About Taiwan

Lay of the land: The majority of Taiwan’s 23 million people (and all HESS schools!) are located on Taiwan’s main island and live in highly-urbanized cities on the west coast, with mountain ranges separating the west from the small towns and beaches of the east coast. Taiwan is sub-tropical in the north and tropical in the south, with warm, humid, and sometimes rainy weather throughout the year. Excellent transportation links connect every corner of Taiwan and Taiwan’s outlying islands. Taiwan is also the perfect home base for vacationing across East and Southeast Asia.

Famous for: Open society, friendly people, safety, delicious night market snacks, excellent hiking and biking, hot and cold springs, fascinating history, unique cultural offerings, and so much more

Languages: Mandarin is the common language, and many teachers learn some Mandarin during their time in Taiwan. Taiwanese, Hakka, and indigenous languages are also spoken here.

Competitive Pay: Staring pay ranges from 680-730 NTD per teaching hour, plus an additional 3,000 NTD per month for completing administrative work.

Secure Hours: You are guaranteed a minimum of 20 teaching hours per week. HESS teachers average 25-26 teaching hours per week.
