WHY THINKWRITESPEAK

Not Every Teaching Job Is the Same

Most roles in this city are ESL positions at chain schools. Repetitive, low-stakes, and intellectually thin. ThinkWriteSpeak is a different kind of work.

WHO WE ARE

A specialist coaching programme, built from scratch in Shanghai.

ThinkWriteSpeak was founded with a straightforward conviction: the ability to think clearly, write well, and argue confidently is not supplementary. It is the foundation of everything else.

We work with students from Grade 1 to Grade 12, across some of the most competitive international schools in Shanghai and China. They are already receiving an exceptional education. They come to us because they want their writing and their arguments to match everything else they are doing.

Our Team

Our coaches have an extensive background in writing and debate. They are not grammar instructors. They are people who care about what happens when a student’s argument finally lands, when the sentence works because it has been thought through, not just written down.

Coach Minnie

“One of the most inspiring parts of teaching and coaching here has been watching students overcome their own fears and limitations. From struggling to speak confidently in front of a room, to standing proudly on stages winning trophies, delivering speeches and believing in themselves in ways they never thought possible.”

WE ARE HIRING

Teach something worth teaching, in a city worth living in.

We are looking for writing and debate coaches who are serious about the craft and ready for something different. Visa support provided. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
