JOIN OUR GLOBAL TEACHING INTERNSHIP CHINA TODAY!
Our interns will teach across China. During the application process interns will indicate their preference of location based on 3 options (north, central, or south), ou will endeavour to place them in their preferred area but this is not guaranteed.
Interns will be notify of their region placement (north, central, or south) one week prior to the standard program arrival date in China.
It will be flagged to interns that their region in some cases may change during orientation week due to factors beyond our control (e.g. a school not delivering on their contract prior to the student arriving to their placement).
Such instances will be kept to a minimum and our team will discuss any change with the intern. During the application process, interns will indicate their preference with regards to teaching age group based on 3 options (Kindergarten (3-6yrs), Primary School (6-12yrs), Middle or above (12yrs +), again, our team will endeavour to place them at their preferred level but this is not guaranteed. Schools are usually large with between 2,000 and 5,000 students and are a mixture of private and government schools.
Interns are required to work 35 hours a week at the school, including face-to-face teaching, preparing lessons, meetings, activities, etc. In the majority of cases, 15 face-to-face hours should be delivered to the students every week.
However, the minimum hours are 10 hours per week. The Teacher Intern is required to intern as a teacher according to the timetable of the School 5 days per week.
The Teacher Intern shall accept teaching duties on evenings and weekends. The Teacher Intern will be provided with 2 days off per week (may not be consecutive days).
