Job Description:
The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) was founded with a vision to nurture globally minded students. This vision emerged from the Chinese educational philosophy of De (heart), Zhi (mind), and Ti (body), aiming to equip students with the ability to understand others, express empathy, and work towards conflict reduction.
Aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB) educational philosophy, WISS opened its doors to students on September 6, 2006. Since then, it has grown from a small cohort of 17 students to a vibrant community of hundreds of learners. Today, WISS proudly hosts students from more than 50 nationalities, representing nearly 40 languages.
A dedicated ESL teacher thrives on patience, empathy, and a genuine desire to see learners grow. They communicate clearly, listen attentively, and remain adaptable when students struggle or when lessons need adjustment. A strong sense of cultural sensitivity helps them connect with learners from diverse backgrounds, while creativity allows them to turn everyday situations into meaningful learning moments. Above all, integrity, consistency, and a warm, encouraging attitude help students feel safe, supported, and confident as they develop their language skills.
