Job Description
Teach English in Hong Kong: applications open now.
Ready to swap the familiar for skyscrapers, dim sum and island hikes, while building a real international teaching career? Hong Kong is one of the most exciting places in Asia to teach English, and this role is open to graduates with or without teaching experience.
Why teach in Hong Kong?
- A city like no other: neon-lit night markets, mountain trails and more than 260 outlying islands, all within an hour of your front door.
- An established school: join a well-regarded after-school English school with branches across central Hong Kong, teaching small classes of just 4–10 children.
- Strong pay and bonuses: HK$23,000 a month (approx. £2,200), plus a HK$12,000 contract completion bonus and a HK$6,000 training bonus. That's around £28,000 across the year.
- A ready-made community: a sociable network of international teachers already living in Hong Kong, with regular meet-ups and events.
What's included
- Full visa sponsorship: a legal work permit, with support through the whole process.
- Accommodation support: optional, affordable, furnished staff accommodation close to the MTR.
- Training on arrival: full orientation, so you start confident rather than thrown in at the deep end.
- A mentor from day one: an experienced teacher to support you as you settle in.
- Curriculum provided: lesson plans and materials are ready for you, so there's no planning from scratch every Sunday night.
- Paid leave: 12 days of annual leave on a one-year renewable contract.
Your role
- Teach lively, communicative English classes to young learners.
- Bring energy and creativity to a curriculum that's already built for you.
- Support your students' progress alongside a friendly teaching team.
- Become a valued part of your school community.
What we're looking for
- A bachelor's degree in any subject
- Fluent English
- A TEFL certificate (don't have one? We can get you certified)
- Genuine enjoyment of working with children
- An adaptable, positive attitude and an appetite for a new culture
Start dates
Start in any month of the year. The application process takes around a month, with full support through the visa stage, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you go.

- Complete our short registration form.
- Shortlisted candidates are invited to an online interview.
