Are you an experienced Mandarin teacher who can engage children and make learning a second language fun?

Are you looking for a school that values foreign language acquisition, multiculturalism and professional development?

Sonder Creek Academy (SCA) is an independent K – 8 school in Walnut Creek. We are going into our third school year, already have over 100 students, and are looking for exceptional teachers to join our growing team.

We have an opening for a Kindergarten & First Grade Mandarin Teacher to join us for the 2022/2023 school year (and then beyond).

The Schedule is Monday to Friday from 1pm – 6pm. This includes teaching Mandarin in our full day and afterschool program as well as helping to provide supervision in our after care program.

Why teach Mandarin at SCA?

• We value foreign language acquisition! We want students to really learn a language and so classes are four to five days per week
• We want learning Mandarin to be fun. More activities, games and conversations; less memorizing vocabulary and grammar
• We have the best team of teachers and the most supportive families; work in a positive environment that values you and what you do

What are we looking for in an SCA Mandarin teacher?

• Native or fluent level Mandarin ability
• The ability to teach class entirely (90%+) in Mandarin as you make learning fun and successful
• Experience teaching multiple ages and experience creating your own lessons and activities (we can help with goals, materials and support, but you will be expected to develop the lessons day-to-day)
• A positive attitude! Students look forward to your class, colleagues look forward to you being on campus, and parents look forward to seeing you at school and school events.

Interested candidates, please submit a resume and a brief note introducing yourself and what you are looking for.
