• BigByte Education provides a comprehensive online training program for all newcomers.
  In Taiwan, we are also able to offer a very diverse and multicultural environment where you can get exposed to multicultural food, entertainment, culture, and people.
• BigByte ensures that you will have access to mentoring, regular educator workshops, and bi-annual training observations to ensure educators always feel supported in the classroom and motivated to improve.
• At BigByte Education, we understand the foundation of our success comes from all the great talent within. We value all of our employees, and provide a broad range of benefits.

• At BigByte our class sizes are small, with an average of 9-10 and no more than 15 students in the classroom. Our classrooms are fully equipped with technology support.

• In addition to those small class sizes, students will be in your English class for as many as 10 hours in a single week. This high level of interaction not only has a significant effect on their English ability, but it also means that you as an educator get to build deep and lasting relationships with each student. You will be closely involved with nurturing their growth, and you’ll be able to watch them make great strides in their English in a relatively short period of time. At BigByte, each class hour together is important. Each relationship is important. Each student is important.
