Fuzhou

I heard of Opportunity China through a friend who had already enrolled. The application process was very quick and efficient. After completing the online application, they got back to me very quickly to offer me a phone interview. They were very accommodating and flexible as I was still at university. Once I received the job offer, they gave me time to process it all. When I accepted, they provided me with all the information I needed and a few schools they recommended for me (based off of the interview). Opportunity China helped me prep for all my skype interviews with the school. They really went over and beyond, which was very comforting. They also provide online webinars which were so helpful, and enables you to meet fellow new teachers. When I decided which job I wanted to take, they put me in contact with the HR of the school straight away. I couldn’t recommend Opportunity China enough. Big thanks to Steph. I am currently in China and still in contact with them.

Teach in China made easy

I first heard about Opportunity China through a talk they did at my University, I applied online around December 2017 and had an interview for the programme the same month. After I was accepted they were in constant communication about the next steps in the process and were very helpful and clear throughout.

After getting accepted into the programme I had to conduct Skype interviews with individual schools in China. Stephanie and Will at Opportunity China helped to prepare me for the interviews and gave me lots of tips on what the companies would be looking for. They also took the city I wanted to move to into consideration and gave me multiple options in that city. They were very helpful in accommodating both myself and my girlfriend and making sure we went to a company that was able to provide us both a job and give us the same days off as well as other compromises.

After I was offered a job with a company in Shenzhen, Opportunity China helped throughout the visa process and held mutliple training sessions to help everyone prepare for their move to China. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing help in finding a job!

Opportunity China were incredible in helping myself and my brother secure our dream jobs in China. As new graduates, we thought it would be very difficult for us to find any work overseas, but we were wrong. The team at Opportunity China sent us information about suitable jobs, and made it easy for us to communicate with potential employers. Even over a year later, after renewing my contract in China, the team are still in regular contact to see how we are getting on.

I could not recommend Opportunity China enough, and I would not be on this amazing adventure without them!

Thanks guys!

Efficient and knowledgeable recruiter

I'd highly recommend Opportunity China as a professional recruitment agency, after mixed experiences with other agencies. As an experienced ESL teacher I was specifically looking for an international school role in Beijing, and they quickly found me a job which was a good fit.

The diploma and police check notarization/ authentication process was new since my prior stint teaching in China, and their Coordinator gave thorough guidance on the steps I needed to take. Very helpful staff!

Opportunity China's Teach China Graduate Programme

During my final year at university, I was really struggling to find something both fun and challenging to start once I graduated, until I came across the TCGP with Opportunity China. From my first interaction with Stephanie, I immediately felt welcomed and she really knew where I could fit within the Programme according to my qualifications and experience. She was great at finding me a kindergarten that suited what I was looking for, and any questions or concerns I had throughout the application and interview process were answered quickly and thoroughly. I felt very well supported in the lead up to moving to China, OC even organised a training day allowing us to meet other candidates and receive essential pre-departure advice.
When I received my work permit for China and I began the visa application process, Steph was once again on hand to give advice and answer questions and there was great correspondence between OC and the kindergarten. I am now in my first few weeks at Nanhai International Kindergarten in Foshan, China and I am enjoying every minute. OC couldn't have been more helpful both pre and post-departure, the kindergarten is exactly where I wanted to be and I can't wait to see what the next year working in China will hold for me. I would absolutely recommend Opportunity China's TCGP to anyone!

Professional attitue, helpful and friendly staff

Opportunity China has given me the opportunity to do something great. I could not of imagined doing what I am doing now.

I found out about this company when Tom came to my university to give a talk. They helped me from the start by listening to what I wanted and discussed the options that best suited me. I was given the chance to talk with the school via Skype which helped. I wanted a place that was scenic but with a good city life. When they told me about Hangzhou I never looked back, it has been a perfect place so far.

Upon arrival the school took over with helping me out with any problems. I was given a mentor who was so helpful and always there to talk to. All the staff at the school have been so nice and supportive.
I cant thank Tom and Stephanie enough for there support and help finding such a perfect job for me.

Professional and very helpful

Opportunity China have been great from the get go. I found out about them when Tom visited my University during my second year. I knew it was something I definitely wanted to do so went a year after graduating after talking to Tom and taking the initial leap in terms of having interviews with different schools in China. Tom replied immediately to any problems or questions I had during the application process and I was set up with a great school in Nanhai, Foshan.

I have been here for nearly 3 months now and I've had the best experience in China so far. I can't thank Tom and Stephanie enough. After departing the U.K to come to China the school took over to helping me get settled in to life here, however I know if I have any problems I feel comfortable enough to be able to message Tom if needs be!

Really professional and knowledgeable about all things China related!

An excellent recruiter

Tom and Stephanie have been excellent in setting me up to work in China. Stephanie took my anxieties into consideration when I explained how my nerves are bad without teacher support. She then emailed me a list of schools highlighting the ones with excellent teacher training and support. One of those schools I applied for, York English, accepted me and I'm now in Fuzhou and teaching in an excellent school who can't do enough to make sure their teachers are adjusted and settled. I haven't communicated much with Opportunity China since I arrived in Fuzhou but I know if there was anything I needed support or help with that I could contact them and they'd try to help but so far, York have made my transition from Leeds, England to Fuzhou, China an amazing and stress free experience.
