Apply to be Teacher of the Year 2018-19

‘Teacher of the Year’ is very important to HiredinChina, as we enjoy sharing the success stories of teachers who are doing the extra, the unasked and who are pushing the boundaries of English as a second language learning. We view this as greatly significant, as we hope to inspire others, allow people to synergise ideas and create a community of teachers who are proud of showing their passion for teaching through the English language. We hope, by acting as a medium, we can share success stories to encourage others and enable them to create greater benefits for their community. A ‘Teacher of the Year’ shows passion for teaching, is enthusiastic about their role and understands how important it is to do their best consistently for the benefit of their language learners.

Why Mark Thaxter 2017-2018?

Mark showed his enthusiasm for English teaching through his online content that allowed the whole globe to learn English with him. We announced Mark as English ‘Teacher of the Year’ because he created imaginative content that was both high in quality and very energetic, important for his target audience of young learners. What impressed us more, however, is how Mark used both songs and short class lessons, tailored content and even adapted his lessons in his daily class before showing them to the wider public. This showed foresight as Mark tweaked and improved his content for the benefit of the viewer. View Mark’s ‘Teacher of the Year’ Page.
