Description: Do you enjoy travel? Do you enjoy being around children? Do you think you have what it takes to be a creative and inspirational teacher? If so, then teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) may be the perfect opportunity for you.

Reach to Teach staff are all former ESL teachers from countries around the world. We understand the business and care about our teachers and their students. The schools we represent are among the best in the business. When you arrive at your school, our support does not end. We are there to help you through your exciting year of cultural challenges and adventures. We currently have many exciting opportunities. All you need is a 4-year degree, but you must have a great imagination and sense of adventure! If you would rather be experiencing the varied cultures of the world instead of the inside of a cubicle, this is for you!

Job Description:
You will serve as an English Teacher for children of all ages. You may teach Kindergarten to children aged 4-6 years old, and you may teach children as old as 15 years old. The age of the children you teach can be modified according to your preferences. Your teaching duties will include:

- You will teach approximately 20-30 hours a week, depending on your school.
- You will serve as an English teacher, helping your students learn conversational English and improve their accent.

Highlights: Teaching English abroad can be a tremendous experience. Your students, the culture, exotic food, your Chinese peers, the language, and traveling options all combine to make for an incredible opportunity. You will meet interesting and unique people from all over the world. Your best friend may be from South Africa or Australia. They will be people like you: interesting, unique and adventurous. There will be challenges. Sometimes adjusting to the cultural habits of your country can be frustrating. It's all part of the experience. It is a rare person who ever regrets their year spent abroad. Most look back on it as the best experience of their life.

It's important to stress: All positions are well paid. You will be able to live quite comfortably with your salary. The students are generally better behaved than those in western countries. Many are eager to learn. You don't need to have teaching experience, but you must be creative, caring and adventurous!
