This is a language training school located in urban city of Huizhou, Guangdong Province in south China.
Huizhou is a medium-sized city of about 4 million people and has been awarded as One of the Top 10 Cleanest Cities in China and One of the Top 10 Tourist Cities in China. In the center of the city is a big lake called West Lake.
Some tourist attractions are the hot springs ranking as the first in Asia, beaches, golf courts and so on. We have different kinds of restaurants serving Chinese and western food as well. You can find various places for entertainment like bars, gyms, bowling alleys, pool halls and others. More importantly, you never have to pay as much as you do in big cities like Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai (oops!). There is a bus running from some downtown hotels to Hong Kong directly and a bus from Huizhou Bus Station to Shenzhen Airport, which is about one hourĄ¯s ride.
It takes about two hours to get to Guangzhou by bus. There are two main railway stations in Huizhou running to places all over China.
New Idea Education is a language training school established in May of 2006 with the license No. 4413027000039. It is owned by three women including two experienced teachers who have been teaching English to kids and adults for years and have been doing demonstration teaching in many cities in China and have accumulated and gained a good reputation among students and teachers as well. The students in the center at present are mainly young children from age 4 to age 16.
There are 5 to 10 kids in each class normally and there is always a Chinese teacher helping the foreign teacher prepare lessons for each class because the foreign teacher usually teaches 70% of one teaching period and the Chinese teacher covers the rest, doing follow-up teaching, which is, in our opinion, the best combination of Chinese and western ways of teaching. We have some VIP classes, i.e. one on one teaching and some teaching for our sister schools nearby. The foreign teacher is supposed to work five days a week, 20 classes at most (45/50 minutes per class), and help with the schoolĄ¯s promotional activities indoors and outdoors and can have some days off for some Chinese public holidays and also some western ones. |
