How much money will this experience cost me personally?

You will only need to pay your registration fee, your transportation to Los Angeles LAX airport, the China visa fee, as well and any personal purchases you make while traveling/in China.

What is our departing airport?

AEEC will buy the round trip international ticket from Los Angeles LAX to Guangzhou, China.

Do I need to be able to speak Chinese?

No. We never use Chinese in the classroom. This is an English Camp. Most cities in China have English road signs and English metro stations.  Most restaurants have food in English and if not generally have pictures. Learning some basic Chinese when you arrive such as addresses for the taxi and some food is recommended just to make things easier.  In most large cities you can even order food using apps in English.

I don’t have a teaching background, can I still apply?

Yes. Previous teaching experience is not necessary but is valued.  We will give you the skills to feel confident standing in the classroom. 

I have never lived abroad before. Will it be difficult to adjust?

It should not be difficult to adjust. We have over 10 local assistants who can help and support you. Along with that, we have school nurses and nearby hospitals for our teachers who are free to help you.
