English Teacher

Established in December 2012, Elan Schools are an English language arts training service provider to children aged 5-14 in China. The first Elan School opened in March 2013. Currently, there are 18 Elan Schools in operation in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan. In early 2016, Elan School was acquired by Country Garden Education Group (rebranded as Bright Scholar Education Group).

Teachers’ responsibilities:

1. Deliver high quality literature, writing, and phonics courses to students including assigned quizzes.

2. Issue, explain and mark all tasks and assignments, including in-class and post class assignments, to students and parents of younger students.

3. Conduct phonics tests and free trials for new students and make recommendations for classes.

4. Enforce a “culture of English” and other élan expectations through classroom discipline and focus.

5. Work with the Center manager, Head Teacher and other staff in the center to be informed about schedule changes, absences, and students having trial classes, as well as create strategies for special case students.

6. Substitute for absent colleagues - this may be at short notice and off-site, or involve assistance in the library during busy times, particularly if you have an empty slot on a weekend.

7. Participate in a training course held by the academic department, which will help you become familiar with all aspects of Élan curriculum, lesson flow, and quiz schedules.

8. If your work schedule allows and you have an interest, there is an opportunity to assist with the development of our curriculum, winter and summer classes materials, and also to assist with marketing events.
