Picture









CCTC (潮州三环(集团)股份有限公司) is a leading ceramic electronics components manufacturer in the world that has over 6,000 employees and quite a few of its products are ranked No. 1 in the world.

As CCTC has more and more business in the international market, we hope our engineers will be able to communicate directly with our customers. CCTC is looking for English teachers to help the engineers to improve their listening comprehension and speaking proficiency levels. The English teachers will work with the engineers closely. The teachers may need to have lessons in a small group (3-7 peoples). What’s more important is that they will show how to use correct and simple English in daily life.

CCTC will hire 3-5 English teachers. The candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree, must be a native US English speaker with good personality, independent teaching. Interest in business and industry is a plus. This is a 3 month commitment, preferably longer.

Compensations include round trip air ticket from US to China, local transportation, apartment with furniture, good food, plus a salary of RMB5,000-6,000 (about US$800-950) per month.

The job is located at Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, China, which is a beautiful small-medium city with over 1,500 years of history. It takes 4-5 hours driving from Shenzhen or Hong Kong (later this year, only 1.5 hour with high speed train). Chaozhou is named as the Ceramics Capital of China. There still exists lot of traditional Chinese buildings.
