Then please, email me. I am the head teacher at my school and I will begin conducting interviews via Skype soon to fill these positions.
I personally have worked at my current school for nearly 3 years. The staff is friendly, helpful, and supportive. The local community is awesome. The holiday time is amazing. The students can be very endearing once you start forming a relationship with them.
For those of you already in China, this is a very comfortable city to live in with great weather and little pollution. The salary is quite high considering the work is part time, and the 10 weeks of holiday are fully paid.
Not to mention free housing and bi-annual bonuses.
For those of you currently living outside of China, remember this is a different culture and requires you to leave everything you know; your friends, your work, your family, etc, behind. It is a big step for anyone if you haven't done it before and there is an adjustment period. But when I did this I showed up knowing no one or anything about the city or people. You will show up with a ready made social network and all the connections and knowledge I have gained over 3 years.
If you think you are ready to make a change that will impact your life forever, email me directly so that we can discuss if this is the right fit for both parties.
