Yes, that’s right
Are you looking at teaching online classes jobs are available now for you to apply for! An amazing company Simple International is currently seeking professional online teachers to join their amazing team teaching English online to Chinese kids aged 4-12 years.
Who are they?
Simple is linking the world through education by providing an international learning experience that allows you to teach Chinese children the English language from your home. Their mission is to inspire and empower every child for the future.
In 2014, Jason Qiao was confronted with an interesting dilemma. One of his friends had expressed an interest in traveling to China but explained that she could not afford the expensive airfare. Driven to find a solution, Jason began researching ways to fund her travel. He discovered that native English speakers willing to instruct Chinese students were in high demand, particularly from Chinese parents and schools. This was welcoming news to Jason’s friend as she was able to travel to China on the Chinese school’s dime and all she had to do was share her passion for the English language with students abroad!
Shortly thereafter, Jason and several of his friends started an organization called Simple International with the goal of helping native English speakers travel to China at no-cost by providing them with a teaching internship. Simple International is currently partnered with sixty Chinese schools and typically receives over two hundred applications per admission cycle. Now they have online classes for teachers from around the world. Have a look at their video below.
