As instructors teaching one on one and small group lessons, we are able to offer students “Blended Learning” with scaffold instruction and authentic materials. Blended learning combines offline learning with face-to-face online learning. Offline learning can include a variety of phoneme training, reading and self-assessments, written assignments, work-sheet, and listening exercises. Face-to –Face online learning involves the use of online programs and resources and real-time interaction with an ESL instructor.
The most important aspect of blended learning is that none of the offline components are unsupported by the teacher, they are actually EXTENSIONs of the online teaching-learning experience. The teacher is still guiding the student and is actively taking part in the child’s learning even when they are not together in the online classroom. Other than following the set schedule and minimal help with homework, the parent(s) is not required to take part in any actual instruction. The key idea behind blended learning is that students and parents have some control over time, pace, path, and place. Allowing students to take some control of their learning increases their motivation to learn and allows them the time needed to work through the material.We are an online provider of English language lessons. Based in Hong Kong, we connect professional ESL teachers located anywhere in the world with students in Hong Kong and China via interactive virtual classrooms.
We provide guidance and assistance to students, tailored to their individual abilities and learning needs. We aim to develop autonomy and independence in our young learners, and focus on helping them hone skills that would enhance their lifelong learning.
We are the only English education company in Hong Kong/China that works exclusively with professional ESL teachers. Our teaching system is designed by and for professionals, with the main goal of allowing our teachers to focus on what they do best - teaching.
Our professional teachers are the ultimate decision-makers for devising the best ways to help our students become near native in English. We strongly believe in our teachers’ expertise in determining what our students need and how best to motivate them.
Our core competitive advantage is our professionalism. We have a carefully designed process that is complemented by a capable team of support staff. Our goal is to reduce tedious administrative work that often tie up teachers' precious time to a minimum.
Your teaching schedule will be flexible yet stable. You can decide which days and hours you want to teach, and we will do our best to fill up your available time slots. In addition, You can work at any quiet location that has stable Internet connection.
Due to time differences, teachers normally only teach part-time with us. Students are assigned gradually, and it takes some time for a new teacher to build up her/his student base. It is NOT suitable for teachers who are only looking for a short-term job.
We originated from Seagull Publishing Co., a publisher in educational materials in Hong Kong. With more than 50 years of history, it is the oldest independent publisher of the city. In 2011, we created ESL Premier and started to build a system that aims to help at least 80% of all students to become near-native in English. We are still working towards achieving this goal.
Comments from our current and former teachers.
For the past 6 years, I've enjoyed working with ESL Premier. Kind, professional, totally awesome supervisors ... amazing students ... couldn't ask for a better job!
Elizabeth White
M.S. Ed.
I believe that superior teachers empathize with children, respect them and believe that each one has something unique that can be built upon. However, great teachers can only thrive when they collaborate with a school which shares that same conviction about their students. ESL Premier is exactly that kind of school.

I have worked with ESL Premier for over 4 years. I love that the company is considerate of their teachers, strives for excellence in their work, and always does what is best for the student.

Many schools claim to teach English as a Second Language but few have the means to do so successfully from start to finish. ESL Premier programs are designed for all students to thrive based on Individualized study plans and teacher accountability. I applaud their professional and academic approach and rank the school among the best!
