Homestay & Cultural Exchange Teaching Experience, 2019

My teaching experience at the school in Beijing that I was placed at was very positive overall. It was an incredible opportunity to make new friends through travelling and taking part in the fun cultural activities with the other teachers. It also gave me the opportunity to spend plenty of time with local people and see so much of the everyday culture and what China is really like, which I feel I would have missed out on if I came by myself purely for a holiday. The homestay programme was particularly good for this. There was plenty of time for sightseeing and exploring during the teaching programme which the participants really appreciated.
