ImmerQi | Teach & Travel China Program

I am glad I decided to join the TTC program here in China. The support has been fantastic, I know TTC will assist me if my school is unable to sort out issues and they have done very quickly. I loved my 1st internship in Chengdu working at a kindergarten so much that I decided to sign up for a 2nd semester with TTC in a different place and TTC again placed me in a great school and location.
Highlights have been travelling during my time off around China (TTC even give you travel hints and tips during your semester as well as teaching assistance if required!) You make so many new friends whether it is interns in your area, or the local Chinese and teachers from your school. I will never forget what TTC has done for me in my life and the experience they gave me. A truly unforgettable and amazing experience. Thank you

Coming to China was the single greatest decision I ever made, second was choosing ImmerQi and the Teach and Travel program.

From the moment I applied, to the TEFL training to my placement (just on the outskirts of Beijing) I had an absolute blast. All the logistics had been carefully planned by the on-shore support and once at my school they were only a phone call away even surprising me one afternoon to take me for dinner.

The school itself were fantastic and I was given a contact to liaise with for my day to day questions, poor thing I had loads!

Life itself was just great, sure there were stresses, language being the most frustrating but it all culminated in a truly magical period that quite literally changed me, my life and my future.

I never left :-)

The whole programme has been fantastic. The school are great, the facilities are the same, if not better than what one would expect in the UK. I have absolutely no problems with anything provided to me, by either the school, or the company.

This program offers you the chance to gently settle into Chinese life whilst giving you the opportunity to build a large circle of friends and contacts. I have too many highlights to mention but I'll offer you 3. 1) Myself and two college from the program made a Halloween video for our school. We decided to make a Gangnam Style video around Chengdu. It became a local sensation and we have had the pleasure of being on the front of newspapers and on TV several times. 2) Chinese people. I don't think I would have had the courage to come to China on my own, but now that I actually have I wonder if I'll ever leave. You'll quickly make friends and never get tired of Chinese hospitality 2) Due to the friends I have made on the program, I have been able set up a football team. Luckily we are half decent and and have even won a few trophies.

Through ImmerQi, I found a full-time teaching job with Little London English school in the capital of Inner Mongolia, Hohhot. It's a great job, working 3 to 4 days a week and the rest of the time is all my own. I've been here now for almost two years and I've had a great opportunity to learn Mandarin and practice it everyday. Doing this was the best choice I've ever made in my life.

I liked this program I stayed for a second semester! I lived in Inner Mongolia which friendly and helpful and my school was so nice and the teachers so fun. They took us to the desert, the grasslands and to KTV. We had materials and help from out school at every step and ImmerQi to call 24hours a day.
Now I am in Chengdu and the city is huge and so clean. ImmerQi took the train down with us since it was so far from Beijing to help us get settled. This school doesn't have as many resources but they are so friendly and helpful. I have called on ImmerQi for ideas on lessons and question about teaching in a new environment and they are always helpful. Both cities have had night life with places with live music and places for day time sight seeing. I have felt safe in both places I have lived and worked and know I am never alone with ImmerQi a phone call away.

At this time, I have been associated with the ImmerQi - Teach and Travel China Program for three semesters teaching college students in Zhongshan, located in southern China. This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life! I plan on staying and teaching at the college for as long as I can!

At the school, the teaching faculty, staff, and students are very good to me! Whatever I need and whatever I ask for, they do everything they can to make sure I have it. Since I have been here, I have been accepted and become an important part of the school along with the local Zhongshan community.

The Teach and Travel China Program staff have done everything necessary to ensure my time at the school is successful and enjoyable. Before I came to China, the staff provided the necessary assistance to ensure all requirements were completed. Since I have been in China, the staff has always provided me with the assistance and guidance needed to make my time in China and at the school go as smooth as possible. Over the past year, I have come to know the Teach and Travel China staff very well. I am most grateful for all their support and help!

I highly recommend the ImmerQi - Teach and Travel China Program to anyone interested in teaching and travelling in China. Especially the 4-week program in Beijing. It is a wonderful experience that will change your life and one you will always remember!
