The Teach English In China (TEIC) Programme

Fancy an exciting, challenging, salaried year abroad? Want to experience the culture and customs of China first-hand?

Run in conjunction with the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE) and the International Exchange Centre in Hunan Province, Teach English in China is an international work-travel programme with a difference. No extra training is required, all we ask is that you are a graduate, a native English speaker and complete our language training programme. If you are not a native English speaker but speak English fluently you may also be eligible. English language learning has been given more emphasis in this fast changing country; be part of this important change.

Apart from the two principal placement offices based in Beijing and Hunan we also have a few other placements, kindergarten and junior schools. These operate independently. These schools pay around 8,000 a month, with usual benefits. However, as the salary is higher so are the working hours. Holidays are also reduced. More money means less personal time for you. We also have placements in Shanghai, through CEAIE, and these pay 12,000 a month, plus benefits, but accommodation is not provided although assistance is offered in finding you accommodation.

Whether you're a new or recent graduate unsure of where to go next, in a career rut, looking for a fresh challenge, or retired and looking for your next adventure, TEIC could be the exciting opportunity you've been waiting for, especially if you learn Mandarin in China and thereby enhance your employment prospects.

TEIC are recruiting new teachers for this year. We place most teachers in August for one year (10 month) contracts and we also have limited placements in February. If you want to be considered, please send your application to us as detailed on the ’How to Apply’ page as soon as possible.
