language school, we teach mainly young learners English through our fun and well developed curriculum, and we also teach some adults & teenage students. Our standardized curriculum & lesson plans have been perfected over the last 5 years. Your job will be to edit and adapt lesson plans to more suitably fit your students needs and make the preparations (such as handicrafts) to enliven the class and ensure they progress in all areas of English language learning.

In the classroom you will lead a group of no more than 8 students on a quest to use, practice and perfect their English. Depending on the age and ability of the students you will use the schools resources to teach using song, dance, flashcards, electronic whiteboards, student books, work books and many other excellent teaching materials and aids we have. Where possible and depending on the weather we try to take students out of the classroom form time to time. That could mean a trip to IKEA to go over furniture vocabulary, to the park to see trees, leaves and flowers or taking part in lots of regular activities we have such as our annual Halloween and sports day activities.

We hope you are ambitious and want to challenge yourself not only in the classroom but in a new country. You will be supported by senior managers and senior teachers and will get training in our system as well as ESL fundamentals before embarking on what we promise is a great job and wonderful way to explore this beautiful country! People looking to take on the adventure of living and working abroad are welcome to apply.
