How do Teaching Careers Actually Grow?

• Trained in a stable, legal teaching system
• Build recognized classroom experience
• Progress toward stronger academic environments.
• Grow through structure, experience, and continuity.

Why SIE Is Stronger Than a Single School Employer?

• A School focuses on students, SIE focuses on teachers.
• A school hires you for a role. SIE employs you for a career.
• Schools change. Leadership changes. Timetables.
• Independent and outgoing personalities preferred.
• While SIE will sponsor your work visa, provide training, and support you with anything you need during your contract term, we believe teaching abroad is more than just another job. It’s a chance to become part of a foreign community and experience a new culture. We only select the best applicants who we think will excel both inside and outside the classroom in assisting SIE to achieve our company's mission of helping bridge the cultural divide between China and the rest of the world through language and education.
