Teaching in China 🇨🇳

Let me start by saying that I’m really happy to be living and working here in China!!! I’m grateful to TFT for making it happen with a smooth transition!
TFT creates that community of support with the other teachers before flying out, so you never feel alone throughout the entire pre-departure process. The team is knowledgeable of what to prepare beforehand and where/how to do it; they’re always on the ball with communication of timelines and connecting you to the future employer who will best meet your goals.

This is actually my second location teaching with the support of TFT! The clubhouse program allowed me to move from Thailand to China with just a few months in between, and it was a stress-free transition with their guidance. Before choosing to go to China, Jaemi took the time to talk with me about my teaching goals and to map out my needs for my future placement. Without his consultation, I probably wouldn’t be here in China right now. There’s no other teach abroad team I can think of who takes the time to truly get to know their teachers. For that alone, being a part of TFT really does feel like a family that you know has your back!

I’m currently based in Shenzhen, and it truly has all you can ask for. You get a modern city lifestyle, easy access to anything you may be missing from back home, a comfortable work/life balance, and a great mix of expats and locals to build your own community as time goes by. After nearly 4 months in, the TFT team and my fellow teachers continue to stay connected as we get to live this amazing experience together!
