Young Learners ESL Teacher - Beijing

Given current government guidelines, we can only accept applications from candidates within Asia and European countries. 

You’ll work 25 hours each week (100 teaching hours per month), with absolutely no office hours!

You’ll enjoy 2 days off per week (usually determined by your personal schedule!),

You’ll usually be working laid-back, flexible shifts during the week, with most of your classes taking place on a weekend.

Occasionally, you can enjoy fun staff-training activities organised by the school!

Although you’ll be spending all of your time in a fun class environment, and are not required to remain on-site for office work, you’ll probably spend a little time planning your classes and reviewing the overall teaching plan!
