English Teacher in Taiwan

Interested in a meaningful and stable teaching job in East Asia? We’d love to see if you’d be a great fit for our team!

The School: Our school, American Eagle Institute Yuanlin, is a branch of a large and reputable English buxiban (cram school). Founded in 2020, the school’s director has worked hard to enrich the lives of students and staff alike. Our students come from local elementary schools and range in age from six to fourteen. We use North American textbooks and follow an American curriculum so that our students can experience genuine immersion in the language. The secret to our success here is simple: we like what we do! We cut no corners to provide a meaningful English education for our students.

The Location: Yuanlin is a medium-sized city located in central Taiwan. It is small enough to have retained a pure sense of Taiwanese culture. Likewise, it is large enough to have a number of Western eateries, and a sizable foreign community is active here. As it is centrally located, many regions of Taiwan are easily accessible from here.

The Position: We are seeking someone to fill a vacancy in August or September 2026 for the position of full-time and part-time teacher. The position comes with approximately twenty hours of classroom instruction per week, continuous curriculum development, classroom and common area decoration, planning and coordinating special activities, and more. This is a small school whose director believes that native-speaking teachers should have a substantial and visible role in planning and carrying out all instruction and activities. As such, this position allows each teacher to exercise a great degree of control over lesson planning and related work. On the other hand, the nature of the position requires careful preparation and dedication. It is a fun, rewarding, and meaningful position. The staff and director form a close-knit support team, and we work together to solve problems and have fun!

Remuneration: This position is a lucrative one, and our teachers find no problem living comfortably while saving money. Full-time teachers are paid a basic monthly salary of NT$53,000. Attendance and other bonuses are paid monthly. We also offer one meal and snacks for the teacher. A contract completion bonus of NT$25,000 to NT$30,000 is paid upon successful completion of a one-year contract.

Requirements:

• Be a native speaker of North American English
• Have completed a program at an English-speaking, four-year university (B.A., B.S., etc.)
• Hold a valid passport from an English-speaking country
• Possess qualities of diligence, flexibility, open-mindedness, cultural sensitivity, and patience
• Be physically fit to work nine to twelve hour days and remain active with children
• Have at least one of the following:
  • Experience working in an ESL environment
  • A TEFL, TESOL, or CELTA qualification
