Teach kids in China and enjoy a fun and rewarding experience that you will never forget. As a teacher, you will get the opportunity to make an impact on both your students’ lives and your own. With many schools in major cities to choose from, you can teach, travel and enjoy an awesome new job overseas.
You don’t need prior working experience to teach kids in China with EF. You just need to be willing to learn and we’ll help with the rest. If you apply now for a position at one of our Kids and Teens schools outside of Shanghai, we’ll even pay for your flight to China. Speak to a recruiter for more details.
As a Kids and Teens teacher, you will teach students aged from 3 – 18. Your students are enthusiastic and fun-loving, full of energy and ready to learn. As a teacher, you need to come to class prepared and ready to have fun. It’s your responsibility to plan engaging classes full of games and learning activities.
Not only will you get to have fun with your students, but you will also get to know them and watch them learn and grow. Your students will vary in language ability and personality. There is no feeling quite like helping a shy student become a confident speaker or a confident young adult converse fluently in English.

"It’s great to work somewhere like EF. Being a teacher can be busy and fast paced, but also fun. On my days off, there's always something to see and do. China is full of surprises that I know I wouldn't find anywhere else. My colleagues have really made me feel at home here. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon."
