New Year, New Teaching Opportunities in Taiwan

HESS Education is the leader in English-language education in Taiwan. We have decades of experience helping passionate people experience the joys of teaching and living in Taiwan, whether it be for a year or longer!

At HESS, you will deliver English classes to students aged 12 and younger at one of our own schools, which can be found in cities big and small. You will prepare lessons using our curriculum, grade homework and tests, and work with colleagues from around the world to ensure the success of your students. Our comprehensive curriculum is full of student-centered activities and games that emphasize fun and learning, while being structured in a way that supports our teachers, too.

Outside of work, Taiwan is your oyster. Take up your own language study in Mandarin (or even Taiwanese and Hakka!). Roam big cities like Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung in search of good food and artistic treasures. Head to the mountains for an epic hike or to sip some tea next to the tea fields. Kick back on the coast's sandy beaches or try your hand at surfing. Island-hop for diving opportunities or to experience indigenous Taiwanese culture. Taiwan's small size and excellent public transportation puts its wonders within easy reach. Plus, we have schools in cities big and small, so you can find the right place to call home in Taiwan.

Earn competitive pay from 680-730 NTD per teaching hour, with annual raise evaluations, plus an additional 3,000 NTD per month for administrative work.

You are guaranteed a minimum of 20 teaching hours per week (many teachers across our schools average 25-26 teaching hours per week).

Receive bonuses for completing contracts and student retention.

You will be eligible for high-quality, low-cost healthcare through Taiwan’s National Health Insurance program.

You will receive immigration and onboarding assistance to help you complete all the documents necessary to legally live and work in Taiwan.

You will also receive comprehensive teacher training throughout your first year to build your skills and confidence in the classroom.

Are you interested in growth and development opportunities in and out of the classroom? You could become a head teacher or lend your skills to our curriculum development, recruitment, or training teams.
