Full Time Teaching Staff:  Job status is:  ACTIVE

JOB DESCRIPTION: 
Looking for variety in your career as a professional English teacher?  We can offer that.

A Four Seasons teacher has up to 20 teaching hours per week and they could be spent anywhere from fine-tuning the English negotiation skills of senior business executives to introducing English to young children.  Our classes are generally small from 1-10 people usually, averaging perhaps 5. But we also have some classes in kindergartens with up to 30 kids. The needs and levels of our students vary greatly, but almost all are seriously committed to learning. Those who simply want to be entertained don't usually stay long... after all, some of our teachers have been known to require homework!

We respect our teacher's professionalism and generally allow them to choose from selected course books, design their lessons and structure their classes.  However, we do limit the number of course books in use during a contract period to three.  We provide professional support and materials when requested or needed, but encourage our teachers to bring their own experiences to the classroom.
