Giraffe English is now looking for dynamic, creative and passionate EFL teachers to join our close-knit teaching team. Teach young learners aged 3 to 12 years old in the vibrant metropolis of Shanghai, China. Giraffe was established in 1986 and opened its doors in China in 2009. Now, we have expanded to over 140 schools across China with Shanghai being the flagship school. The Shanghai flagship school continually strives to incorporate new educational and management concepts.
Giraffe teaches students 3 to 12 years old, and given the age of our students, our mission extends beyond teaching English. We believe that we must not only be effective teachers of English, but work to help create an environment where students can work and learn collaboratively.
Our young learners focus on speaking and as the students’ progress into different levels, they are introduced to reading and writing. Our courses are designed to cater to each student’s needs as well as establish confidence in their English speaking ability.
Speak Up is an advanced level course for students that are looking to challenge themselves and their ability to think critically. We currently have two courses that we are offering through Speak Up- Drama and Public Speaking. Each course is specially designed to allow our students to not only work on their English speaking ability, but also learn specialized and valuable skills that we hope will aid them for their academic future.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
-Excellent salary: 17,000 – 21,000 RMB
-Airfare allowance provided for teachers outside China
-Career development opportunities
-Media and theme-based classrooms
ABOUT SHANGHAI:
Known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Shanghai is truly an international metropolis in every sense of the word. The most vibrant and progressive city in China, Shanghai is the economic and cultural center, blending an incredible mix of Eastern and Western culture. On one side of the mighty Yangtze River flowing through Shanghai is the Pu Dong district, rural farm land just 20 years ago, it is now the financial and commercial hub with skyscrapers stretching ever higher. Along the western bank of the river, the iconic Bund is a reminder of Shanghai’s colonial past featuring grand European architecture.
For those who like to shop, party and eat, Shanghai has all you could possibly want and more. But despite its cosmopolitan reputation, pockets of quaint tradition remain alive and well, dotted throughout the city. Explore countless old markets, back streets crammed with local eateries and discover incense filled temples still central to the locals’ daily life.
