The job

EF English First, Taiyuan is now interviewing for qualified English language teachers with a drive and passion for teaching. If you have the attributes of an effective teacher and the desire to work in a rewarding and fulfilling school we would like to talk to you.

EF Taiyuan was opened in 2002 and since then we have build a hugely successful school based on the principles of delivering high quality, enjoyable classes to all of our students. We have recently relocated to a brand new location and can boast a cutting edge learning environment including digitally interactive whiteboards, exceptional course materials and a fresh, modern school design.

EF Taiyuan offers a selection of courses across all levels and abilities, with a focus on young learners. All prospective students are given a personal placement test by one of our academic staff to assess their English ability, and then course consultants help the customer choose the right course for them.

Taiyuan – The city
Situated on the northern banks of the Yellow River, Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province. The city has a long history that dates back more than 2500 years and it originally served as an important military position in north-central China. Without many foreigners or tourists, Taiyuan gives teachers a chance to experience an authentic China that they can’t get in big cities like Shanghai or Beijing. That being said, the school itself is located near the center of the city, within easy walking distance of many foreign comforts, including bars, gyms, shops and apartments.
