Red Maple School have a proven track record in Teaching English…
Our Red Maple English Tuition School in Futian Shenzhen has grown significantly faster than anticipated, and plans to grow into neighbouring areas have now been brought forward. A large proportion of families send their children to our School in response to elite high school entrance exams requiring higher levels of general English language proficiency – key indicators are already showing that our techniques are showing exceptional results well ahead of expectations.
The local language…
At Red Maple English school, we do not expect our teachers to know a single word of Chinese. For those candidates that would like an accelerated Mandarin Chinese learning experience – we believe there is no better opportunity than to teach with the Red Maple School (Our translation department has recently translated: “The Globalization Paradox: Democracy and the Future of the World Economy” into Chinese, and audio/video/written translations of professional study material for prestigious exams such as CFA/FRM into Mandarin Chinese for executives in corporate China. Red Maple School also teaches Chinese to students across the world online.).
Endless opportunities…
The Chinese people are passionate about learning the English language. We are constantly looking at expansion opportunities to rapidly extend our proven proprietary teaching techniques to the rest of China. Given this exciting growth, employees of Red Maple School can expect to have dynamic performance-related progression paths if desired.
The Role…
Once you arrive in Shenzhen, you will be given about 20 to 30 teaching hours per week, working mainly in the evenings and weekends. You will liaise with our teaching assistants to communicate with parents on the students’ progress and what the parents should do to maximise the effectiveness of the kids’ learning.
You will get the chance to add valuable hands-on experience of all aspects of the business process to your portfolio, with the added bonus of becoming familiar with business practices in China. Moreover, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience the splendours of Chinese culture!
Shenzhen, China…
Shenzhen China is the one of the 4 top tier cities in China, and has the highest per capital GDP in the country. Adjacent to Hong Kong, is one of China’s major logistic, financial and manufacturing centres. Built from a small fishing village 20 years ago, it is the perfect embodiment of China’s breath-taking development in the past 2 decades. As the manufacturing base for multi-national companies, it is home of a large community of westerners and considered a modern metropolis with a Chinese flavour. It is very close to the malls, five-star hotels, such as Shangri-La and Sheraton, restaurants, shops, cafes and cinemas. You will find Irish pubs, Italian restaurants stand side by side with Sichuan, Hunan restaurants. In your spare time, you can learn Mandarin from our highly qualified Mandarin Chinese teacher, visit the many parks, beaches, museums, resorts in the city, or go shopping in Hong Kong. As the southern gateway into China, Shenzhen is very close to other South-East Asian countries. Our teachers enjoy travelling to Vietnam, Cambodia and other Chinese cities (Tibet and Guilin are the two most visited destinations by our teachers.)
This placement is ideal for keen travellers or those who relish new experiences. Flights and train tickets are exceptionally cheap in China and so you might like to take advantage of your spare time to explore such a remarkable and culturally rich country. You will get the best of both worlds, experiencing everyday life in China and thus become familiar with the finer points of its culture, benefitting from inside advice (better than any guidebook!) from the China-born company director, whilst also having the opportunity to quench your wanderlust by travelling independently.
