Huainan Aston English School is a small school in Anhui province. We are a franchise brand looking to expand and develop ourselves within Huainan.

I’m Adam, one of the foreign teachers currently working here with my fiancé. 3 years ago we had the opportunity to purchase shares in Huainan Aston, and have developed it into the successful school it is today. Now (after 9 years in China) I and my fiancé are looking to settle down back in the UK and start a family, as a result we have handed over our school to a bright new management team and looking for 2 new enthusiastic teachers to replace us.

We hope to find 2 professional and open minded individuals to take over our classes here ASAP. Unlike other schools where you will perhaps have to deal with Chinese foreign liaison officers who (more than often) don’t know how to deal/communicate proffesionally with foreigners; newly recruited teachers will have to pleasure of being introduced to a new life here by me. I will be undertaking your training and making sure you get the best possible start here in Huainan, with guidance that only a well travelled foreigner can give.

Have a look below about the contract we are offering and please get in contact with me if you have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

About us
Huainan English Aston is a small school of around 250 students.
We have a small close team of around 12 people which include 2 foreign teachers.
Huainan Aston was originally a failing school with only around 50 students but was bought by 2 foreign franchisees who gradually (over the course of 3 years) managed to build up the school to where it is today.
The franchisee ownership has now changed hands to a new management team which is now working closely with the previous foreign owners to build and grow the school to new heights.

Huainan is a small but developed town located about 1 hour by the slow train from Hefei, the capital of Anhui province. For a small town, it’s extremely well connected to other major hubs in China; due to a high speed railway station being built 3 years ago. Now you can travel to Shanghai in 4 hours or Beijing in 5. This makes Huainan perfect for foreigners seeking a small town lifestyle but wanting to be able to easily get out and about if need be. You can save money here and also travel to Fuzhou on your weekend off if you so desire, something most small cities in China can’t boast. Huainan, as stated before, is more developed than other small cities in China, one can go shopping for cheese in Carrefour or RT Mart, grab a draft beer at the local watering hole, get fat at McDonald’s, Pizza Hut or Dairy Queen, as well as dance the night away in a club if that tickles your fancy.

If you’re looking to have the real China experience but be able to get away at a moments notice then Huainan is exactly what you are looking for!
