We are looking for an awesome Chinese teacher for our language school specialising in teaching adults
At China Unbound, we believe learning Chinese is something to be enjoyed, not endured. Our students include corporate teams, business owners and professionals who share a desire to learn Chinese. This is a great opportunity to grow your skills and to be part of an exciting enterprise as it develops.
The role
- You will be delivering fun, engaging Mandarin lessons to adults
- The number of lessons you are given will depend on the work available but tends to increase as your timetable builds up gradually. (e.g. 1 x 1.5 hour class per week, building up to at least 3 lessons per week).
- You will need another part-time job to supplement your income and be able to commit to regular weekly sessions
- All teaching materials are provided, with room for personalisation for each class by you
- Full training and support will be provided
