CHINA TEACHING EXPERIENCE - Your Safe & Supported Route to Teaching in China

I had a fantastic experience with Andrew from TravelGrad. I applied while at university and travelgrad organized the application of my visa and found a job for me. I signed a contract directly with the school and didn't have to pay any further fees or commission.

The support was excellent and Andrew went above and beyond to support myself and the other applicants. The job that I got through his company was well paid and a great place to work. TravelGrad have remained in contact with me and are always willing to help with any problems I have. I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Andrew.

No much to say, because it'd be too much to say! It was simply one of the best experiences of my life! The only negative part of it, was not being able to go back! 😢 ❤️
Being a teacher in China taught me so much on so many levels! It opened my eyes and made me fall in love with this incredible Country, which is very often misunderstood and underrated.

I surely loved every minute of it. Overall It was fun, educating and enriching!
It's a lifechanging experience that I'd definetely recommend to anyone!

Going to China has definitely been one of the best decisions I've ever made! I've made amazing friends and travelled to lots of beautiful places inside and outside of the country. Destinations in Asia are easily accessible and cheap, and you can save a lot with accommodation and food usually paid for in schools. People are friendly and helpful, and it's really easy to get around. Travelgrad made the application process super easy and offered support even while I was in China. I'd definitely recommend!

I came to China with TravelGrad, and the experience has been great. From signing on, Andrew and the company assisted me with all of my visa supporting documentation, and so I didn’t have to worry about organising it all myself. Following my orientation in Beijing, Travelgrad placed me at a school in Foshan, Guangdong. My experience here has been excellent. While I have been working hard, I’ve also been able to travel a lot of China and also neighbouring Southeast Asia. I’d recommend this to anyone seeking a bit of adventure in their lives and wanting to break away from life in the U.K.. It is not only a gap year option, but can also be the start of a career as further opportunities will pop up down the line. If you’re curious, drop them a message because Andrew and the team are more than happy to have a chat and answer any questions. You won’t regret it!

I used Travel Grad back in 2021 during a tough covid time, especially getting into China. Although Travel Grad and Andrew made the experience as easy as it could be. The company were there to help every step of the way and are still there to provide support for us now. I would highly recommend using travel grad wither its to come to China, Korea, Thailand, Australia or any new ventures they have available. Excellent set up that made our experience traveling and living in China an unforgettable experience!!

It's daunting prospect, I remember. Now even more so with the drastic global changes that happened over the last few years. The distance and paperwork seem endless, especially for those who have never left the familiarity of the E.U.

However, you're at no point left in the dark. Andrew is himself something of an old-hand when it comes to China.
When you arrive, you'll meet and greet cohorts spread around the country from the same program, as well as veterans from previous years. It is very easy to travel and adventure around the country in your spare time thanks to China's speedy infrastructure and having this existing social network makes it twice as practical.

If you're doing it for a year, great. If you're doing it for longer, even better.

Put in the effort to get through the application processes, you will not regret it.

TravelGrad made things super easy to travel, everything was really clear.

You travel with a group of people which makes it much easier to socialise out there.

You end up getting pretty good pay for China, and you don’t end up working too much, which makes for a great work life balance.

The lengthy winter break also gives you great opportunities to travel to other areas of Asia, especially now that China’s relaxed their covid policies. South East Asia is relatively close and really cheap, so it’s a great jumping off point for there.

All in all, it’s great. You get what you signed up for. It gives you a great basis to make what you want out of travel.

I went to China with Travelgrad and can honestly say I had a brilliant time. Not only did I meet some people that will be with me for life, the opportunity to travel and see some of the most beautiful sites in the world is truly once in a life time. Travel Grad were supportive in every step of getting there and the fact you go with a group makes the transition so much easier. The work itself gave such a fantastic work life balance and the kids I taught were unforgettable. Travel Grad is the only company I would recommend. 5/5
