Pros

I wanted to develop as a teacher and with so many hours (20-25 classes a week) my confidence grew loads. Atmosphere in the language center (Hangzhou) was great, made friends with many students (adults). But in class you expected to take the lead and know what you're doing.

Cons

Curriculum rotates so can be a bit boring teaching the same lessons again unless you are creative and look for new ways of bringing the material to life. Don't do the job if you just want to travel and have fun, the work is pretty intense, with little time to travel (though there is a 'flying teacher' thing where you teach in different cities and centers)

Thank you for sharing your experience at EF. It's fantastic to hear that during your time with EF, you were able to grow and develop as a teacher and become more confident. It is also good to hear that you enjoyed your time at the school and were able to form strong friendships with students. We do understand that teaching the same lessons can become repetitive, but we also hope it creates familiarity, allowing teachers to focus more on their teaching and less on learning the content and developing new lesson plans each time. Our teaching schedules can be intense and teaching at EF is not for someone who is looking to just travel and have fun. Thank you for your recommendation for more teacher support, and settling into China assistance. We are constantly reviewing our training programs, including our new teaching onboarding. Thank you for your feedback and for your 2+ years teaching with EF. We appreciate the time and effort you gave to our students.
