Descripción
We are a board game rental and educational shop located in Houlong, Miaoli County, Taiwan. We also have English learning classes for children ages 5 to 12, and music together class as well.
Our teaching style is more interesting than typical cram schools in Taiwan. We use music, board games, English picture books, indoor & outdoor activities and so on for children to learn while playing rather than focusing on textbook and homework.
We hope to provide a good English speaking environment for our students. Therefore, we are looking for a English speaker to join us, having fun together.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
