Teach English in China
What is it about?
Through i-to-i, native English speakers can undertake paid teaching work in a number of schools in China, helping their students to master this international language. Last year, more than 200 people took up i-to-i paid placements overseas.
As soon as you arrive in China our co-ordination team will meet you at the airport and give you its own unique introduction to this fascinating country.
What will I be doing?
Teaching placements are available near Shanghi, in Suzhou or further south in Guangzhou. After your placement, China - and indeed the rest of Asia - lies at your doorstep, ready to be explored.
Learning how to teach English Overseas.
What does it cost?
$1395 for a 12 month placement
What does it include?
Included in this i-to-i teaching venture is a comprehensive package to help you throughout your stay. This comprises:
Monthly wage of $650 per month, a return ticket paid on completion of all 12-month contracts, fully-furnished - rent-free accommodation (usually shared), comprehensive i-to-i TEFL training, TEFL grammar and lesson plan books, airport pick-up, orientation and transfer to school.
You’ll only need to cover food (about $25 a week), your in-country transport (except airport pick-up) and flight and visa costs (flight costs will be reimbursed on successful completion of any 12-month contracts).
Note: It is your school, not i-to-i, that is responsible for providing the above. Travel insurance is not included.
