Efficient application process and a great opportunity

My application went smoothly and quickly, even though I left it until relatively late in the year. The programme that Gotoco found for me was good, and generally it was all a fabulous opportunity. Having accommodation, travel, and most food covered for me by the company really made the whole experience more accessible. I was also glad to get to see Yangshuo through the free post-programme holiday organised by Gotoco. If you’re looking to teach and go on an adventure in China, make sure to check it out!

A great summer in China

Thanks to Gotoco, I found out about the opportunity to work in a summer camp in China, and I had a really good experience. One of the things I enjoyed the most during the trip was the job itself: the campers were enthusiastic, and working with kids gave back to me something that I had lost a while ago: the hope that tomorrow can be a good, and a better day. Making friends with the local and international counsellors was also an amazing experience, and it made me understand that sometimes you don't even need to speak the same language in order to get on well with someone and build wonderful friendships. Gotoco staff was always kind, friendly and helpful, and my queries were always dealt with quickly and effectively.

Teachinglike

It was a really nice experience in overall. I loved to work for Gotoco, and they really tried to make the whole summer as good as possible. They helped us to book train tickets, hostels, and overall they did help as much as they could. The only thing that annoyed us througout the summer was that it took them way too much time to reply for emails, but as I meantioned above, in overall they were really nice and helpful.

What would you improve about this program?
Probably frequent replies to emails wuold be great.

Amazing experience!

A summer in china. A chance to submerge yourself in a new culture , to see wonderful sights me meet amazing people. And you get a TEFL certificate at the end of it. What's not to like?

Camp greenwoods via gotoco was truly special. You get to be a counsellor to children of all ages, you get to teach and participate in many of the activities. with the children , it can be tough at times and extremely tiring but you do end up missing them when they leave. And the other counsellors become your family during those 2 months. They go through the same hardships , the same excitement. You get to experience China in its entirety with these people. At the end, it's actually quite hard to leave because of how amazing it has been and how the people have made you view life in a whole new light. There aren't many people that you meet and can call friends for life.

If you are thinking of becoming a teacher and would like to travel , I 100 percent recommend Gotoco. You get the best of both worlds !

Great Experience

Had an amazing summer in China learning about the culture and getting to see the country, the highlight seeing the Great Wall. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun experience getting a TEFL qualification. I got to meet so many amazing people and made great memories, and through working here you get an in depth understanding of a culture which is vastly different from the western society I’m used to.

Rewarding Experience

It was a wonderful opportunity for me to experience a completely different lifestyle in a scenic and suburb environment. I not only met lots of other foreign teachers with amazing personalities, but also got to interact with the kids and earned valuable experience in teaching. On this trip, I met many amazing people from different cultural backgrounds and age groups and it was a very mind-opening experience to be a part of this wonderful team. I had a chance to experience a different culture, gain a rewarding teaching experience, and improve my teaching/communication skills. I would definitely recommend Gotoco.

Excellent experience

I had a really great time in China with Gotoco - the level of immersion was beyond my expectation and I felt like I learned a lot beyond the skillset that TEFL required of me. My time in Guangzhou was beyond my expectations and everything was handled well through Gotoco. Teaching was challenging but rewarding and the social aspect was great too, especially in how we were able to make friends with non-Gotoco Chinese TAs at the school. Would recommend.

Teacher for Gotoco

I would recommend Gotoco to my friends and have already recommended them to several friends. The experience is greatly enriching and is a great opportunity to see China and obtain a TEFL. Being able to try new food, understand a new culture and meet so many new people from China. My highlight was meeting so many great teachers who I am sure I will be in contact with for a great time.The lessons were not just me teaching Chinese students about English and western culture, it was also me being taught a great deal about Chinese culture. Most of the Mandarin I learnt was from students in class and I absolutely loved my excursions, especially to Xi'an and Suzhou.
