At a competition rate of 400 to 1, this is how NSEO recruits American teachers.
What Makes a Good Teacher?
NSEO strictly follows three criteria when selecting teachers. The three are (1) quality as an educator, (2) ability to bond with students, and (3) classroom experience.
Education
NSEO teachers are native North American teachers who have majored in English at university, or have teaching experience or teaching qualifications. Teachers must understand English pedagogy and have the ability to maximize learning in a variety of ways.
Personality
NSEO teachers are expected to be kind and friendly with their students at all times. A teacher who is only scary to students is not good. First of all, the teacher should be kind and friendly, and at the same time, be able to teach in depth academically.
Experience
In addition to simply having a degree, you must have experience in group classes and 1:1 classes. This is because beginner teachers with little experience or teachers who are in charge of students for the first time judge that they have not yet been verified.

Competitive Recruitment
Some institutions place the greatest emphasis on the educational background of native speaking teachers. However, NSEO focuses most on academic background and does not hire just any teacher. The teachers in our NSEO program are award-winning educators, leaders in their fields, and constantly research and work on class structures and students. If the goal is to truly learn a language, teachers who have more experience in English teaching and are leaders in the field of English teaching will choose a better teaching method than teachers who graduated from the mathematics department of a prestigious university.
Our NSEO native teachers are selected through five stages.
Step 1: 1st document review
Review of job application documents and original licenses, background investigation (including criminal records and social media)
