What are we looking for?

We are looking for bright, articulate graduates with excellent written and verbal English skills to work in China. The majority of our clients are based around Hanghzou city in the Zhejiang province. This is a large, young, clean and vibrant city of 8 million people just 1 hour south of Shanghai. There is a large ex-pat community and excellent nightlife. The monthly salary of £650 -£1000 will provide you with plenty of disposable income on top of your accommodation and health insurance. We are also recruiting for some public schools in Chengdu. Chengdu is China’s fifth largest city located in the Sichuan province in Western China.

We have vacancies with primary schools (aged 6- 12) , secondary schools (aged 12 – 16) and further education colleges (aged 16 – 20). Obviously, the level of the children’s English varies depending on how old they are. The organisation can train you towards your TEFL qualification if you do not already have one. The initial contract will be for 1 year, though they would like people to extend these if they do well.
