Review

From applying to the au pair program to arriving in Beijing, took around 1 month. It was a very spontaneous decision from my part but not at all regretful. I went in on this journey with an open mind eager to explore a new country and it’s culture and language. I got to stay with a family in Beijing for 6 months (dec-june), pretty close to the Center of the city, 3rd ring road. The family have 2 girls that I taught and we got along well together. I had my own separate living space from the family which made the stay more pleasant as I could separate work space and my personal space. The commute to the school was 40 minutes with subway and bus which was quite convenient, and after getting used to the subway system it’s very easy getting around Beijing. The bikes are also a plus, very enjoyable riding around the city and you get to see a lot more of the hidden streets.

Would you recommend this program?
