Who We Are

We are a 15-year-old English training brand with more than 800 partner teachers teaching across our network. We are now building a face-to-face young learner programme in Foshan, and we are hiring one teacher to grow with it.

Most language schools sell grammar. We teach children to stand up and speak. Our young learner programme combines spoken English with bilingual public speaking students aged 4 to 12 learn to present, tell stories, and hold a room in both English and Chinese. If you enjoy performance, storytelling and the energy of a classroom full of children, this role will feel natural to you.

The Role

Deliver spoken English and public speaking lessons to children aged 4 to 12, using our own published textbooks and ready-made lesson plans. You will not be asked to build curriculum from scratch.
Prepare lessons and adjust pacing and difficulty to your class level.
Make sure students actually master what they are taught we measure learning, not hours delivered.
Most lessons are in person at our school; a smaller portion is delivered online.
Working hours: weekday evenings plus daytime at weekends.

What We Provide

Complete curriculum, textbooks and lesson materials
Paid onboarding and ongoing teaching training
Full Z visa and Foreigner's Work Permit sponsorship, with application guidance end to end

Who We Are Looking For

Bachelor's degree or above
Native-level English. Conversational Mandarin is a strong advantage and is valued in our package.
You meet at least one of these qualification routes: 2+ years of language teaching experience, OR a degree in Education / Languages / Teaching, OR a home-country teaching licence, OR a 120-hour TEFL / TESOL / CELTA
Experience teaching children aged 4 to 12 in an offline classroom is preferred
Comfortable on your feet: warm, expressive, and able to hold the attention of a room of young learners
Clean national criminal record check, issued within the last 6 months and apostilled
Medically fit and willing to complete the Chinese work visa process
Ready to commit to a 2-year contract

About Your Visa Please Read
We sponsor your Foreigner's Work Permit and Z visa, and we handle it by the book. The application is submitted approximately in early December this year after you accept our offer. From offer to your first class the standard timeline is 6 to 8 weeks, because the Work Permit Notice (10-30 working days) and the Z visa must both be issued before you teach. We will never ask you to enter on a tourist visa or start teaching while a permit is pending.

You will need your degree certificate, teaching certificate, national criminal record check and passport, all apostilled in your home country. We send the full checklist on the day you receive an offer, so you can begin the apostille process in parallel with your visa paperwork.

If you are already in China on a transferable work-type residence permit, you can usually start considerably sooner.

How to Apply

Send your CV and a link to a 1-minute self-introduction video. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a 15-minute video interview, followed by a short recorded teaching demo.

One position. We review applications on a rolling basis and will close the search once the right teacher is confirmed.

ESL Certificate

• Conversational Mandarin is a strong advantage. Our programme teaches bilingual public speaking, and teachers who can follow a parent conversation in Chinese settle in far faster.
• Comfort with performance: storytelling, drama, role-play and getting children to speak up. This is a public speaking programme, not a grammar class.
• Experience teaching children aged 4 to12 in an offline classroom is preferred, though we will consider strong candidates without it if you meet one of the qualification routes above.
• Availability to work weekday evenings and full weekends. This is a training-centre schedule, not a school-day schedule.
• Willingness to commit to a 2-year contract with a 6-month probation period. We invest in your visa, your training and your classroom, and we are looking for a teacher who wants to build something here.
• Documents ready or in progress: apostilled degree certificate, 120-hour TEFL/TESOL/CELTA, and a national criminal record check issued within the last 6 months.
• Already in China on a transferable work-type residence permit is a plus. You can usually start considerably sooner.
• Independent, outgoing and comfortable working with a small local team. You will be our first in-person young learner teacher in Foshan, which means real ownership and real autonomy.
