Teaching in China with English First Hangzhou
At EF, we tend to share the same sense of adventure and community. We talk about new places to visit and things to do. Being a teacher is not a desk job. It's hectic and can be hard work, but also fun. There's something that surprises me every day working in China that I know I wouldn't find anywhere else.

China is waiting for you

After being guided on how to make a good profile page, the interview offers came rolling in. Even after I made a commitment to a school, teach.fm kept in contact - offering me help with my visa application process.
I would honestly rate the service 10/10.
