Teach Subject Classes

Design and conduct classes, explore various innovative teaching pedagogies based on the students’ needs.

  • You will have a lower teaching load compared to regular teachers, teaching around 10-15 classes per week. You can spend the freed-up time preparing for lessons, designing extracurriculars and etc.

  • You will be placed in a high-need local primary or secondary school that serves underprivileged students, students with Special Education Needs (SEN), Newly Arrived Students, and Non-Chinese Speaking Students.

    Our partner schools are spread across Hong Kong Island, New Territories, and Kowloon.

  • You will teach in subject areas directly related to your previous studies.

  • You will receive coaching from your Leadership Development Officer (LDO), support from the school and full access to our network and resources.

    Your LDO will give you timely feedback and suggestions on potential ECA opportunities.
