Hello everybody,
We’re a Shanghai-based online English tutoring business that’s been growing steadily. We’re now looking to bring on more part-time teachers to meet the demand for new lessons.
I oversee all the operational work for the programme. As we expand, I want to focus more energy on business promotion, social media content creation and class scheduling. That’s why I’m reaching out to find passionate educators to join our team.
Our programme serves Chinese learners of all ages — young kids, teenagers and adult students. Our goal is to deliver engaging, tailored English classes to help learners build practical language ability and prepare for overseas study.
We run two lesson formats: group sessions and fully personalised 1-on-1 private tuition.
Our course range includes original textbook courses such as Oxford Blue Dot and Think, general adult English, plus overseas exam preparation covering IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC and SAT.
For adult group lessons (levels 0 to C2), we cover exam training, pre-class presentations, topic discussions around news, economics and daily conversational English.
For kids and teens, classes use age-graded textbooks with speaking practice matched to their level.
One-on-one lessons are fully customised: test prep, textbook study, and in-depth discussion on social and economic topics.
We have a 20-minute introductory trial session for every new private student, designed for you and the learner to get to know each other. For group classes, there is also a trial lesson available. All trial sessions, whether for 1-on-1 or group classes, are paid at your standard full hourly rate, no discount.
For adult group courses, the student roster may vary slightly each week. While the individual learners might not be exactly the same from class to class, all participants are grouped by fixed language levels. For example, all students in one session will be at B2 level. You won’t need to adjust your lesson materials; you can prepare your resources normally.
Our team handles all marketing and student recruitment. If students request your classes, we will coordinate scheduling for you.
All classes follow China Time (UTC+8). There is no location requirement for teachers; you can teach remotely from anywhere in the world.
Who we’re looking for:
✅ Native English speakers (mandatory requirement)
✅ TESOL/TEFL or other ESL teaching certifications are highly preferred
✅ Previous teaching experience is a bonus
✅ Reliable internet connection, good webcam and microphone
This is a cooperative part-time contractor role.
What we offer:
• Payment issued after every completed class
• No agency commission deducted. You set your own hourly rate, paid in RMB via Alipay or PayPal
• You retain ownership of your intellectual property; copyright of your self-created teaching materials stays with you
