Our Vision
York English was started in 2003 with the aim of doing ESL differently than other schools in China. Here at York, the quality of the education we provide matters. We aim to provide students with creative, engaging, and educational lessons that will allow them to develop their language skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Teaching
Our commitment to education extends into high-level of support we provide for our teachers and staff. From a supportive community to welcome new teachers, to comprehensive initial training and on-going professional development, we are here to make sure that our teachers have the resources, training, and support to succeed in the classroom.
We have small class sizes so you can build a rapport with your students, every class has a Teaching Assistant to help you and the students and we provide everything you need to create fun and interactive lessons.
We also believe in having a work life balance. On average our teachers are in the classroom for around 18 hours each week. Which leaves you with lots of time for exploring the city and surrounding countryside, learning Chinese, playing sports, going to the gym and immersing yourself in Chinese culture.
The School
This formula has worked really well. The school now has 6 branches, 4,000 students and over 75 foreign teachers. And we’re still growing!
Life in Fuzhou
Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian province on the East coast of China, just across the water from Taiwan. It’s a coastal city with great transport links via train and plane to Shanghai, Xiamen and Shenzhen. The city itself has a great mix of ‘real China’ and western home comforts so it’s an exciting place to live.
Job Description
At York English we believe that caring for our students means caring for our teachers. The best way for our students to succeed at learning English is if their teachers are passionate, motivated and most importantly prepared. So whether you´re new to ESL or have been teaching for a number of years we´re confident we can make you a better teacher. Our comprehensive orientation, training and ongoing professional development are at the core of our program. Come and join us and see why York English is a great school to work in.
As a teacher your responsibilities will be to plan and deliver exciting classes that engage students and give them lots of practice with English. Our students want a strong focus on speaking and listening, with clear and memorable methods of introducing new language and lots of opportunities to practice with it.
