Pros

- teaching enjoyable - lovely translators at the school - travel opportunities - was able to visit Vietnam and another nearby city on weekends

Cons

- application process very slow - communications slow - not much training given - placement unreliable in terms of timetable and accommodation - ended up being quite expensive (e.g. Visa was £184, had to spend own money on food as budget wasn't enough, refundable deposit was £200) - lacked independence to go anywhere without help of translators as based out of city centre and no public transport - but this is probably placement specific

Pros

Great experience teaching Chinese children English language!

Cons

The organisation could've been better. Plans kept changing last minute eg. Schedule, when we would go on the post programme trip, information about the class.

Pros

I would 100% recommend this experience! The teams coordinators Matty and Holly were so lovely and personable and accommodating! We all stayed in Munich for 5 days before the programme started (in a German summer camp) and got to know each other and there was so many sightseeing options!

Cons

Honestly there really wasn’t any, I couldn’t fault this company and I’m so happy I attended this programme!
