Teach in China
China is a vast country with a population of 1.4 billion people, rich in culture, ancient history, natural beauty and modern technology. It’s a major economic power, characterised by huge cities and a work ethic second-to none.
The first thing that comes to mind for most when they think of China is The Great Wall of China, but this remarkable testament to ancient China is only one of a myriad attractions. Beautiful places such as The Forbidden City and rich spiritual traditions also pull Westerners by the droves to the largest and most populated country in Asia.
Teaching English in China is attractive due to the high demand for English teachers thanks to the country’s emphasis on English education, resulting in competitive salaries, great benefits, a chance to experience a rich culture, and ample travel opportunities within China.
