Highlights

Teaching English abroad can be a tremendous experience. Your students, the culture, exotic food, your Chinese peers, the language, and traveling options all combine to make for an incredible opportunity. You will meet interesting and unique people from all over the world. Your best friend may be from South Africa or Australia. They will be people like you: interesting, unique and adventurous. There will be challenges. Sometimes adjusting to the cultural habits of your country can be frustrating. It's all part of the experience. It is a rare person who ever regrets their year spent abroad. Most look back on it as the best experience of their life.

It's important to stress: ALL positions come with great benefits that will allow you to live comfortably. The students are generally better behaved than those in western countries. Many are eager to learn. You don't need to have teaching experience, but you MUST be creative, caring and adventurous!
