ESL Jobs in Changzhou & Ningbo
We are holding interviews for English teachers to join our English language school in Changzhou and Ningbo. Our focus has always been on providing quality lessons to students, young and old alike. We recognize that good lessons require good teachers; therefore, we provide excellent training, ongoing development as well as opportunities for promotion and advancement.
Our school has a staff of native English speakers, hailing from the United States, the UK, Canada and South Africa. They are ably assisted by the dedicated support staff of local Chinese Teaching Assistants. As well as offering classes at our own locations, we also teach classes in a variety of schools and kindergartens around Changzhou, increasing the exposure of students in the city to the English language and the Western “immersion” style of teaching that runs through the entire curriculum.
Students
The majority of our students are young learners aged from 3 to 15 years old and teachers enjoy teaching to a variety of ages throughout the week. The average working week consists primarily of afternoon and evening classes Wednesday to Friday and then morning and afternoon classes on the weekend, with Monday and Tuesday free to relax or explore.
Courses
Courses are designed around a core of set texts and supplementary materials. Teachers are encouraged to use a communicative approach to teaching and to add their own extra resources and ideas to bring variety to the learning environment. All new teachers undergo 2 weeks of Initial Training, introducing our curriculum and our teaching methodology. After this, we provide on-going training and valuable feedback on your classes, making sure nobody is left in the dark to struggle with a class. Chinese Teaching Assistants are in the class with us at all times, and are there to help with any complicated subjects or difficult students.
