Great experience!

I really enjoyed my teaching experience in China. I was considering volunteering abroad for awhile but didn't know where to start, which was why I found GOTOCO so useful because they guide you through the application process and attempt to assign you to a school that matches your requirements. The application process was pretty smooth - aside from some visa issues that were more so the result of changes to protocol rather than any issue with GOTOCO, and the teaching went really well. The accommodation provided was very comfortable and high-quality, and the school and its staff were organised and helpful. I was able to meet many amazing people from lots of different cultures as a result of this program and couldn't be happier!
The only main issues I had was that I only found out my school in April despite applying in October, however I found the communication with the team to be very fast via email and they did try their best to answer any questions I had. Also, the school I taught at had very limited vegetarian options despite stating that I would be fine, so try and ensure the school you are given definitely are willing to provide a variety of food options if you are veggie/vegan! - coming from a veggie who survived on rice, salad and watermelon for two weeks ;)
