English Language Teachers Needed

We need new teachers to start immediately

Enhance Education Sdn Bhd specialises in teaching English. We have three teaching centres in Penang State with a total enrolment of more than 1300 students per term. In all centres we provide high-quality English language courses in spacious, well-equipped classrooms using interactive student-centred teaching methods. Our courses cover all ages and levels from age 4 years to adults, but there is especially strong demand from pre-school and school students.

We seek teachers who meet all these essential criteria:

1. Substantial experience of teaching English to children aged 4 to 17 years;

2. Native English speaker with a university degree in any subject;

3. CELTA or Trinity London CertTESOL or direct equivalent with a substantial element of classroom experience. We do not accept solely on-line certificates.

We need people who can relate well to young children and who have an active and lively teaching style. We use a range of well-known coursebooks but teachers can draw on our data-bank for supplementary materials and have considerable freedom in planning lessons. Most of our students are part-time and study with us for 2 hours per week. This means that most classes are held at weekends and on some weekday evenings. Nonetheless we do guarantee all teachers two consecutive rest days each week, usually on Mondays and Tuesdays.

We offer a professionally supportive environment and a locally competitive pay and benefits package including health insurance and pension premiums. Depending on qualifications and experience most starting salaries are from RM7,250 per monthwith additions of a 12% pension supplement and an RM500 location allowance for the mainland: a total package of RM8,620 per month. Assistance with relocation and settlement costs is available.

Our three centres are located in Straits Quay Marina on Penang Island, and on the mainland in Butterworth (Bagan Ajam) and Bukit Mertajam (Alma). All are close to residential and shopping areas with a wide range of affordable condos having good facilities such as pool and gym. Commuting to all centres is quite easy and no matter where you teach you can choose to live on either Penang Island or on the mainland.
