"It [SA(I)P] has been a once in a lifetime experience...I found it to be so beneficial as I was required to teach the same content in different ways to help the children understand what I was talking about, I think this is a really important skill for a teacher no matter if the children speak the same language as you or not. I also found it was great for me to experience working with children full-time - it has really prepared me for when I am in my first year out of uni.  I got to eat some amazing and strange food and I got to step out of my comfort zone. Thank you ACIC so much for your support, it has been wonderful knowing there is always someone to turn to, I always felt comfortable to approach all of you..."

“I have just finished a placement at a Beijing kindergarten where I worked 20 hours a week teaching English to 5 and 6 year old children who I will miss very much. Watching their English improve has been so rewarding and my own confidence as a teacher has grown. I have had some of the most amazing experiences of my life and I recommend this program to anyone. ACIC have been fantastic, always there to support me whenever I needed someone. I will miss everyone so much and will never forget this experience.”

 “Hey. My name is Kim and I've just completed a 5 month placement in Beijing, China. All I can say is that if you are even considering to take an opportunity like this, do it!! I have loved every minute of my time in China and I now consider it my home. It is a beautiful country with so many different things to see and do! Teaching in a kindergarten was amazing. It was so different to what I was used to, but to see the children progress in their English was almost worth the trip itself. ACIC has been a great, helpful company who are very supportive. If you get offered the opportunity to do this, grab it with both hands!”

“I consider myself very fortunate to have participated in this program that has given me the opportunity to fully experience a different culture.It has been a wonderful opportunity teaching the children and a great joy to see their English improve to the point where we can communicate with each other. It has been a challenge at times, preparing the lessons but very rewarding in presenting them. This has been a very rewarding experience and I have grown both professionally and personally as a result.”

“Coming to China whilst still studying was a great opportunity for me as it enabled me to see parts of the world that I only dreamt about coming to. ACIC provided me with a job, apartment, and on-going support throughout my stay. Monthly gatherings were organized which included, KTV, The Summer Palace and eating Peking duck. I would definitely recommend the experience of a lifetime.”

“We have totally enjoyed our China adventure so far; the teaching, the sightseeing and the people are all great. It is not always easy, sometimes it is seriously frustrating, but we would not give it up for the world. Come to China and find out for yourself just how amazing it is to live in a different culture, meet some wonderful people and learn about yourself as a teacher.”
