Thank you for your interest in joining CGSKid as a teacher for our ESL Parenting class. We provide an international learning experience to Chinese children ages 1-3 in our virtual classrooms. We offer fully immersive group English language instruction combining dance, singing, physical activities, and emotional intelligence.
You probably have a lot of questions, and we have answers.
You need at least a bachelor’s degree and a TESOL/TEFL certificate is preferred. You must be at least 18 years old and have experience working with young children
Step 1: Application Review
Once you’ve confirmed that the teaching times match your availability, send in your
the application so we can look it over.
Step 2: Demo Class Submission
If your credentials and experience match what we’re looking for, we’ll ask you to submit a 2-3 minute demo video. We want to see how you would teach a simple concept to babies and toddlers 1-3 years old.
Step 3: Interview
If we love your demo video, we’ll invite you to schedule a live 20-minute demo class and interview with our staff.
Step 4: Training
If you pass the demo class, you’ll do a training class with our trainer.
Step 5: You’re in!
(if you pass the training class)
Sign your contract and get ready to start teaching students.
Step 6: Final Systems Check
You’ll do a final systems check on our teaching platform.
There are no more than 4 students in a class. Don’t worry, each student will have at least one parent in attendance to help direct the children.
No! Our curriculum team has already designed materials for every class. However, we ask that teachers prepare for class by reviewing the content beforehand in their teaching portal.
We have developed our own cutting-edge platform to facilitate our classes.
