Điều Phối Học Thuật - Atlantic Five-Star English Center

Atlantic Five-Star English is recruiting a Vietnamese Academic Coordinator for our Five-Star English language centers in Hanoi, Vietnam. Our students are mainly teens and young adults (no kindergarten / primary), studying a combination of general English, academic skills, and IELTS exam preparation.

We offer a true 21st-century teaching environment with small class sizes, smartboards in every classroom, tablets for every student, home-cooked meals for students and staff, and the finest Japanese toilets you’ve ever seen (seriously)! Our teachers, classes and facilities are a cut above the rest, and we’re looking for an academic coordinator who is the same.

The ideal candidate will have an eye for problems that need to be solved, an ear for colleagues’ needs, and a head full of ideas for building a great English language center. She or he will also be able to get things done, and will be flexible to adapt to new duties as the center grows.
