Why This Role Matters
At the Australia Institute of Future Education (AIFE), we exist to empower academic professionals around the world through high quality, relevant professional development, delivered by leading education practitioners using blended, progressive teaching methods. Our mission is to help early and midcareer academics reach their full career potential and become leaders within their institutions and communities.

As an International Academic EAP, you play a key role in this mission. By supporting university students in China to develop strong academic English foundations, you help open pathways to international learning, global mobility and long term academic success. You'll collaborate with supportive colleagues, engage with motivated students and contribute to an educational experience that aligns with AIFE's vision of uplifting global academic capability and inspiring lifelong learning.

This is a role for educators who value cultural exchange, meaningful student impact, and the chance to be part of a growing international higher education ecosystem.

What You'll Do
You'll teach AIFE's English for Academic Purposes (EAP) curriculum to first-third year university students. Your days will include:

• Delivering prepared lessons that build students' academic reading, writing, listening and speaking skills
• Working in a friendly coteaching model with a Chinese colleague

• Supporting students as they prepare for AIFE's Direct Entry Program (DEP), which helps them transition to overseas universities

A Supportive Teaching Model
You will never be left to figure things out alone. AIFE uses a coteaching approach, pairing you with a Chinese Teacher who teaches alternating lessons in the same course. This brings together both local understanding and international academic skills - a blend students truly benefit from.
On campus, you will have access to:

• Branch Managers
