Program Reviews

The past 2 months I’ve spent here in Beijing, working at Aihua has been eye-opening and memorable to say the least. Leaving my family and friends behind and traveling across the world to a brand new city of over 20 million people has been one of the biggest and boldest decisions I’ve ever made. Thankfully I’ve had the support of everyone at Aihua (from my supervisors and HR, to my fellow co-teachers) to help ensure a smooth and seamless transition. For me, this teaching experience was a perfect opportunity as a recent university graduate to explore more of the world and gain hands on working experience at the same time.

Whether you have a career in education, want to improve your Chinese or are just interested in stepping out of your comfort zone to experience something totally different- Aihua is the right company to support and encourage you in all that you do. Be sure to check it out!

I have been working at Aihua for two months now, and it’s been an incredible experience.

Even before arriving in China, the staff was friendly and efficient, helping me gather all the required visa documents. Once I arrived, Aihua teachers picked me up from the airport and delivered me to the apartment, which Aihua provides rent-free. The Shijingshan area is spacious and much less crowded than the inner rings, but if you’re looking to get into the city center, Beijing public transportation is cheap and easy to use.

Aihua has a two-week training period which is very thorough (and is getting better!) They don’t just throw you into the classroom and hope you swim, they actually take the time to go through the books and demo different class levels before putting you in front of the kids. They also provide a ton of resources on a USB to get you started. If you’ve never taught before, don’t worry. Aihua has got you covered.

I was also able to become closer to the other new foreign teachers in training. There are so many teachers, it’s impossible to not make friends. Additionally, any problems you have while in Beijing, whether it be health issues or problems with the apartment, Chinese staff at Aihua are always available to help. The support from Chinese staff and fellow foreign teachers is unparalleled.

In terms of actual teaching, Aihua is an excellent place to work. The Chinese teachers who assist me in class are excellent and the children are delightful. My center is beautiful, well organized, and in close proximity to good baozi and jianbing!

I’ve only been here two months, but the experience has only been positive. If you’re looking to teach in China but are overwhelmed with the choices, Aihua is a strong and secure option with a ton of support. Definitely recommended!

I've been working for Aihua for over 2 months now in Beijing and I couldn't be happier. Right away, from when I landed in Beijing I felt welcomed, comfortable and most importantly safe and secure. Everything was really well organised and all went smoothly. From getting a Chinese sim card to setting up a bank account, everything to make your life and adjusting to a new city easier was sorted. The accommodation is wonderful, in a lovely, friendly neighbourhood, with loads of shops, restaurants and parks nearby. You get extensive, but always fun, training so you will feel ready to take on teaching no matter what your experience. The staff are so friendly and always there for advice and support. I couldn't recommend Aihua and Beijing more!

Hi all,

Thinking about teaching in Beijing? Looking for a legitimate school with amazing benefits? Look no further than Aihua. From the moment I accepted my position as a foreign teacher (FT) Aihua's staff has assisted in every aspect. From gathering the correct documents for my Visa, to picking me up at the airport and settling me into my apartment and surrounding community, Aihua has been a game changer. Not once since my time in Beijing have I felt lost or alone, which is amazing when you live in a city of 20 million plus.

Regarding teaching at Aihua, the training is excellent. Aihua staff does everything possible to have you prepared for your first class. Additionally, on going training allows you to improve your teaching skills throughout the entire term. When in the classroom you are allowed great autonomy to most effectively reach the students. Plus, you have great foreign staff (Chinese Teachers) to assist and make the class most fluid.

All in all, Aihua has proven to live up to its great reputation. I strongly recommend you consider learning more about this great language academy.

I have now spent six amazing weeks living in Beijing. The first day was quite overwhelming, as to be expected when moving to a new country with new customs and a language that your not familiar with. On my second day, I got to meet the wonderful Aihua support staff - Summer and Tina. They are angels and completely took care of me and my and my co-workers... Well, they still do. The staff at Aihua are phenomenal - everyone is around to help each other out when needed.
As someone who moved to China with basically zero Mandarin, I have been absolutely blown away by the kindness of the local people here. Not once so far have I had a negative interaction. Everyone here, locals and staff alike, are all here living together and as a non-Chinese speaker, people in Beijing have been much more accommodating than I ever expected.
In my humble opinion, the level of support, training (both introductory and on-going) that Aihua offers in second-to-none. There is support for anything you could imagine, from housing issues to cultural differences - from work related issues to issues going on back home - the Aihua family has your back.
Aihua is a fantastic company to work for (and with). I for one know I made a great decision to come work here.
