Greetings! We look forward to meeting with you and discussing the possibility of you joining our team of highly dedicated educators. With China now back to pre-2020 normality, we are excited about recruiting a new crop of professionals to share in the joy of working in a country rich in history and pushing the boundaries of education innovation. We are a dedicated community of educators and scholars hailing from more than 30 different countries and territories, administered under the auspices of one of the best research universities in the world. Our k-12 program has been recognized for its innovative practices and growing influence.
Our school is growing fast with students on our waitlist for all grade levels.

We anticipate 1700 students for 2025-26, as we move to our ultimate capacity of 2000 students. As such, we are expanding our faculty across all subjects. We are also able to accommodate teachers wishing to relocate early during the 2024-25 school year, as it is our current policy to get the jump on visa and work permit issues to ensure that everyone is comfortably in place for August 2025.

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
You need to be from one of the following counties to teach English in China: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. However, schools in China can still hire teachers from other countries as subject teachers or teaching assistants and managers.
Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
