Teach English to children in Changzhou,Jiangsu
Shane English was established in 1977 and has now more than 350 schools in five different countries (Japan, China, South Africa, Poland and the UK). We have a well established teaching system which focuses on teaching quality. We provide professional training, teacher’s books, course guides, flashcards and a friendly environment. Students are grouped by age as well as ability and small class size and every class we teach has a Teaching Assistant.
We try to teach our students in a fun and interactive way, so they can learn English but also learn a little about Western culture and what life is like in foreign countries. Chinese students tend to be overworked and spend most of their time studying, so they really appreciate our classes and enjoy the freedom and the chance to be creative.
