The position also involves a range of administrative responsibilities including maintaining and marking portfolios of students work, engaging with parents on class progress, and completing student reports.

Penang
Our three centres are located in Straits Quay Marina on Penang Island, and on the mainland in Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam (Alma). All are close to residential and shopping areas with a wide range of affordable condos having good facilities such as a pool and gym. Commuting to all centres is quite easy and no matter where you teach you can choose to live on either Penang Island or on the mainland. Penang Island is popular with expatriates and Malaysians alike and affords a wide range of recreational and outdoor activities while historical Georgetown has UNESCO World Heritage Site status. The cost of living is much more affordable than in many major cities in the region.
