You’ll get a warm welcome on touching down in China, with our in-country team offering an exciting 4-day orientation. This first week is an ideal chance to get to know your fellow interns, learn about Chinese culture, explore Beijing and even pick up some basic Mandarin phrases. Ni hao!

After orientation, you’ll spend five months teaching in one of our many partner schools across China, taking part in day-to-day life and teaching enthusiastic students English. You’ll get a great living allowance that will allow you to live really comfortably.

Why your help is needed

China is a vast and varied land packed with history and culture, and warm, welcoming locals. You’ll be placed at a school in one of a selection of places across China, ranging from busy cities to quieter rural areas, and you’ll be tasked with teaching English to students of a range of ages.

English is widely taught to children across China from an early age, but it is taught in a relatively restrictive ‘rote learning’ style based on repetition. This is a chance for you as an intern teacher to bring a bit of fun and enthusiasm to the classroom, and give your students some English learning they’ll always benefit from.
