About Program
Starting from a single school in the 1980s, HESS Education has grown into the most recognized English education company in Taiwan. In addition to over 200 schools located in cities big and small, we have developed a publishing arm, bookstore, overseas study programs, an educational research division, and a charitable foundation. We have decades of experience helping teachers build their teaching careers in Taiwan, whether for one year or a decade (or two, or even three!).
We are looking for English teachers who share our passion for teaching, learning, and discovery: a teacher who understands what it means to provide excellent instruction to students and support to their fellow teachers, but also that teaching is one of the few professions where having fun makes you even better at your job. Are you ready to begin your Taiwan teaching adventure? HESS is waiting for you!
Response from HESS Education
Thank you for your review of HESS.
Our ultimate goal to is provide the best educational experience for our students. This means that our staff members--both foreign and Taiwanese--work hard and put in their time and effort for the benefit of the students.
HESS has clear policies in place as well as an entire department dedicated to making sure that foreign teachers are treated fairly and supported adequately. Compared with other similar schools, HESS is one of the more upfront companies regarding these things. As we have learned from many years in business, happy teachers means happy students, so it is not in anyone's best interest to mistreat or take advantage of the resources that make our educational offerings above the standard.
We are the largest language school in Taiwan and one of the largest single employers of foreigner workers in Taiwan. We have been in business for almost 30 years, and in this time, we have employed thousands of native-speaking teachers at our schools across the country.
Like any organization of our size, there are always some people who are not happy with what we have to offer. These people have a loud voice, but thankfully, they are a small minority, and their views do not reflect those of the thousands of other teachers who have worked for us in the past and those who are still working for us.
If you have any specific questions about HESS, we would be happy to answer them for you. Contact the English Human Resources Department at hesswork@hess.com.tw.
