The Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School (BNOFLS) at Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, PR China, is hiring native speaking English teachers.

Working Environment

The school is eight years old and has state-of-the-art facilities. It is managed with a philosophy of education that is a unique blend of the best parts of both eastern and western education.

International teachers are both welcomed and made comfortable here. BNOFLS at Yangzhou is part of the greater BNOFLS education system, the biggest privately owned school enterprise in China with 350,000 students nation-wide at 14 sites.

The new school in Yangzhou opened in September, 2003, with over 1,000 students in grades 1-7. The modern facilities expanded in September, 2004 enrolling 2,000 students in grades 1-8, and again in September 2005 enrolling 2,500 students in grades 1-10.

A convenient bus stop with regular buses to the city is located at the school gates. Yangzhou, a medium sized city of 4.5 million people, is a beautiful mixture of both modern and old traditional style buildings built around an ancient canal system lined, as are the streets, with gorgeous willows. It is about an hour’s drive from Nanjing (the capital city of Jiangsu Province) and about four hours drive north of Shanghai.

With a long history, Yangzhou has many historical and scenic locations to enjoy, such as homes and gardens once privately owned by wealthy salt traders in the distant past, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and the magnificent Slender West Lake Park. Yangzhou is the home of Huaiyang cuisine, one of four famous cuisines in China. It also has a unique bath and massage culture which is a must experience for visitors.

Read International Teachers' Profile for 2010-2011 School Year


Hi – my name’s Paul. In 2003 I embarked on a new career as an educator travelling to Asia for the first time to take on new challenges as an ESL teacher. Leaving my home of Perth, in Western Australia after a career in Medical Science I was invigorated and captivated by the dynamism and people of the region.

Convinced by my experiences engaging with and teaching children, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I determined to make ESL education my career and studied for and completed a Masters Degree in Linguistics. Since then I have worked extensively teaching English in schools, universities and in private education in Korea, Taiwan and now in China.

Returning for a second year at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School at Yangzhou, it is my privilege to be able to serve in a new capacity as the Director of International Teachers. It is my hope that the experiences and education of our teachers will enable us to guide our students in mastering not only a new language but endowing them with the skills, ability and confidence to engage with a new culture and the world.



They say China is the best place to visit as it has roots to all Asian culture. I could not agree more. My name is Margiyu and I'm from Indonesia. Students and friends call me Gyu. When I first arrived in 2003, I thought it would take me just a year, but then a year was not enough to learn the rich Chinese culture. It was wonderful that the school extended a second year of employment, and so another, and following, and here comes my 8th year in Yangzhou!

All those years passed in a blink of an eye, yet all the teaching and learning experience is just unbelievable and so precious. In my first year, I was assigned to teach grades 1, 5, and 7. Just last year, my grade 1 students, those faces I recall, cute, adorable, front teeth-less, entered the secondary school, and those who were in grade 7 bid me goodbye to their dream universities, both in China and abroad! It is such a fulfilling feeling to watch them grow in our school, grow well and grow tall!

This year of 2010- 2011 is my second year holding the responsibilities of Vice Director. I am entrusted to work together with Paul Tapper solidly and we both are looking forward to be working closer to our Chinese colleagues as well as our International team of teachers. We believe that, only by doing so, will we achieve what is best for the school, our colleagues and most importantly our students.
