Hess Education Organization has been educating English to children and adults in Taiwan for more that 25 years; similarly we have been employing and looking after English teachers for 25 year. We continuously strive to improve our company through better understanding of our students and our teachers. We make sure that our teachers are trained, adjusted and supported by the best team possible and that their time in Hess is one that is both memorable and valuable. While others try, we succeed in making sure that our teachers are looked after inside and outside the classrooms.

When deciding between different schools to work for, ask yourself this question, what is your biggest fear in going to a foreign country? Some people might say lack of friends; others language barrier, but most will mention culture shock. At Hess, we have 25 years of experience dealing with culture shock and have developed tried and tested methods to help you adjust in Taiwan. Its not just about settling in, but getting comfortable as well as acquainted with the country, its people and the fabulous possibilities in Taiwan.

Teaching in Taiwan is not only a great way to visit and experience the diverse and unique culture, but also a chance for you to enrich another person’s life, and by doing so enriching your own life. Education is an important step into personal, professional and societal improvement - it is a contribution towards humanity.
