THE SCHOOL:
Our school is a branch of a large and reputable English buxiban (cram
school). Founded in 2008, the school’s director has worked hard to enrich
the lives of students and staff alike. Our students come from the local
elementary schools with ages ranging from six to fourteen. We use North
American textbooks and follow an American curriculum so that our students
can experience genuine immersion into the language. The secret to our
success here is simple: WE LIKE WHAT WE DO! We cut no corners to provide a
meaningful English education for our students.
THE LOCATION:
Changhua City is a medium-sized city located in central Taiwan. It is small
enough to have retained a pure sense of Taiwanese culture. Likewise, it’s
large enough to have a number of Western eateries and a sizable foreign
community is active here. As it is centrally located, many regions of Taiwan
are easily accessible from here. Taipei and Koahsiung are reached with an
hour’s ride on the High Speed Rail.
THE POSITION:
We are seeking someone to fill a vacancy in Jan. & Feb. 2020 for the
position of full-time & part time teacher. The position comes with a number
of duties including approximately twenty hours of classroom instruction per
week, continuous curriculum development, classroom and common area
decoration, planning and coordinating of special activities, et cetera. This
is a small school whose director believes that the native-speaking teachers
should have a substantial and visible role in planning and carrying out all
instruction and activities. As such, this position allows for each teacher
to exercise a great degree of control over lesson planning and the like. On
the other hand, the nature of the position requires scrupulous preparation
and dedication. It’s a fun, rewarding and meaningful position! The staff
and director form a close knit support team and we work together to solve
problems and have fun!
REMUNERATION:
This position is a lucrative one and our teachers find no problem living
comfortably while saving money. Full-time teachers are paid a minimum
monthly salary of NT$53,000 with the possibility of overtime paid at an
hourly rate. Attendance and other bonuses are paid monthly. A contract
completion bonus of NT $30,000 is paid upon successful completion of a
one-year contract.
ACOMMODATION:
A four bedroom apartment, located one block from the school, is provided as
accommodation for teachers. Monthly rent is NT$5,000 plus utilities. This
apartment is located within a gated complex in a lively neighborhood
adjacent to Changhua’s downtown day market. The accommodation will be
shared with the other teachers. To live in this apartment is an excellent
perk to the position as accommodation is waiting for you the moment you land
in Taiwan! Of course, teachers are also free to seek their own accommodation
elsewhere.
REQUIREMENTS:
The successful applicant will:
-Be a native-speaker of North American English
-Have completed a program at an English-speaking, four-year university
(B.A., B.S., et cetera)
-Hold a valid passport from an English-speaking country
-Possess qualities of diligence, flexibility, open-mindedness, cultural
sensitivity and patience
-Be physically fit as to work nine to twelve hour days and remain active
with children
