Teach in China Professional

The Teach in China Professional program is intended for those people looking to further their career in education or immerse themselves more in the Chinese work environment. This program is a more demanding work schedule both in terms of volume and intensity than the Teach in China program. Candidates for Teach in China Professional should have at least one year of teaching experience. Teach in China Professional will be more selective than the regular program. If you are not accepted to teach with a more intensive schedule, you will have the option to enroll in the Teach in China program.

As the lead classroom teacher your goal will be to improve the conversational English skills of your students. Through creative classroom exercises and educational games, your native English abilities and cultural savvy will improve the verbal competence of your eager Chinese students.

Taught Stories

While the rest of the post-graduate masses pursue a slippery American dream, I have signed up for a different kind of dream. With each new person met, each different city traveled to, and every exotic food tasted, I am truly seeing the world...
