DescriptionAbout Us
HESS is one of the largest private English language education providers in Taiwan. We were founded over 40 years ago and employ over 3,000 Taiwanese staff and over 500 English teachers from around the world at 200 schools throughout Taiwan.
Our students range in age from about three to 12 years old.
Our curriculum encompasses all aspects of the English language, is highly structured, and empowers students to use English naturally.
Our English teachers come from around the world to experience life in Taiwan. Some stay for one year, but the average tenure of our teachers is 3-5 years. Our longest-serving teachers have been with us for over 30 years!

About Taiwan
- Lay of the land: The majority of Taiwan’s 23 million people (and all HESS schools!) are located on Taiwan’s main island and live in highly-urbanized cities on the west coast, with mountain ranges separating the west from the small towns and beaches of the east coast. Taiwan is sub-tropical in the north and tropical in the south, with warm, humid, and sometimes rainy weather throughout the year. Excellent transportation links connect every corner of Taiwan and Taiwan’s outlying islands. Taiwan is also the perfect home base for vacationing across East and Southeast Asia.
- Famous for: Open society, friendly people, safety, delicious night market snacks, excellent hiking and biking, hot and cold springs, fascinating history, unique cultural offerings, and so much more
- Languages: Mandarin is the common language, and many of our teachers learn some Mandarin during their time in Taiwan. Taiwanese, Hakka, and indigenous languages are also spoken here.
