Beijing - China

Location

What can you say about Beijing, that hasn’t already been said?

Every street, every alley, every bridge, market stall, palace, and skyscraper is a National Geographic spread by itself! More ancient than Rome; more cosmopolitan than New York City; more opportunities than any other large city in the world for TEFL certified teachers.

That’s Beijing, where over 14 million people swarm and jostle — many on bicycles — to earn a living in the shadow of The Great Wall of China. Beijing offers some of the most dynamic culture, rich history, and amazing food in the world.

Beijing is the capital of the People’s Republic of China. The city is the center of politics, culture, and international exchanges, as well as one of the largest metropolises of industry, finance and trade.

Living in Beijing offers an amazing lifestyle for a foreigner teaching English. It’s cheap and has everything you want. The nightlife in Beijing is one of the best in Asia.

Shelby Bennett

The best thing about the course was?

the teaching practices with real students were by far the best learning experience. it was a win-win situation for everyone involved, and we work as hard as we could to have good lesson plans for those students.

What most needs improvement in this course?

Maybe a different way to learn some of the grammar aspects that we only really scanned in a handout once, and which were hard to figure out when studying alone.

How was your experience on this course?

I absolutely loved it. This month has been a highligh of my life thus far, and I cannot wait to see where my TEFL certificate can take me from here.
