Hi,
My name is Wayne; I'm from Australia and I work as an English teacher for Joy Children's Language School in Daqing. We are currently looking for native English speakers from England, Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand, Ice Land and Northern Ireland. We need 3 teachers in January and a lot more next May and June .
Daqing is the oil capital of China; it is located in the northeast in Heilongjiang province and is very close to the provincial capital city of Harbin. The air is good and the traffic is smooth, not as crowded as other big cities! The climate in Daqing is quite nice, hot in summer and cold in winter. Daqing is well equipped for the winter and everywhere has hot heating systems, the only time you will need to wear your coat and sweater is when you are outside walking, skiing or ice skating etc.
Joy Children's Language School has it's headquarters in Taiwan. For more information, please visit www.joy.com.tw . Feel free to check out the local Joy website at www.joyhlj.com although it is in Chinese you can use Google translate or something similar to help out.
Joy school has their own curriculum, text books, game files and tools like hammers, balloons, flash cards, dice, etc. The class size is small (between 15 and 20 children). Your classes will be assisted by a Chinese co-teacher (who speaks English very well). Teaching times are as follows: Tuesday to Friday between 5.30pm - 7.20pm Saturday and Sunday between 8.00am ¨C 6.50pm. Monday will be your day off.
Joy has its special concept for children's English teaching. The children are from kindergartens and primary schools in the local area and we teach them English using methods such as games, songs, and stories. The programs are very well created.
Joy needs teachers who are hard-working, punctual, easy going and energetic. Obviously experience and a degree are preferable, but not essential as Joy has an excellent TEACHER TRAINING COURSE; English teaching guides are also available. In the early stages your Chinese co-teachers will observe your classes and give necessary guidance if needed. To be honest it's actually flexibility and a positive attitude that count.
The salary is between 6500-7000RMB/ a month for 85 hours per month teaching, with 4 office hours a week (lesson planning) and 2 hours of class observing a month, extra teaching hrs over the set 85hrs will be paid at 100RMB/hour.
Pay day is the 15th of the Month and I'm happy to say it is NEVER late.
On completion of a 12 Month contract Joy school will offer 9000RMB airfare reimbursement.
Joy school has holidays on Labor Day (1-3 days), National Day (7 days), Summer Vacation (10 days) and Chinese New Year (over 10 days). All holidays are paid except summer holiday (10 days).
You will be entitled to free Chinese lessons (1 hour per week).
On arrival you will get free Medical & accident insurance.
All apartments are within walking distance to the school and come fully furnished with a TV, DVD player, refrigerator, washer, air-conditioner, microwave, baking oven, utensils, a computer including web camera, microphone and free fast broadband connection, a queen sized bed with fresh clean bedding and free local phone calls. All utility bills are paid for by Joy school, but, of course Joy has a limit.
24 hours support is provided should you require it.
Joy school will provide you with a working visa and residence facilities free of charge.
So why choose Joy School Daqing?
Because it's a great place to work and live, I absolutely love it! The school is fantastic, the people are warm and friendly and the cost of living is very low, you can expect to spend on average 1,500-2000 RMB per month which leaves you plenty to save for back home or traveling. I can honestly say Joy School Daqing treats all teachers fairly and will go out of their way to help you.
