Part-Time Mandarin Teacher, Aguinaldo International School, Philippines Teacher

This school is based in Manila, Philippines and is looking for a Part-Time Mandarin Teacher

We believe that early development occurs best in an enriched environment where each child is encouraged and challenged but neither hurried nor hindered. They work independently at times and in cooperative groups at other times. We include ‘traditional’, ‘progressive’ and ‘emergent’ teaching approaches: the best of each! The traditional approach offers children an academic head start when they enter Grade 1; the progressive strategies help children to develop social skills and higher-level thinking; and the emergent style helps children develop their own areas of interest, which helps them to love learning!

Each class has a head teacher and a qualified teacher assistant. Instruction is personalized for each student; we can do this because our classrooms have small student/teacher ratios. A primary task of the teacher is to observe each child closely in order to determine his or her specific needs and learning style. With this knowledge, the teacher can introduce materials, skills and concepts appropriate to each child’s interests and growth level. In addition, we work to build each child’s self esteem, confidence and independence whilst developing a caring attitude for others and the world.
