Pros

If you’re coming to China for the first time, EF is a great way to get settled into the country. For me, the culture shock was real upon coming into the country so it helped to have the support provided. The two weeks of orientation really helped to just have time to get used to the country, but as far as teaching goes, if you’re quite new, it still felt like being thrown into the deep end for me. You’ll learn and get better as you teach though. Curriculum and lesson plans are all organized and you’re encouraged to use games and interaction in class. What you learn here is really helpful if you want to continue in teaching. The work environment is really professional among Chinese and foreign staff, and there are events sponsored by EF year round if you want to take advantage of it.

Cons

Had to find our own apartments by our third weekend there. It was nice to have 2-3 weeks to do this, but still stressful.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand the challenges and stress of relocation to a foreign country. We are happy to hear that our orientation program made the adjustment a little bit easier. We're extremely proud of our teaching materials, and the ongoing training and support we provide our teachers, and it's great to hear that you value and appreciate these too! Teaching is not an easy job, and the first few months as a new teacher can be difficult, but it does get easier. Regarding apartment hunting, we encourage our teachers to find apartments by the third weekend, as from our experience this helps speed up the adjustment process, and is a big first step in making China feel like our home away from home.
