Unforgettable experience immersing in local culture

April 04, 2023by: Jennifer ZhengProgram: Volunteer and Teach English in China

Overall, the program experience was great, and I really enjoy my time on the program. The local team is very friendly and when I need assistant, they are always there. During my stay, I was placed at two different schools, high school for week one and kindergarten for week two. Both were valuable experiences and I have learn a lot from them. I feel like both myself and the two schools I stayed at have benefit from this volunteer program. It was definitely an unforgettable experience, and the best way to immerse into the local culture which is a very different feeling from a tourist setting. As my ticket home is booked for a couple days later, I have a few extra days to stay in Xian and explore the city a bit more and visit places nearby. Although my work on the program have ended, the local team have been very helpful and have provided me many suggestion and information on where I could visit and stay for these few days. Lastly, with this being a positive and unforgettable experience, I will definitely be back in the future or try programs in different locations around the world. Thank you so much for all the support along the way!

One of the best things I've done

This experience was amazing and definitely one of the best things I have ever done. I got to teach English to kids from preschool to middle school. Everyone was just so loving and excited to meet me. I had a great time spending time with everyone and learning about the Chinese culture and lifestyles. I will definitely do this again in the future!

    Volunteer English teaching in China focuses on developing conversational English skills with Chinese students. IVHQ presently works with Chinese public schools; most of which are located in areas just outside of Xi'an and serve the farmers' children and poorer people living outside the cities. In China, there is a growing demand for an English education. With the unprecedented economic growth China has experienced in recent years, the importance of English education has also grown. Many schools in China have established an “English corner”, a specially designed spot for teaching/learning English, and these schools are very eager to have native English teachers. Unfortunately, only private schools with huge budgets in city areas attract native English teachers. Most of the resource-...
