FOR CANDIDATES

Build a teaching profile schools can understand

Clear experience, relevant teaching evidence and honest preferences help a hiring team understand the kind of role that may suit you.

Make the essentials easy to find

Open your CV with your target role, current city, availability and contact details. Specify the subjects and age groups you can teach, together with your teaching languages. Use the exact names and dates of your qualifications. Label ongoing study as “in progress” so it is clearly distinguished from a completed qualification.

Show evidence of your work

Present employment in reverse chronological order, including the organisation, dates, learner ages and actual responsibilities. Choose one or two examples that show how you think: adapting a classroom task, supporting learners at different levels or improving a lesson after feedback. Include results only when you can explain and substantiate them.

  • Prepare an anonymised lesson plan or a short teaching reflection.
  • Explain your decisions, rather than simply listing activities.

Match the evidence to the role

For subject teaching, highlight curriculum and assessment experience. For coaching, explain the players you worked with, session planning and match responsibilities. A short introduction video can show how you communicate. It does not need to include students. Check permission before sharing any teaching material, and remove names or other identifying details.

State your preferences and introduction boundaries

Separate your preferred city from other locations you would consider. Explain whether you want full-time work or project opportunities. State salary expectations in RMB, specifying gross or net, and list housing or family-related benefits separately. Start your conversation with TFI Talent by sharing your CV and preferences. Before an introduction, confirm the specific role and the school or organisation receiving your information.

  • Keep passport numbers, home addresses and private document scans out of a public profile.
