Use Your Experience in a New Way
If you have experience working in kindergartens or nurseries, you already have many valuable skills that can help you succeed as an ECC teacher.
1. Transferable Skills from Previous Jobs
Children's attention shifts quickly, and keeping them engaged requires skill. If you have experience in early childhood education, you already know how to:
Capture children’s interest and keep them focused
Manage a classroom and create a positive learning environment
Communicate effectively with parents and fellow teachers
By combining your existing experience with ECC’s training, you can deliver fun and effective English lessons.
2. Teaching Without Prior English Education Experience
Even if you have never taught English before, ECC provides detailed training. The focus of the lessons is to create a fun learning experience, not just teaching grammar and vocabulary. With interactive activities, children naturally develop an interest in English.
3. Expand Your Career Opportunities
Working as an ECC instructor allows you to develop both teaching and language skills. Many of ECC teachers go on to:
Become full-time English instructors at ECC Kids or ECC Language Schools
Open their own ECC Junior classroom
Explore other opportunities in English education
With ECC, your teaching experience can open new doors in your career.
A Fulfilling Teaching Experience
Many teachers find joy and personal growth in working with children. Teaching English is not just about language; it’s about building confidence and encouraging curiosity.
1. Be a Role Model for Children
Your role as a teacher goes beyond teaching English. By demonstrating confidence in speaking the language, you become a role model for children, inspiring them to communicate without fear. Seeing them progress from shy learners to confident speakers is one of the most rewarding aspects of this job.
2. Improve Your Own Communication Skills
Teaching young children enhances your ability to express yourself clearly. You will naturally develop better:
Verbal and non-verbal communication skills
Storytelling and explanation techniques
Confidence in using English
These skills can benefit you not only in teaching but also in other areas of life.
3. Help Children Build Self-Confidence
One of the most satisfying parts of this job is seeing children gain confidence. Many of them start with little to no English knowledge, but over time, they begin greeting, introducing themselves, and responding in English. Encouraging and praising their progress is key to making them enjoy learning.
