Teacher Training is administered by our team of Directors of Studies who all have years of classroom experience teaching at Shane English School Taiwan.
Our aim if for all teachers to look back fondly on an awesome experience teaching in Taiwan.
From a long-term teacher moving on to new things.
This was my first experience in Asia, and while the first two weeks were overwhelming, Taipei quickly felt like home. When I arrived in Taiwan, Shane arranged my taxi from the airport, my paperwork, and a hotel, so the transition to live in Taiwan was seamless.
Within the first week, my roommate and I asked head office to assist our housing process and they helped us find and reach out to five landlords. We found the perfect apartment within a few days!
Once we began training, which was intense, but necessary, I felt equipped to handle a classroom without having had much classroom teaching experience prior.
Since my arrival a year ago, I have grown so much as a teacher with the help of my school’s faculty and head office. Teaching has become second nature and I will miss the bonds I formed with the children I taught deeply!
Beyond teaching, Taiwan is an unbelievable place to live. I feel lucky that I get to wake up here every day. The city has an incredible mix of ancient and modern, the food is astounding and inexpensive, the people are so kind, and the access to nature is unparalleled.
If you are looking for a teaching job with a great training program and a lot of assistance in terms of the content you teach and the way you teach it, Shane is a great company to work for.
