Teach and Learn Abroad in China

With the fastest growing economy in the world and an education system that encourages economic and cultural development, there is no shortage of opportunities to come to China to teach English. You don’t have to be studying to be a teacher or a qualified teacher to take advantage of this opportunity! High school students can come over and teach in their gap year between school and college, teachers looking for international experience can come, and new grads can use this as an opportunity to gain experience while traveling and enjoying a rich and diverse culture. Yes, you can get paid to teach English in China, while enjoying the traveling and learning opportunities we have to offer.

Although you may like the options you see above; you may still be unsure if China is the destination for you. Here are a few reasons you should come to China to teach:

The demand for English teachers is growing exponentially, and with no shortage of opportunities, you are guaranteed placement.
China has a rich culture and diversity. Few other countries can offer the history, culture, and experiences that you’ll have in China. Better yet, you’ll get to experience it all like a local.
Chinese students love learning. English classes may offer students a chance to relax a little, and you’ll get to have fun with them while teaching them the second most spoken language in the world.
Acquire a new language that can open up opportunities, easily. Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the world and is easier to learn when you are immersed in it. Your Teaching package will come with the opportunity to take lessons, to practice throughout your stay and to go home with impressive new language skills.
There’s always someone looking after you. Whether it’s the Go Abroad China team or your teaching mentor, you’ll always have support while you are with us.

Tuan - Australia Internship Program in Beijing

Living and working in Beijing really opened my eyes. The people are extremely nice and helpful. During work, even though there is a huge language barrier, my colleagues do try to communicate with me and the manager was able to organise me to learn from different departments. I was able to make new friends and visit many places in Beijing. Everyone from GAC are very helpful and supportive. Overall I am satisfied with the program. Read More

Chris - United Kingdom Internship Program in Beijing
My time in China has been extremely rewarding. When I arrived, the culture shock was immense but I quickly settled into Chinese life, thanks to Gina and the GAC team. My internship was exactly what I was looking for, and it gave me the opportunity to work in a fantastically social co-working space in the heart of Sanlitun SOHO, a cosmopolitan and refined area.

David - Australia Internship Program in Shanghai
Overall I enjoyed my experience with GAC. I was pleased with the amount of knowledge I learned and the new experiences I went through during my internship as a financial analyst at a finance company which GAC found on my behalf. The internship made me realize how fast things move in the finance industry and I feel it has prepared me well for the transition from university to the work force. Read More
