We are only able to hire college/university graduates with passports from Native English speaking countries.  If you’re interested in joining our dynamic international community of teachers, please forward your resume and contact information to:  Scott Chrastkascott.chrastka@gmail.com159 6842 9900 For further information on Ningbo, see the following websites: www.ningboguide.com www.helloningbo.com
