Gold Star TEFL Recruitment are now recruiting passionate and qualified EFL teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching young learners in Yangon and Mandalay, Myanmar. Founded in 2000 by Educational Psychologists and headquartered in Singapore with currently over 160 learning centers across 14 countries, we are one of the leading English education brands in Asia. Through our unique teaching methodology, we ensure that our students develop long-term excellence in all four skills – reading, writing, speaking and listening.
We offer a full range of English Language & Literacy courses for students aged 2.5 – 14 years old with small class sizes. Through these scientifically designed courses students develop their English linguistic abilities in a natural way, similar to the manner in which we learn our first language. This style of learning has proven to be highly effective.
We have a strong commitment to excellence so we provide our staff with training courses facilitated by professional qualified trainers. Many years have been spent on developing our own curriculum and syllabus; you will have full access to these excellent resources along with continuous support from our managers and teacher trainers.
TEACH ENGLISH IN YANGON:
Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar and the city is an amalgamation of English, Burmese, Chinese and Indian influences, and is known for its colonial architecture, which although decaying and beyond appreciation, remains an almost unique example of a 19th-century British colonial capital. New high-rise buildings were constructed from the 1990s.
Yangon is the most exotic of all Southeast Asian cities. A walk down a typical street, the sights show noticeable commercial and traffic signs written mostly in local alphabet, not to mention the appearance of wandering monks in burgundy robes and the gilded pagodas as this is expected in this Buddhist country, and down to the locals keeping up their appearances.
TEACH ENGLISH IN MANDALAY:
Mandalay is a city and former royal capital in northern Myanmar (formerly Burma) on the Irrawaddy River. In its center is the restored Mandalay Palace from the Konbaung Dynasty, surrounded by a moat. Mandalay Hill provides views of the city from its summit, which is reached by covered stairway. At its foot, the Kuthodaw Pagoda houses hundreds of Buddhist-scripture-inscribed marble slabs.
