Description

Your primary goal will be to assist the teacher in the classroom. You and the teacher will create and implement daily lesson plans for each class. You will mainly be working in small groups teaching vocabulary, conversational and practical English language use. You will also have the chance to help with science, art, music and sport classes. Volunteers are needed here to offer fresh and creative activities, games and projects.

Highlights

You will be volunteering in Yantai, which is located in the northeast part of China in the Shandong Province. Yantai is bordered by both the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and is considered the largest fishing seaport in Shandong. The city is located right across from South Korea and Japan. uVolunteer believes that you should have a well balanced work and play schedule. This means you will only be required to work 5 days per week (Monday to Friday) for a maximum of 6 hours per day. For the remainder of your time, you will be free to enjoy the vacationing aspects of your trip. uVolunteer anticipates and encourages your desire for travel and adventure. Your time away from volunteering is open for you to decide your activities. You may decide to take advantage of the local culture and spend time within the community over the weekend. Otherwise, there is ample opportunity to explore China and all it has to offer.

Great weekend trips include:
* Learn and Practice Chinese
* Learn Taiji or Wushu (Chinese Martial Arts)
* Participate in local activities such as: Chinese painting, Music, and Medicine
* Enjoy local hiking and excursions into the Kunyu Daoist Mountains
* Visit local scenery and monuments such as: Penglai Pavilion, Nanshan Grand Buddha, and Mou's Manor
