Shane English School is situated in Hangzhou, a medium sized city which is often described as being the most beautiful city in China.
Our school is a private language school that specialises in teaching 7 - 18 year olds, although we do have some kindergarten and adult classes as well. Basically, we try to teach our students in a fun and interactive way, so they can learn English but also learn a little about Western culture and what life is like in foreign countries. Chinese students tend to be overworked and spend most of their time studying, so they really appreciate our classes and enjoy the freedom and the chance to be creative.
We teach around 18 hours a week, which doesn't sound like much, but when class planning time is added to that, it is a full-time job, especially at the weekends, which is our busiest time. That said, there is plenty of time left over to experience Hangzhou and China.
We currently have eight teachers hailing from America, England and Australia and we all really enjoy living and working here. One of the best things about our school is the atmosphere of friendship around the place. We all socialise, help each other out and all of our teachers are given the support they need to enjoy their adventures in China and become great teachers
