Here’s an opportunity to live and work in Dalian – perhaps China’s most beautiful citiy – and spend your time with beautiful eager young students.

It’s not for everybody. To teach young kids well, you need to be able to find the child within yourself and be prepared to have fun with them on their own level. Your kindness and love of children has to shine through. But the emotional rewards are enormous.

Instead of dealing with students who would rather be doing something else - anywhere else, you are working with students who find the very fact that you are a foreigner exciting and fun. The students are eager to please you and they are at the age where you can get enormous satisfaction from watching their quick improvement.

You will be working for Dalian New Excellence Education Center in one of its associated schools located in Dalian. The facilities are very modern, and built to the highest professional standards

The students attend the school in their spare time so the busiest days are the weekends and the two days per week off are on weekdays. This is standard for private schools so many other teachers in town will have similar leisure times to you. This is a fully professional position. You are expected to work at the school for 25 hours per week and teach, do some demonstration lessons and some promotional activities in that time. If overtime is required you will be paid an extra RMB 100 per hour.

The school has a modern teaching methodology with their own textbooks and you will be fully instructed and supported in implementation.

The contract is initially for one year with a 30 day probation period. We’d like you to start asap and preference will be given to a candidate who can start soon. You will possibly already be teaching in China with a current work visa and a decent relationship with your present employer.

The school is located in the North of the city with very good transport connections and is close to major supermarkets that stock a reasonable range of imported western foods.

We are seeking suitably motivated and qualified native English speakers from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia or NZ aged 25 to 40 to give the kids some opportunities to communicate with a native speaker.

Class sizes will be kept small (from 12 to 16 students) to allow for personal interaction. This allows you to be much more effective and satisfied than trying to teach conversation to classes of 40 to 65 which are common in China.

We are looking for a person who wants to rise to the challenge of being as good a teacher as they can. You must be a native speaker with a neutral accent. You must have a bachelor degree (preferably in a language field) or equivalent and an EFL/ESL/TESOL qualification or two years teaching experience.

Dalian and surrounds is an outstandingly beautiful area with relatively very little pollution. I can send you links to more info if you wish, but a Google search will produce good results.

We can provide documentation for you to get a valid working visa. Ideally you will be living in China with a current working visa and be able to get a work release letter from your current employer
