DescriptionWe are seeking modern educators for a position that truly stands out in Indonesia for its support, standards, facilities, and career prospects. Work at English 1 in Sumatra, and experience first-hand the impact you can have on a child’s development and education, while growing your career through the support of our network and experienced teams. We foster creative, passionate teams at our centre, enabling you to fully realise your potential, and in turn be part of a group that strives to build a creative environment for our students!
Our schools are a part of YHA Group, one of the biggest growing groups in the English 1 family, and the biggest in Sumatra and the Riau Islands. We are a young group, with the drive and energy to provide amazing English classes for our students, and at the same time providing a real gateway for our foreign teachers to truly experience the beauty of different Indonesian cultures and nature. Some may choose Bali for the reputation, others may choose Jakarta for the big-city feel, but Sumatra and Riau Islands are where you can really feel the mix of tradition and modernity. Our location provides an excellent gateway for exploring local cultures and natural wonders, as well as visiting nearby powerhouses such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
Our cities:
- Batam: The heart of the Riau Islands, and within sight of Singapore & Malaysia, and the local delights of Bintan Island!
- Bengkulu: Home to one of the longest beaches in Asia, a traditional city on the West Coast of Sumatra, where you can enjoy your time off at a slower pace of life!
- Binjai: A smaller city near Medan, famous for its fruit and peaceful living! Within easy reach of Gunung Leuser National Park, where you can explore the jungles and experience real Sumatran Nature.
