Mandarin Subject Teacher (Part-time)

Overview

In a world of constant change and increasing connectedness, EIS International Preschool believes that creating a learning space in nature is key to inspiring our children. We aim to help them build a solid foundation of curiosity, positivity, independence, and resilience so they can endure challenges and embrace triumphs.

We foster proactive learning by having our teachers act as facilitators who learn alongside the children. By building a true partnership in learning, our teachers model the importance of inquiry and adaptability, inspiring children to take ownership of their educational journey.

Our curriculum is grounded in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which supports an integrated approach to early learning and care. This provides us with a set of common principles and commitments to deliver high-quality early education to all children. We are a dedicated, passionate team, and we are currently seeking an Early Years Mandarin Subject Teacher (Part-time) to join our family for the 2026-2027 academic year. Please note that this part-time role will primarily focus on our morning teaching sessions.
