HESS International Educational Organization

Be more than a teacher. Be an inspiration! Choose a career that opens up a world of new cultures, unique people and wonderful travel opportunities. Founded in 1983, HESS is the largest private language school in Taiwan. HESS operates more than 150 schools throughout Taiwan and employs nearly 600 native-speaking English teachers. We have almost 30 years of experience looking after new and experienced teachers. In addition to our competitive salary, HESS guarantees teaching hours and awards annual student-return rate and contract-completion bonuses. You don't need a TEFL certificate (bachelor’s degree holders) to apply. In fact, after completing our free training program, you will earn a TEFL while getting paid for practicum teaching! HESS also offers free airport pick-up for new teachers, paid hotel accommodation during training and a comprehensive initial training before arriving at your school. In addition, new teachers are eligible to take advantage of an interest-free start-up loan of NT$30,000 (US$1,000)! After initial training is complete, new teachers will be offered housing/location assistance from staff at their assigned branch. HESS also has bookstores, an award-winning educational research department and publishing company, an in-house training department, the HESS Educational Charity Foundation and branches in Canada, Singapore and Korea. These features enable us to offer a range of opportunities for advancement and diversification to successful teachers.
