Before you go
You’ll have an application form to fill out and documents to submit, a video chat and then you’ll be on your way.Your Teaching Experience
From the moment you board the plane, relax knowing you’re arrival meet and greet will be waiting and enjoy a comprehensive orientation.
Let your nerves settle before jumping into the classroom—you’ll have ample time to hang out, participate in cultural activities, do a little sightseeing (it’s bund-erful!), and practice your freshly certified TEFL skills.
Placed at a language center, a typical work week includes two varying days off. Though not consistent and not always consecutive, TEFL interns in China love the variety in their schedule and workload.
You and a class aid will host ~25 hours of teaching, focusing on improving students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
Your kiddos will range in ages from four to 12, but the small class size (~12 students) means you’ll get to know them on a personal level.
Spend leftover time grading, planning, and meeting with parents. You’ll love it!
