An experienced English Foreign Language teacher is needed at this state run school in Ningbo China that specialises in training children to work in trade and tourism. With a student population of nearly 1500 students, you will be teaching around 20x 40 minute periods during regular school hours. Experience of teaching children who have very limited English is preferred and being able to speak some Mandarin is also a plus for this role.

Requirements for this role:

Must hold a passport from the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand
Must have at least 2 years of experience teaching English as a foreign language
Must be under 55 years of age.
Must have a Bachelors degree and a 120+ hr TEFL certification or relevant teaching qualification such as a Bachelors of Education or Masters of Education

Because this is a Chinese school, it is not suitable for dependent children.

This is an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in a Chinese environment in a city that is really easy to live in and with so much to do on your doorstep.

Ningbo is an important seaport in Southeastern China 220kms south of Shanghai. With the recent completion of the Hangzhou Bridge it only takes about 2.5 hours by car to travel to Ningbo from Shanghai. There are also high speed trains from Shanghai to Ningbo (as well as other locations) and an airport that offers regular domestic flights and also some international. Ningbo is one of the oldest cities in China with a 7000 year old history but is also a modern city that is growing. And quickly! It's cheaper to live in than Shanghai, with just as much opportunity.

Home to over 6 million people, Ningbo is a great example of a modern but culturally stimulating city with a diverse range of attractions to suit all tastes. Whilst there are plenty of more modern past-times such as shopping in malls, visiting the zoo or oceanworld, going to the gym, art galleries, museums, playing a round of golf or frequenting the many local and Western bars, cafes, clubs and restaurants there are also many more traditional and cultural attractions such as temples, architecture and the local seafood 'Yong Cuisine' to experience. Ningbo is located between the sea and mountain ranges and there is a beautiful landscape to explore from Songlan Mountain Beach to Wild Crane or Ningbo Five Dragon Pools, to the ancient town Qiantong, Ninghai, Zhe Dong Grand Canyon or the national forest parks. Ningbo has four distinct seasons with hot summers and cold winters. There are a number of international schools and businesses, so you will have a good expatriate community.
