Teacher Testimonials

Matthew G.

I knew EF as a company before I even started looking for a job. You see EF schools in the UK. Having the idea of a big international company, you feel more secure & confident about all the benefits you get.

Vuyo J.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with local Chinese people, Americans, Brits, etc. It’s such a “United Nations” here in Shanghai. The cross-cultural sharing of ideas and strong work ethics has transformed me for the better.

Rob H.

It’s very rewarding to see how students change and develop over time. You can see the children grow up physically and also ability-wise. It’s really amazing to be able to journey with them and see how they get to improve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be able to speak Chinese?

No. We actually never use Chinese in the classroom. Don't worry if you think that sounds strange; when you take our sponsored TEFL course, it will become clear how we do this. And when it comes to life outside of work, most cities in China have English road signs and English metro station names. Restaurants mostly have menus written in English, and if not, they generally have pictures. Learning some basic survival Chinese when you arrive, such as addresses for taxis, is recommended, although it is just to make things a little easier. Nowadays, you can do most of your daily tasks using translation apps in English!

Will I be able to save money?

I don't have any working experience. Can I still apply?

I have never lived abroad before. Will it be difficult to adjust?
