MEF World was established in Japan over 20 years ago and expanded to China a few of years ago. We offer one of the best training systems, along with full teacher support and a full line of educational resources for teachers to use. Most importantly, we bridge the culture gap so that teachers have the best ESL teaching experience in China. Most of our teachers work full time in kindergarten schools, with better working hours than they can receive in language schools. They also have our cultural support, which stops them from needing to work late or beyond the normal hours expected while working for a Chinese company directly. Almost all of the teachers that have joined the program say that China is an amazing experience but it is also a country of immense cultural differences and there are challenges which MEF World is the leader in supporting teachers for the smoothest transition possible.
