ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Uniworld is a unique English-language hagwon (an after school enrichment academy). Unlike other schools, Uniworld goes with an integrated individualized curriculum (combining computer programs with one-on-one classroom interaction to support student development). This approach, combined with small class sizes (no more than 10 per class) with a native teacher makes teaching here more rewarding than many only-conventional teaching positions. With the support of one on one instruction in the language lab room, this position requires that you interact with students based on the book(conventional teaching). Most of our students are between the ages of 8 and 15, though some can be as young as 7 or as old as 15. You should enjoy working with children of al/nt.
Uniworld understands the challenges of teaching and living in an unfamiliar culture. Uniworld works hard to ensure the satisfaction of the foreign teacher by assisting with the transition from the home country, by being transparent about the terms and conditions of employment. It is a highly collaborative and ever-adaptive environment as we explore new ways to teach ESL that excite and engage our students (and teachers!). We prefer teachers who are highly committed to their profession and looking for a creative space to grow with their students.
