Are you ready for an adventure that combines teaching with the thrills of an incredible lifestyle in Taiwan? Look no further than Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s sunny second city, for an English teaching position like no other. Imagine waking up to the bustling city, interspersed with stunning temples like the 17th century Chijin Tianhou Temple or the amazing Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Pond. Taiwanese cuisine is a delight, with delicious street food to be found at the Ruifeng and Liuhe night markets. There is a thriving art scene, fantastic architecture, and scenic views as you stroll along the Love River and Kaohsiung Harbor. My personal favorite thing about living here is taking the ferry to Cijin Island and watching the sunset from the beach. With a warm climate and easy access to Taiwan’s stunning natural parks and coastline, Kaohsiung promises an unparalleled experience for passionate educators to immerse themselves in a city that offers it all.

We are a very well-established company, with modern facilities in our schools, and training for all new recruits to ensure the smoothest transition into teaching. We design our own curriculum in-house, including detailed guides to make lesson planning simple.

Our teachers have different levels of experience. Some have been with us for years, while others are enjoying their first few months in Taiwan and the world of teaching. Our established team of teachers have built a strong community, supporting each other in providing a welcoming environment for first-time teachers as well as socializing on weekends. There is a large expat community across Kaohsiung, and the south of Taiwan generally.
Starting pay ranges from 650 to 700 NTD per teaching hour. You can earn up to 800 NTD per teaching hour with raises. You will also receive a monthly stipend of 3,000 NTD for completing grading and other administrative work. You are guaranteed contract completion bonuses and annual raises, as well as student retention bonuses.

All teachers are guaranteed a minimum of 20 teaching hours per week, and receive flexible vacation days to use throughout the year. Within the company, there are also ample opportunities for professional growth and career advancement outside of teaching. In addition to pursuing management positions, such as Head Native Speaking Teacher, Principal, or Area Manager, teachers can get involved in projects related to curriculum development, recruitment, and training.

In line with Taiwanese government policy, teachers need to hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, (or an associate’s degree and TEFL certificate) and be from a native speaking English country.

If you want to join our team, or have any further questions, please don't hestiate to email me: southareahess@gmail.com.

Thanks, and see you in Kaohsiung!
