Recruitment Update

At present, our recruitment priority is for native English-speaking teachers from North America, Britain and Australia. This is due to the demands of Chinese students / clients.

If you are South African, or a non-native English speaker, please be aware that we have a waiting list, as it takes longer to arrange projects. We don't wish to waste your time in completing the application, and suggest that you just email us to express your interest, and we will get back to you as soon as the current waiting list is clear.

Video Introduction

Your video introduction will be shown to our Partner Schools and their students, so it's important to make it appealing. You don't need to wear headphones for this. Wear bright colours, have an interesting background, use props such as toys, be lively in your use of body language, and most of all ... smile :-)

We are looking for teachers who are animated and engaging ... make sure that your video demonstrates this.

Your video should be around 30 - 40 seconds in length. Longer videos will be rejected.

Here is an example script. No need to follow it exactly ... It's just here as a guide.

My name is …. and I love to teach English and share my knowledge of western culture with young students. 
My degree is in … and I have also worked … (mention some of your work experience). 
My hobbies are … (open up about this and say what you enjoy doing)  
I believe the most effective way to feel comfortable and confident with learning English is to enjoy having conversations with a teacher who guides students in lessons that are fun and interesting, with plenty of congratulations [display the “Thumbs-Up”] and corrections where necessary! 
I am friendly [big smile], motivated, funny [open hands up] and more importantly patient.
And I love to teach children! [another big smile with a pause] 
I hope and look forward to seeing you or your students [big smile], in one of my classes soon. 
Bye [keep smiling and give a nice wave]
