Change Lives in China!
China is a fascinating place, brimming with culture and contrasts. Most visitors to China enjoy walking the Great Wall or exploring the Forbidden City. With TeachOverseas, you have a special opportunity to go beyond the major sites and experience everyday life with Chinese people.
TeachOverseas' innovative Total Immersion Program (TIP) creates an all-English learning environment on a satellite campus of BeijingUniversity. The TIP model is student-centered and activity-centered. We need outgoing, energetic people to join a diverse team of innovators—implementing new ideas and building bridges through relationships with students.
Students have a basic command of English, but may never have interacted with a Westerner before. Your service in the spirit of Christ's love can make a real difference in their lives. Join our team and be a positive influence on the rapid social and economic changes that characterize today's China.

Director's Notes
A note from our Regional Director:
China is a country with an amazing history and culture. It is also going through a period of rapid transition. Students are eager to learn English as well as find out about our values and culture.
During the summer of 2011, the Total Immersion Program (TIP) reached over 1,000 Chinese English teachers from provinces all over China, including Qinghai and Xinjiang in the far west.
We are looking for 30-50 people to join two summer teams in July and August of 2012. Call us at 800 895-7955 for more information.
Go to Beijing - teach conversational English, build relationships and share Christ's love! You'll come back with friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you TeachOverseas! My time in China has been rewarding in so many ways. God has been so faithful!
