You, as an Edu-Pal, would be considered as an “older sibling” to the child(ren) in your host family. Your primary focus would be to facilitate English learning in your host’s home environment. In exchange for your educational assistance, you will be offered the Chinese language (Mandarin) classes, cultural events, and cross-country cultural excursions! In addition to the food and accommodation provided by your host family, you will also receive a monthly stipend of “pocket money” and scholarship & flight compensation. 

 

What We OFFER:

1. Free full-board accommodation with a Host Family and have a private bedroom

2. Receive Monthly stipend & Airfare & Program Scholarship (Up to CNY 8,000)

3. Be covered by travel medical insurance with 0 deductible and $50,000 policy maximum

4. Receive two program certificates: one for your Chinese language learning and one for your English teaching or internship

5. Attend Mandarin lessons and Chinese business classes

6. Visit Chinese factories and attend regular cultural events

7. Experience cultural diversity and meet people from all over the world

8. Travel and explore China 

 

Requirements:

1. University student, including those taking a gap year before or after university

2. Ability to pass a background check

3. Able to commit to at least 3 months 

4. Enthusiastic about working with children

5. Interested in Chinese language and culture

6. Strong communication skills

 

If it is your first time coming to China, you will be amazed by its hospitable people, the modern cities mixed with history, the amazing, authentic food, and so much more as an Edu-Pal. You will leave with many wonderful memories and lasting friendships from an adventure of a lifetime.
