You pay for your flights, visa and insurance (if needed) and a placement arrangement fee. We’ll advise you on these and you can spread out the costs. You receive a salary and all your accommodation, food, airport transfers, orientation and support is included.
Our paid teaching placements in China and Thailand offer salaries between £640 and £1,700 per month plus many other benefits.
Salary
In return for your hard work and new ideas our host company partners pay you a local salary. Use this to help towards the cost of your flight and visa or simply use it as spending money during your stay.
