Why Annie’s School
A warm, structured place to help children grow through English
Teaching at Annie’s School is more than leading English activities. Teachers guide students through meaningful lessons, support language growth, and work with a local team that understands children, families, and the Taiwan learning context.
A Child-Centered Learning Environment
Students are guided with warmth, routines, visuals, interaction, and clear expectations. Teachers help children feel safe enough to try, speak, read, and grow.
A Clear Curriculum Identity
Teachers may work with Calvert-based Science, ELA, Social Studies, or ESL / Kiwipedia lessons. You are not just filling class time; you are helping students build real language ability.
Support from a Local Team
Local teachers and staff support classroom routines, family communication, student background, and daily operations, helping foreign teachers adjust and teach with confidence.
What You Will Teach
Foreign teachers at Annie’s School help students learn English through both content-based learning and structured language development.
Calvert-Based Content Classes
Teachers may guide students through Science, ELA, and Social Studies using English as the language of learning. These classes help students build vocabulary, reading comprehension, discussion skills, and confidence with academic English.
- Science, ELA, and Social Studies
- Content learning through English
- Reading support and vocabulary building
- Structured speaking and writing tasks
ESL / Kiwipedia Language Development
ESL / Kiwipedia classes focus on language growth through themes, stories, vocabulary, sentence patterns, speaking practice, and guided writing. Teachers help students move from understanding English to actively using it.
- Theme-based reading and listening
- Vocabulary and sentence pattern practice
- Speaking confidence and classroom interaction
- Guided writing and language output
Whether teaching content or ESL, the goal is the same: helping children use English with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Understanding the Taiwan after-school learning context
Many students come to English class after a full day of regular school. Successful teaching in Taiwan combines warmth, structure, clear routines, and practical communication with families and local staff.
More than teaching English
Teaching at Annie’s School means helping children learn English in a real Taiwan learning environment. Students may be energetic, tired, shy, or under family expectations. A strong teacher creates a classroom where children feel safe, supported, and challenged.
Warmth helps students feel comfortable. Structure helps them make progress.
Students arrive after school
Many students come after a full day of regular school. Lessons need clear routines, active pacing, and enough variety to keep children engaged.
Parents look for visible progress
Families want to know what their child can do now. Specific feedback about speaking, reading, vocabulary, and confidence helps build trust.
Scaffolding matters
Students may need sentence frames, examples, visuals, repetition, and guided practice before they can speak or write independently.
Team communication helps
Local teachers and staff understand student history, family expectations, and daily routines. Clear teamwork makes teaching smoother.
At Annie’s School, teachers are supported as they learn both the classroom rhythm and the Taiwan learning culture.
Clear roles, supportive onboarding, and responsible arrangements
Moving to a new country comes with questions about documents, class schedules, work scope, and daily procedures. Annie’s School helps teachers understand their role clearly so they can focus on teaching well.
A school that helps you understand the details
Teachers should not have to figure out unfamiliar administrative procedures alone. During hiring and onboarding, Annie’s School helps teachers understand class arrangements, schedules, documents, and practical expectations before they begin teaching.
If something is unclear, teachers are encouraged to ask before accepting a new class, activity, schedule change, or additional task.
Documents and name consistency
Teachers may be asked to provide passport, degree records, health check documents, photos, contract materials, and other required items. All documents should use names that match the passport. If a name is different, supporting documents such as a name-change record, marriage certificate, or official explanation may be required.
Class schedules and teaching roles
Teachers receive clearer information about the courses, student groups, class times, and teaching responsibilities connected to their role.
Questions before changes
If a class, activity, substitute lesson, or schedule adjustment feels unclear, teachers can ask the school for confirmation before proceeding.
Support during onboarding
The school team supports teachers as they adjust to local procedures, communication habits, classroom routines, and everyday work expectations.
Our goal is simple: help teachers feel prepared, supported, and confident before they enter the classroom.

Document Preparation
After a conditional offer, teachers prepare documents such as passport, degree records, health check, photos, contract materials, and other required items. All names should match the passport, and any name difference should be supported by official documents.
Clear scans, consistent names, and early preparation help prevent delays.

A safe, convenient, and rewarding place to live and teach
For many foreign teachers, Taiwan is not only a place to work. It is also a place to explore, build routines, enjoy local culture, and create a meaningful life experience.
Why teachers enjoy Taiwan
Taiwan is known for its safety, convenience, friendly communities, accessible healthcare, public transportation, and rich local culture. For teachers moving to Asia for the first time, Taiwan is often one of the easier places to settle.
Weekdays are for teaching and building classroom routines. Weekends can be for night markets, coastlines, mountains, historic towns, cafés, museums, and local food.
Safe and convenient daily life
Convenience stores, public transportation, delivery services, and accessible clinics make daily routines easier for new arrivals.
Easy weekend travel
MRT, buses, trains, high-speed rail, and YouBike make it easy to explore cities, coastlines, mountain areas, and historic towns.
Food everywhere
From beef noodles, dumplings, hot pot, breakfast shops, and bubble tea to night markets and international food, Taiwan is easy to enjoy through food.
Cities, mountains, and coastlines
Teachers can explore Taipei, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Taitung, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Kenting, and Taiwan’s offshore islands.
Settling In Essentials
During the first weeks, the goal is stability: a local phone number, transportation card, housing, banking, healthcare, tax awareness, and a clear route to school.
Phone and transport
A local SIM card and EasyCard make maps, banking, school contact, MRT, buses, YouBike, and small payments much easier.
Housing
Check ventilation, humidity, utilities, commute time, garbage arrangements, and whether the address can be used for official purposes.
Healthcare
Clinics and hospitals are accessible. Teachers should confirm insurance timing and keep transitional coverage during the first stage.
Banking and taxes
Teachers should keep salary statements, tax records, ARC copies, and entry-exit information, especially when considering the 183-day rule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions foreign teachers may have before applying, relocating, or beginning work at Annie’s School.
What kind of classes will I teach at Annie’s School?
Foreign teachers may teach Calvert-based content classes such as Science, ELA, and Social Studies, or ESL / Kiwipedia classes focused on language development. The exact schedule and class type depend on the teaching role, student level, and school needs.
Do I need experience teaching children?
Experience with young learners or elementary-age students is strongly helpful. Annie’s School values teachers who can create warm, structured lessons, manage classroom routines, support shy students, and make English understandable through visuals, examples, interaction, and guided practice.
What should I prepare for a demo lesson?
A strong demo lesson should have a clear objective, a warm opening, student participation, checks for understanding, and a short output task. We are interested in your teaching decisions, not just performance or entertainment.
Will the school help with documents and arrival planning?
Annie’s School helps teachers understand the hiring process, document preparation, class arrangements, and practical steps connected to arrival and onboarding. Teachers should still prepare early, keep documents clear, and stay reachable during the process.
Can I start teaching before everything is confirmed?
Teachers should wait until the school confirms the appropriate start date, class arrangement, and required procedures. If anything about a class, activity, schedule change, or additional task is unclear, teachers are encouraged to ask the school first.
Can I take private students or another teaching job in Taiwan?
Teachers should not assume that private tutoring, a second job, online teaching, or extra classes are automatically allowed. These situations may involve work authorization, tax, contract, or scheduling issues. Please check before accepting outside work.
Is Taiwan easy for foreign teachers to live in?
Many foreign teachers find Taiwan safe, convenient, friendly, and easy to settle into. Public transportation, convenience stores, healthcare, food options, and weekend travel are major advantages. Housing, humidity, banking, garbage collection, and Chinese-language contracts may take time to adjust to.
Do I need to speak Chinese?
Chinese is not required for teaching English classes, but learning basic daily phrases will make life much easier. Knowing how to say your address, order food, ask simple questions, and understand basic signs can reduce stress during daily life in Taiwan.
What if the name on my diploma is different from my passport?
Please tell the school as early as possible. If your diploma, background check, or other document uses a different name, you may need to provide official supporting documents such as a name-change record, marriage certificate, court document, or other official explanation.
Will document requirements be the same for every country?
Not always. Requirements may vary depending on passport nationality, where the degree was issued, document language, and case-specific review. Some teachers may need additional authentication or supporting documents. The school will help review the expected document path before submission.
