Teach China
Would you like the opportunity to not only travel to a new country,
but experience the real life and the spirit of your chosen
destination? AIDE’s Teach programs are the perfect way to live like a
true member of the community and to fully integrate into a new
culture.
The Association for International Development and Exchange (AIDE)
provides international teach, work and volunteer placements. AIDE was
launched in August 2007 as the new not for profit sister organization
of Alliance Abroad Group (AAG), in order to expand upon the programs
historically offered by the AAG Outbound Department. As a not for
profit AIDE aims to reach a larger audience, and has more than 15
years of experience in offering programs abroad due to its affiliation
with the AAG Outbound Department. Our Goal is to create programs and
services for people that will create positive change in their
communities in the U.S. and abroad and will enhance their chances to
achieve international understanding.
Teach in China places you in a paid English teaching position in a
Chinese school for either 1 or 2 semesters or a short summer session.
The majority of our positions are with Chinese Universities or Trade
Schools, some positions will allow you to work with younger aged
children.
China, officially the People’s Republic of China, is one of the
world’s largest countries by area and the world’s most populated
country with 1.3 billion people. The country’s varied terrain includes
vast deserts, towering mountains, high plateaus, and broad plains.
Beijing, located in the north, is China’s capital and its cultural,
economic, and communications center. Shanghai, located near the
Yangtze, is the most populous urban center, the largest industrial and
commercial city, and mainland China’s leading port.
