Programmes
We offer paid teaching positions as well as short-term summer programmes.
If you are applying for a summer programme, we have two programmes in place this summer:
•Month long internships in the city of Wuhan. See "Summer Internships"
•Mandarin Language course in Beijing. See "Mandarin course"
If you are applying for a paid teaching position, you will find that most teachers plan on arriving in China in late September or late January to take up their posts. We prefer to offer paid positions to teachers that are staying in China for either six months or a year. You do not need to have a teaching qualification or ESL experience, but at the very least you should be enrolled in university or have a completed degree.
