An introduction to our schools

An introduction to our schools - Part 3

Here at Guangxi Education Recruitment, we've developed links with many different kinds of schools. These establishments teach a wide range of ages, from kindergarten to adults, and each employs different methods to ensure that they provide the most appropriate style of teaching for their target age group. Today, we're going to focus on one partner company who use an especially creative and fun teaching method to make sure that their young students get the most from their English lessons.

This company teaches kindergarten students around the city of Liuzhou; they're different from the other providers we work with in that, although they have their own school, the bulk of their teaching happens elsewhere. The owner, and the person behind their innovative approach, believes that children of kindergarten age should have exposure to English as part of their weekly routine to give them a head start when they study it more intensely as they progress into formal education. As such, he and his teachers provide lessons to a number of kindergartens around the city, visiting them to provide English classes each week.

The owner and his staff are very experienced working with this age group and have developed a high energy curriculum that is hugely successful in engaging the students and exposing them to the English language whilst being fun and entertaining. Classes are short, 20 minutes each, to ensure that the youngsters get the most from their time and remain fully engaged throughout. Teachers dress up as various characters to deliver the lessons and the kids absolutely love it!

Teaching is focussed on using games and songs to get the children listening to, and starting to use, English. And it's been a huge success; both children and parents are really happy with the results and new staff are required to keep up with demand. As a foreign teacher, you'll be working with groups of preschool children and will be helped by a classroom assistant to allow you to focus on teaching rather than crowd control. Classes are quick and snappy, with no down time so the children develop the kind of enthusiasm for learning that they can take with them into their primary school.

If you're energetic and enthusiastic and love working with younger children, this is a great opportunity. Classes are short and taught during the daytime, so evenings and weekends are free, and you'll be part of a team of like-minded teachers. If you're interested in working in Liuzhou, at this company or one of many others, get in touch via email or our Facebook page.

We're opening a school!

Changes are afoot! When we started Guangxi Education Recruitment we wanted to find and supply teachers for lots of English training centres in and around Liuzhou; we never considered entering the market ourselves. However, this is China, and opportunities abound so we are delighted to announce that our first English school is opening in this week... Looking at other providers in the city, we found that, despite schools generally offering a decent standard of education, most are not using their foreign teachers properly as a resource. Often brought in to provide additional classes, or simply an opportunity for students here to interact face to face with a real foreigner™ , the eponymous 外教 foreign English teacher is under used and underemployed. "Just speak to the students" is the inevitable reply when you ask the principal what they would like you to teach. Not so at 天才外教英语 Genius English Training Centre. We appreciate the value of having native speakers on board s

Introducing Liuzhou - Part 2: 马鞍山 Ma'an Mountain

We previously introduced Fei'e Road, Liuzhou's clothing retail hub. Nearby is one of the most famous parks in Liuzhou, Ma'an Mountain, which we'll tell you more about here in part 2... This is, hands down, one of the best parks in Liuzhou. Not necessarily the most beautiful, but somewhere which will, perhaps more than anywhere else in the city, show you an authentic slice of Chinese life and culture. Rising abruptly out of the ground just south of the river, it also plays host to the spot where you can see the most famous view of the city, shown below. Local Chinese, particularly elderly residents, come to the park everyday to sing, dance, play music, play chess, gamble, feed the fish, debate and chat. This park gives you an unsanitised view of real Chinese life, in complete contrast to the shiny malls and steal and glass towers in the city centre. It's a great way to spend an afternoon, watching the impromptu concerts and groups of old people dancing in uniso

Introducing Liuzhou - Part 3: 龙潭公园 Longtan Park

In part 3 of our series introducing Liuzhou, we visit another park; but not just any park: the most picturesque place in the city... Longtan Park is stunningly beautiful and the city's only 6A scenic area (or maybe 5A, the internet isn't entirely clear on this). Regardless, this is a must see place when you visit, and a natural choice for our cover photo when showing the world what Liuzhou has to offer. Situated around 3km south of the city centre, and easily accessible by public transport, Longtan Park is an unmissable spot, and somewhere you should go to regularly if you live here. As well as the wonderful scenery, the park also demonstrates Guangxi's rich culture, drawing from local minority communities and employing performers from the Zhuang, Dong, Miao and Yao ethnic groups among others. The park offers demonstrations of traditional dancing, singing and other performances, as well as playing host to a great restaurant showcasing local cuisine. As wit
