Program Overview

Don’t get trapped! Did you know that 80% of teaching jobs in China require evening and weekend work? Not us!

For Teach & Play, football (soccer), a fantastic social life, and incredible memories come first. All our jobs are football-friendly, meaning you’ll never work on weekends or in the evenings. If you don’t play football, you are still welcome to apply – maybe we can convince you to have a go!

Every player (teacher) applying with us is assigned a Personal Concierge via WhatsApp. Your Concierge provides 24/7, 1-on-1 support for Travel, Visa, and Documentation issues. They will also be your point of reference for any football-related queries.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Passport from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand
• A bachelor's degree (all majors welcome!)
• A TEFL Certification (our players get a huge discount!)
• The ability to obtain a clear background check
