EF English First, Qingdao is currently holding interviews for a new teaching position. If you are looking to teach in a modern, professional school and have the abundance of energy and creativity to teach English to young learners then do read on.
Our school is equipped with modern facilities and up to date technology as well as a variety of course materials popular with both teachers and students. Due to our success we are planning to open two new schools in the city this year and are excited to expand and reach more students. We teach mainly young learners aged 4 to 18 years old. Each student is placement tested on entering the school which means students studying together have the same level of English. Class sizes are kept small to ensure real progress is made.
At EF Qingdao teacher training and on-going academic support is given the highest priority giving you the structure needed to enjoy and thrive as a teacher.
