Job Description:

Teach in Taiwan’s True Second City (Cheaper than Taipei! Bigger than Kaohsiung!)
Taichung, Taiwan
Posted by: HESS Education
Are you interested in teaching English abroad? Passionate about learning? Enjoy working with kids and inspiring the next generation? We have opportunities waiting for you in a destination you should add to your travel list – Taichung, Taiwan.
Taichung is Taiwan’s true second city. Second only to New Taipei City in terms of population (Taipei is fourth!), it is the city Taiwanese people want to move to the most, and it is easy to see why. The birthplace of bubble tea has the best weather of any big city in Taiwan: less rainy than Taipei and more temperate than Kaohsiung. Cost of living, especially rent, is more reasonable than in the capital. Taichung’s ever-evolving food scene includes one of Taiwan’s largest and most famous night markets—Feng Chia Night Market— and the most Michelin Guide-awarded restaurants outside of the capital.
Some of Taiwan’s most important cultural offerings, both old and new, will be right at your doorstep. The nearly-300 year old Dajia Jenn Lann Temple is home to one of the world’s largest religious pilgrimages. The National Museum of Natural Science is one of the largest and most important in Taiwan.
Nature buffs have easy access to hiking in the Central Mountain Range, the Gaomei Wetlands, and the Guguan Hot Springs. For those looking for an oasis in the big city, Taichung is full of parks, bike paths, and quiet neighborhoods waiting to be explored.
Taichung boasts a growing metro system, rail and bus links to the rest of Taiwan, and Taichung International Airport puts Taiwan’s outer islands and vacation destinations across the region within easy reach. The high-speed rail means Taiwan’s other major cities are no more than an hour away.
Taichung is ever-evolving, and we want you to come and join us! We have over 20 schools in Taichung and are actively hiring for positions that begin throughout 2025!
