Job Description:

Our client has an exciting opportunity based in Hong Kong for a TEFL English Teacher. Make vibrant, energetic Hong Kong your next move with our client and they will support you every step of the way!

About the company
Now heading towards their 23rd Anniversary, our client is a group of British-owned extra-curricular English Schools, (the only such group in Hong Kong) all located in central areas of Hong Kong. They focus on providing a high-quality, interactive, and encouraging learning environment for students between the ages of 3 and 16. Teachers are recruited to work in one of the schools (or occasionally they may be stationed across 2 schools) as part of a team of native English-speaking teachers. Classes are strongly geared towards oral interaction as well as reading and writing.

About the role
As a TEFL English Teacher, you will enjoy a supportive and rewarding working environment which starts with a comprehensive induction programme. Our clients’ teachers have the opportunity to develop their teaching skills whilst experiencing living in wonderful, vibrant Hong Kong.

• You will be key to providing students with an interactive and nurturing learning environment. At the heart of the student experience is their unique class size limit of just 4 students per class.
• Such small classes enable teachers to have plenty of one-to-one interaction and really get to know students; creating learning opportunities which aren't possible with larger classes.
• Having the benefit of small classes allows teachers to tailor lessons to the individual needs of students and place them into classes according to their English proficiency rather than their age.
• Students are encouraged to speak only in English, ensuring learning is maximised and students reap the benefits of a fully immersive experience.
• As well as teaching English, teachers work on building students' confidence and fostering a love of English.
• Their lessons are developed to meet the individual needs and skill levels of the students as they progress.

As a TEFL English Teacher, you will be provided with a variety of resources divided into different skill areas, and whilst you will have all the guidance and support you need; you are also given autonomy to make decisions within a framework and develop lessons to ensure each student reaches their full potential. There is definitely no 'one size fits all' with this company. Teachers are supported with the following:

• A comprehensive induction plan especially helpful to those who are new to teaching.
• Lots of opportunities for training and professional development.
• A supportive working environment with senior teachers/managers to mentor less experienced teachers.

About the responsibilities
Successful candidates for the role of TEFL English Teacher will be based at one of our clients’ centres across Hong Kong. You will be responsible for:

• Planning and preparing lesson plans based upon student proficiency.
• Teaching children in a small group environment.

About you
To be successful for the role of TEFL English Teacher, you must have / be:

• A Degree (in any field) and either have or be willing to take a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA qualification or have extensive teaching experience.
• Experience of working with children in an instructional capacity.

If you are unsure your qualifications and experiences meet our clients’ requirements, send us your CV and if you are not quite there yet, they can advise on the next steps.
