Employee Testimonials
John Sparrow, BA, BEd, MA
Shanghai Nanyang Model Private High School
“I have worked for CINEC for over 5 years, beginning in 2019. Throughout the bleak pandemic years, CINEC stood by its staff and supported us through those difficult times. CINEC invested in a Learning Management System in 2019, namely Schoology, that was paramount in helping us navigate those difficult years. Today, we continue to utilize this LMS and it increases productivity tremendously, complementing our teaching and learning.
CINEC also organizes annual professional development opportunities that bring together everyone in the organization to share and collaborate. Working with CINEC, teaching in Shanghai, is a privilege for me. Many of the present and former staff have become lifelong friends of mine. Though demanding, the work culture at CINEC is fun and exciting. In addition, its reward package is generous, and the company provides plenty of opportunities for advancement. Professionally and personally, working at CINEC was an excellent choice for me. I love teaching in China and working with CINEC has been the main reason why.”
Vincent John Millward, BA, BEd, MA
Jiaxing Senior High School
“I have absolutely no regrets about my decision to teach for CINEC Education at the British Columbia Offshore School in the city of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, China. Teaching in Jiaxing has been the most rewarding and satisfying experience that I have ever had in my 30 years in education. In the two years that I have been teaching with CINEC I have grown tremendously and have learned so much in my pedagogy.
The people at CINEC are very helpful and go out of their way to support their teachers. The principal at BCOS Jiaxing is also very supportive, open to suggestions and has given me the opportunity to teach according to my strengths and interests. My colleagues in our program are equally caring and supportive. Being a part of the team at BCOS Jiaxing is a privilege that I appreciate and cherish very much.”
Alex Lapp, BA, MS – Education
Jiaxing Senior High School
“I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the opportunities CINEC has provided me to grow both personally and professionally. The support, resources, and encouragement have been instrumental in my development and success. The positive and nurturing environment at CINEC allowed me to continuously learn and innovate, thereby enhancing my ability to educate and inspire our students.
I am grateful for the trust this organization placed in me and the commitment it showed towards professional growth. Thank you for creating a culture that values and invests in its teachers. I am looking forward to continuing our journey of growth and excellence together.”
Nicole Carvalho
Vice-Principal at Shanghai Nanyang Model Private High School
“In 2013, when I decided to take a leave from my full-time teaching job in Victoria B.C., (I had been teaching in BC for 7 years at this point), I had no idea that 10 months abroad would turn into 4 years. I had no idea that what I thought may be a GAP year of sorts would turn into another valuable stage of my career in Education. I had no idea that I would be working for such a supportive company, with such innovative teachers, with such inspiring students.
Since the beginning, my experience working in CINEC’s BC Offshore program has been nothing but positive. My transition to a new company in a new city (in a new country!) was smooth due to CINEC’s support. After only 1 year, my personal and professional growth under the knowledgeable administration and passionate BC teachers around me skyrocketed. Working with ESL students has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. CINEC Education Group is a professional, equitable and honourable company, which puts EDUCATION FIRST. It’s been a pleasure to be a part of its BC Offshore legacy.”
