Job overview
Maths Teacher in China
Radical Lifestyle Change. AQI: 80-105(AIR QUALITY INDEX)
Are you looking for a complete lifestyle upheaval? Can you immerse yourself in a Chinese backwater town and focus solely on making students understand and appreciate your chosen subject?
Do you want experience a side of China not seen in Beijing or Shanghai. A city without Starbucks and Burger King on every corner?
Essentially located in the middle of nowhere, Bozhou International School is currently recruiting suitably qualified teachers. A certain type of teacher:
- Are you independent with a strong sense of self sufficiency?
- Can you survive in a city with less than 10 other foreigners?
- Do you have an interest in Chinese Culture, Learning Mandarin and Oriental Health & Excersise?
No? Then this is not the teaching position for you. Please apply at one of the other identikit International Schools in some large Asian city, teaching kids more interested in Iphone's than learning. Buy a gas mask for the smog and hope for the best.
Yes? Read on:
Bozhou is a small city, located in the north of Anhui province. Air Quality Index of 80-105 (compared to 200+ for Beijing / Shanghai). Situated 5hrs from Beijing & 6hrs from Shanghai by train. Bozhou International School opens its doors for the first time in September 2014.
You will need experience. There will not be schemes of work set up and resources ready made, so candidates lacking in experience will be considered only if they can demonstrate exceptional self motivation and initiative.
We're looking for candidates with an interest in all things Oriental. One of the few things this small city has in abundance is Culture. Home of Hua Mulan, the heroine of the Disney film MULAN, Bozhou is the Capital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in central China. Additionally a capital city during the 3 kingdoms Dynasty period (220AD-265AD) and home to one of the Oldest Rice Wine Distilleries (Gu Jing Gong), we have culture oozing out of the local hot springs and dripping from local vendor's food carts. It was additionally the hometown of the teacher who taught Confucius, Lao Zi and home to Hua Tou, the celebrated Doctor and father of TCM.
If you're a physics teacher who understands it's the 'God Damn' particle, not the God particle or if you're Maths teacher who loves numbers, then we're looking for you!
Before applying please consider this: Bozhou is small! The local supermarket only started selling cheese last year, before that you had to drive 150kms+ or order from the internet. Internet Cheese, that's the type of city you're moving to, think about it. Internet Cheese.
Wage scale varies depending on provable experience and ranges from: 16,000rmb to 20,000rmb per month. Local wages are 12,000rmb a YEAR and tax rates are favourable as you would expect.
