Teach in china in less than two months

The school i teach at in china are looking for another teacher ASAP... It's a great school situated in fenghua, in the province of Zhejiang, located in a valley just south of the city of Ningbo. The views here are breath taking. The school is located in the towns library complex and has four classrooms and a auditorium for demo classes and presentation classes. The owner is an excellent boss and i feel very lucky...

A day in the life of.....

Monday 14th May I woke up this morning feeling very tired. I had my first Korean language class last night, which went very well, and then I went for a late tea of super tasty Haejangguk 해장국, or as we call it 'Spinebone Soup', with a guy called Paul. He has just moved out to Hogye from the UK, so we had a big chat about how I thought things were out here, any tips etc, so it...

The not-so-amazing things about Beijing

Beijing is an amazing city - it can't be denied! However, like anywhere, it has it's downsides. Here are a few things to be aware of before you come out here: 1. To breathe, or not to breathe? As I'm sure you already know, Beijing is one of the most polluted cities in the world. Some days it's hard to make out the tops of the abundant office blocks through the clouds of smog....

A few things I don't love about Korea ㅠㅠ

Well after writing my last post I think it's only fair to mention some of the things I don't like about Korea. No place is perfect after all lol. So here's my little rant hahaha (sorry) TV - The tv out here drives me crazy, I've actually taken up reading a lot more since coming here! So first, the adverts. A programme will start, they'll have the opening credits and then the adverts will...

Add a balloon into a class of girls and what do you get?

I was trying to get my students to talk about their likes and dislikes so we played a game of volleyball(oon). They had to say a sentence and then hit the balloon to the other team. Every correct sentence got them 3 points. They started cheating and only passed the balloon to people in their own team. It got very competitive but at least it got them talking lol

Get Out There And Dream Big!

My thoughts about changing your life by getting out there and following your dreams while on a 45 km bike ride in Cambodia. For me, I dreamed of traveling the world and living abroad and I accomplished this by diving headfirst into teaching English abroad! If you have similar dreams of traveling and exploring the world, then I highly recommend teaching and you should check out TEFL certificates now! But whatever your dreams and goals in life may be, throw your sails to the wind and chase after them passionately!
