We are a proud and well established member of the global EF community, which is the world’s largest private education company. Our first Tianjin EF school opened in 2001 and since then we’ve been growing rapidly. We now have 5 schools and a successful Corporate Language Training Unit (CLT). Our English language programs cater to a diverse range of Chinese learners and we currently have over 4000 students studying with us. We offer curriculum for kindergarten, primary school and high school students, and also deliver comprehensive adult courses for both general and business English.

Tianjin – The city

Tianjin is located at northeast of North China, facing Bohai River on east and bordering the Yanshan Mountain in north. Only 30 minutes train ride from the capital city, Beijing, it was host to a number of events at the Olympic Games in 2008. A modern city nicknamed ‘The Shanghai of the North’, Tianjin is also blessed with an abundant variety of spectacular natural excursions.

Tianjin has a rich history that you’ll see in the old British and Italian concession areas, the port and the many examples of European architecture. As China’s third largest city with a population of over 10 million people, Tianjin is developing and modernizing rapidly. Fortunately, the city has retained an authentic Chinese way of life and you’ll find the people to be extremely friendly and the city to be very safe and inexpensive.

The best known scenic spots and historical sites include the Panshan Scenery Area, the Park on the Water, the Garden of Tranquility, the Palace of Heavenly Empress and even a section of the Great Wall of China at the Huangya Pass.

The DoS opportunity is at Teda, which teaches 80% young learners and 20% adult classes. The school is equipped with interactive white boards with internet access and sound systems which will take the learning experience to a whole new level.
