EF English First, Zhangjiagang & Changshu are now accepting applications from qualified English teachers looking to expand their horizons and teach at a leading language school in China. If you strive for excellence and enjoy delivering engaging English classes then you will fit right in. Our high academic standards, plentiful resources and outstanding staff are what make us the leading school in the city.
Our school first opened its doors in Zhangjiagang in 2001 and ever since has grown from strength to strength, opening another school in Changshu in 2012 and a second school in Zhangjiagang in 2015. Our students are aged from 3 to 18 years old and we focus on the communicative style of teaching with a maximum of 14 students per class. For our younger classes, teachers will have a teaching assistant in the classroom to assist with setting up activities and classroom management. They are also available when needed for older classes.
We were one of the first English First schools to open in China. With the backing of over 40 years of experience and support from its parent company it’s no wonder English First continues to be seen as the number one place for language learning in the city of Zhangjiagang and Changshu. We have a dedication to the highest academic quality achieved through on-going teacher training. We won National Awards at the EF China conferences in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014 and were ranked 1st for student satisfaction in 2015 & 2016.
Our schools boast new state-of the art multimedia school, with touch screen interactive whiteboards in every classroom, a “cookery-classroom,” as well as EF’s Life Club Zone, which has a newly designed stage.
We provide extensive training for all new teachers regardless of experience. We also run a weekly workshop for teachers. Teachers are also observed 4 times a year and we use this to help them improve their teaching. We also provide access to training courses and certifications which include CERT/DIP TESOL, Certificates in teaching lexis/grammar/phonology & TKT examinations.
