We also have a state of the art language lab to compliment lesson plans. Class sizes never exceed 20 students per class; we prefer to keep classes to a 15-student average.

Our school is managed my self, an English native and A Chinese Center Manager. As DoS I am proactive in providing a support network for teachers in all aspects of their work.

Further information:
Presently we have 8 native English-speaking teachers from U.S, U.K and Australia and 2 Chinese English teachers. Due to the opening of a new school and growing clientele we are looking to recruit 6 new full time teachers. in addition, we plan to open a third school towards the end of 2004. Such development will create further opportunities for academic development of teachers who are looking to move forward in EFL.

English First is a world leader of language learning and we currently have over 100 schools world wide - 53 in China alone.
I hope this has been helpful and offered a clear insight.
