Flying English Shanghai

Maybe the best job I've ever had. Everyone is treated with care and respect. They are so accommodating and helpful to those coming to a foreign place. You are challenged to an appropriate level and in a way that improves your professional and personal performance. The entire unit works together as a team brilliantly to maximize everybody's ability.

I'm in my 3rd contract with Flying English, and it's been amazing to be a part of this family. Everyone here is treated with respect, and our opinions are valued. The management here supports us greatly in training, teaching-related matters, and also with things outside of school, such as sending us supplies and helping with personal matters, making sure we're all well taken care of during the lockdowns. From managing the day-to-day, to issues from the covid pandemic, I think their actions speak volumes with regard to their teaching/management philosophy, which translates to improved quality of teaching for the students and a great experience for the teachers. Like many others entering a new country and field, I believe a bad first experience will turn the passion for teaching sour, while a good experience would provide the energy and fuel to continue forward. And Flying English, definitely belongs in the latter half here. My overall experience here is nothing short of excellent, and I highly recommend this school, especially for those looking for new beginnings teaching English in Shanghai.

When I graduated from university, I really wanted to indulge in something different. I knew teaching English abroad could be that 'different' that I needed, but the process for finding a school to work for was grueling. I went through so many interviews (yes, even the shady ones) and none of them felt right until I interviewed with Flying English. It was clear that our values aligned and that they had my best interest in mind. After the call, I knew this was the school for me. Being able to teach with Flying English has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had. It was an opportunity that really nurtured my growth. I feel extremely fortunate that I was able to find a school that really cares about their employees. They go out of their way to provide you with all the resources you need to make your transition into Shanghai seamless. I felt reassured knowing that I had this kind of support. In addition, all the other teachers and teaching assistants were amazing to work with. It felt like a family. Since it's a smaller school, you're really able to cultivate more meaningful and personable connections with everyone, including your students. These intimate learning environments allowed me to understand my students individually, which made my job that much more fulfilling. Flying English has offered me so many wholesome and rewarding experiences. I would recommend this school to anyone in a heartbeat.
