Our English Teachers
Nothing is more important than your English teacher
We know the difference a great teacher can make. That's why we always ensure that EF English First teachers all hold specialist teaching qualifications. EF English First is the only school in China that runs its own teacher training centers in 4 locations around the world – Boston, London, Manchester, and Sydney. This allows us to screen every teacher for their personality, ability to motivate, as well as their teaching qualifications.
Inspirational teachers who motivate you
EF English First teachers are exceptional in their ability to inspire and motivate our students to learn. Unlike their rote memorization lessons at regular schools EF English First teachers strive to make English learning interesting and fun for every student.
The right teacher for you
We have found that some young students in the lower levels actually learn English faster if some of their classes are taught by top Chinese speaking instructors. That's why, after careful screening and training, we also employ some local Chinese teachers. However 95% of our teaching staffs are native speakers.

"I have been teaching English for the past 20 years since 1985. I've taught in five different countries, at universities, in schools and in the private sector. My experience at EF English First has been varied, rewarding and certainly a challenge. Academically, it has allowed me the flexibility to produce & deliver innovative teaching to our learners. Within the corporate sector, providing quality English language training means that EF English First is, in some measure, contributing to the progress of companies in a globally competitive market. I feel we are a cut above the competition & I am proud to be part of the company."
