Good experience

I think the programme is a great way to gain teaching experience in a relatively unfamiliar and challenging environment. The programme leaders do look after you well, and there's a nice working environment. I gained a lot of confidence and experience in teaching, while also developing my communication and leadership skills, through coordinating with the assistant Chinese teachers. I also really enjoyed getting to know the children, who were often extremely friendly and cheerful. It was also great working with and getting to know the other teachers at the camp. Some evenings all of the teachers and volunteers went to bars, which was a really good way to get to know each other and socialise. I found there were loads of interesting people to talk to from different backgrounds.
