WorldTeach volunteers in China teach in secondary schools in Hunan Province.  The program is designed to bring native English speakers to teach students at all socioeconomic levels, as currently in China the upper classes have more opportunities to learn from native speakers.  Your role will be to build students' confidence in English through creative, orally-focused English lessons. 

In addition to teaching English classes, volunteers are encouraged to contribute to their school community in other ways. You may want to set up an English club, help in the school library or computer room, participate in sports, or help students prepare for cultural performances. You may also help local English teachers with their pronunciation skills.

Volunteers must be native English speakers and have a bachelor's degree. Chinese language or teaching qualifications are not required, although prior experience will strengthen your application.
