The foundation for top-quality teaching
Wesley Academy believes that the quality of education begins with the quality of the teacher’s team. A good curriculum is only truly valuable when delivered by teachers who are good at their subject matter, have solid methods, and are full of enthusiasm.
Therefore, Wesley Academy has set strict standards for selecting and training teachers, considering this the core to guarantee the quality of teaching and the progress of students. The teacher’s team is not simply people in the classroom, but is educational experts who are selected, trained, and continuously evaluated to achieve the highest standards.

Assessment of teaching capacity through many rounds
After passing the application and interview rounds, candidates must go through many different testing stages to assess their actual teaching capacity.
2.1. Mandatory teaching demo
Candidates must conduct a teaching demo under the supervision of the academic department. Through this demo, the center evaluates:
- Lesson implementation
- Teaching methods
- Ability to convey knowledge in English
- Ability to interact and manage the classroom
- How to handle situations and answer students’ questions
Only candidates who demonstrate excellent pedagogical skills, while maintaining enthusiasm and initiative in the classroom will continue.
2.2. Observing and observing real classrooms
Even teachers with many years of experience are not allowed to teach classes immediately, candidates must participate in:
- Observing classes in progress
- Observing veteran teachers teaching
- Discussing with the academic department about the center’s teaching methods
This process helps ensure that all new teachers are familiar with the center’s lesson structure, teaching style and standards before officially teaching.
