English as a Foreign Language Teacher (2025 Start Times)
Are you passionate about education? Interested in how we learn languages? Enjoy working with children? Yearning to live abroad? Come spend a year (or more!) teaching English in Taiwan with HESS Education!
What You'll Do
You will deliver English classes to students aged 12 and younger. You will prepare lessons using our curriculum, grade homework and tests, and work with colleagues from around the world to ensure the success of your students. Our comprehensive curriculum is highly-structured and full of student-centered activities and games that emphasize fun and learning. Our teaching positions are full-time with location opportunites all across Taiwan, in cities big and small.
Outside of work, Taiwan is your oyster. Take up your own language study in Mandarin (or even Taiwanese and Hakka!). Roam big cities like Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung in search of good food and artistic treasures. Head to the mountains for an epic hike or to sip some tea next to the tea fields. Kick back on the coast's sandy beaches or try your hand at surfing. Island-hop for diving opportunities or to experience indigenous Taiwanese culture. Taiwan's small size and excellent public transportation puts its wonders within easy reach.
