We are an English-intensive training and education center based in Kuala Lumpur, combining curriculum instruction with learning management, dedicated to providing students with a high-quality, immersive English learning environment.

Currently, the center is in its early stages of development, and we sincerely invite an experienced, responsible education manager who is willing to grow together with the team to join us.

Responsibilities

Teaching & Academic Management

Fully responsible for planning, implementing, and supervising the English teaching system.

Guide and enhance the teaching quality of English teachers (curriculum design, classroom management, assessment, and feedback).

Develop teaching standards, select teaching materials, and optimize courses.

Monitor student learning progress and teaching outcomes to ensure teaching quality.

Daily Center Operations & Supervision

Assist shareholders in managing daily operations of the center (class scheduling, teacher allocation, etc.).

Supervise internal processes to ensure efficient and orderly operations.

Demonstrate flexibility and multi-functionality during the early startup stage.

Administrative / Financial / Promotional Support (not professional accounting or marketing roles)

Basic financial awareness: assist with simple expense management, budget tracking, and accounting coordination.

Assist in course promotion and marketing ideas (copywriting suggestions, event support).

Work in coordination with marketing or administrative staff, rather than completing all tasks independently.

Requirements

Relevant academic background in English education with over 5 years of English teaching experience.

Experience in teaching management, curriculum research, or academic leadership is preferred.

Familiarity with international school systems, English intensive courses, ESL, or EAL teaching is a plus.

Strong communication and team management skills.

Responsible, proactive, and adaptable to multi-tasking in a startup environment.

Proficient in both English and Chinese for communication (English can be used as the working language).

Ideal Candidate Profile

Not just “working for a job,” but willing to contribute to the growth of an education center.

Capable of managing teaching while participating in operational strategy discussions.

Holds educational ideals while possessing practical implementation abilities.

Reliable, positive attitude, and committed to long-term development.

Salary & Growth

Salary: Negotiable (based on experience and ability).

Opportunities for growth, with potential promotion to core management as the center develops.

Outstanding performers may participate in profit-sharing or partnership schemes (negotiable).
